博彩業(yè)大亨史蒂夫·韋恩被指性行為不當富翁辭職
Billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn has resigned as head of Wynn Resorts, less than two weeks after the Wall Street Journal published a report about decades of allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Journal article detailed several incidents in which Wynn allegedly pressured staff to perform sex acts. The allegations include those from a manicurist who claims she was forced to have sex with Wynn in 2005, shortly after he opened his flagship Wynn Las Vegas. The paper said she was later paid a $7.5 million settlement.
Wynn has denied the accusations, including again in a statement issued Tuesday announcing he was stepping down.
"In the last couple of weeks, I have found myself the focus of an avalanche of negative publicity. As I have reflected upon the environment this has created -- one in which a rush to judgment takes precedence over everything else, including the facts -- I have reached the conclusion I cannot continue to be effective in my current roles," he said.
Wynn is a towering figure in the gambling world who helped revitalize Las Vegas with resorts such as The Bellagio, The Mirage and Treasure Island.
In addition to being a business mogul, Wynn also served as the finance chairman of the Republican National Committee before resigning from that post last month, and has been a large contributor to the Republican Party.
美國億萬富翁、博彩業(yè)大亨史蒂夫·韋恩(Steve Wynn)辭去了在永利度假村的首席執(zhí)行官職務。不到兩星期前，華爾街日報報道，他被指稱幾十年期間一直有不當性行為。
華爾街日報的報道詳細描述了韋恩據(jù)稱強迫集團員工與他發(fā)生性行為。一名美甲師指稱，韋恩在拉斯維加斯開始運營永利酒店后不久，2005年強迫與她發(fā)生性關(guān)系。華爾街日報說，他們達成和解，這名美甲師得到750萬美元。
韋恩否認所有指稱，并在星期二宣布辭去永利度假村首席執(zhí)行官的聲明中再次否認。
他在聲明中說：“過去兩周來，我成了雪崩般負面報道的焦點。由于在當前環(huán)境下人們不顧事實急于下定論，我得出結(jié)論，我已無法繼續(xù)有效行使職權(quán)。”
韋恩是博彩業(yè)中的泰斗之一，幫助重振了拉斯維加斯的發(fā)展，參與的工程包括百樂宮酒店（Bellagio）、米拉奇酒店（The Mirage）和金銀島酒店（Treasure Island）。
韋恩不僅是商界名人，上個月辭職前還擔任共和黨全國委員會的財務委員會主席，并一直是共和黨的一個大額捐款人。
