Leslie Benzies, now head of Build a Rocket Boy, was mentioned in the Epstein files – and the other Grand Theft Auto boss, Sam Houser was named too.
According to shocking allegations revealed in the latest publication of the Epstein files, Benzies is accused of sexual assault. Furthermore, it has been claimed that Sam Houser, the current president of Rockstar, was aware of the situation. These allegations come from Sarah Ransome, a recognized victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking ring. She was allegedly abused by the pair in 2006. In the recently released Epstein documents, she writes that „Leslie Benzie” also sexually abused her while she was dating him.
The U.S. Department of Justice recently released a 62-page document as part of the ongoing release of the Epstein files. On page 38, Ransome mentions two significant names: Leslie Benzies and Sam Houser. Benzies left Rockstar North in 2016 and founded Build a Rocket Boy, known for MindsEye. It is important to note that the mention of Benzies’s and Houser’s names in the document reflects Ransome’s personal opinion and is not directly related to Epstein or the crimes he and Maxwell committed.
“Leslie Benzie seemed as if he had invented throwing money at a “prostitute,” then sexually assaulting her. Kids, that’s what drugs do! He used it in video games for the entertainment of millions of people. That shit had to come from somewhere. Why not the guy who helped invent Grand Theft Auto? He also visited me in New York, knew what was happening, and gave me money to book my ticket when I arrived on September 1, 2006. Check his bank records. Sam Houser, you met me many times while dating Leslie. Now, the time has come to reveal what you and your Rockstar North boys really do behind the scenes. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit against you yet!” Ransome’s allegations claim.
Ransome was compiling a “witness list” of people who could potentially support him in his lawsuit against the FBI and the US government. The shocking list included Benjamin Netanyahu, Oprah Winfrey, Melinda Gates, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Donald Trump, and many others. Near the end of the list is a long description of Ransome and Benzies’s alleged relationship, including the above information, which is taken verbatim from the document.
The email was written in December 2023. In the introductory paragraphs, the author explains the purpose of the document: “You are joining the long list of witnesses below that I will be adding to my personal witness list, seeing as I am one of the lead plaintiffs in the current claim filed against the FBI and US government, for which we are still awaiting a response!”
These allegations have stirred up social media, with many gamers expressing concern about the revelations. No one has responded to the allegations yet. These allegations could have wider implications for Rockstar North, which is already in a precarious position due to recent anti-union actions and overtime issues.
