His emails where he begs to go to the island are in the files, so technically he is in the Epstein Files. Being in the files doesn't necessarily mean that you went to the island, or even had a connection at all to Epstein. Jon Stewart is also in the files. (Piped link)

Being "in the Epstein files" doesn't mean "was on the Island" or "had sex with children". It means their name was mentioned in the files. Often that's because they exchanged emails with Epstein. But, there are people who are "in the Epstein files" because their names were mentioned in an email. There are a few unfortunate people who were "in the Epstein files" because they were mentioned in passing, something like "did you see X's new comedy special?" or "I liked the new book by Y".

In his case, he was in the Epstein files because he sent emails to Epstein, essentially begging for an invite to a party.

He was invited at least once, according to the emails exchanged between him and Epstein in the Epstein Files.

My (very low) understanding is that he wasn’t invited because even these pervert assholes thought he would be too weird.

tbhwu, i don't care about the distinction.

Maybe they invited him but only gave him the bottom-shelf minors.

All that info was in Epstein files so he definitely is there. Whether he touched kids, we don't know but what we know is that he is so pathetic that not even pedos wanted him in.
