A gynecologist at Ohio State University whose name appeared in the Epstein files as having received thousands of dollars in payments from the convicted sex offender for consulting work is being investigated by the university, an official there confirmed Friday.

Dr. Mark Landon is cooperating with the investigation, Serena Smith, a spokesperson for OSU's Wexner Medical Center, said in an email.

Landon "has stated he had no knowledge of any criminal activities and his consulting work did not involve any patient care," Smith said.

"We continue to review the situation and have received no information to date that contradicts Dr. Landon’s statement," Smith said.
