Epstein, who was sentenced to prison in 2008 for purchasing sex from a minor, was not present.

The newly released Epstein documents show that Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn often dined with Jeffrey Epstein in New York. They offered each other support during periods of media criticism. They lamented being accused - unfairly, they told each other - of sexual assault, the AP reports.
