City in Tompkins County, New York, USA, enclosed by the town of the same name
Ithaca appears in the documents primarily as the location where physicist Lawrence Krauss gave a talk in early 2011, mentioned in correspondence between Krauss and Rebecca Watson regarding sexual harassment allegations.
The city appears predominantly in email exchanges between Rebecca Watson (a skeptic podcaster) and Lawrence Krauss, where Watson references meeting Krauss 'after your talk in Ithaca a few months ago' before the April 2011 email. This same email thread is duplicated across multiple document IDs in the House Oversight records. Two additional mentions appear as bibliographic citations to Cornell University Press (located in Ithaca) in academic works about evil and genocide. Ithaca itself is not connected to Epstein—it appears incidentally as Cornell University's location, relevant because Krauss had ties to Epstein and later sought his advice on responding to sexual misconduct allegations.
Key Highlights
- •Mentioned as the location of a Lawrence Krauss talk attended by Rebecca Watson in late 2010 or early 2011
- •The same email exchange appears duplicated across 12 different document IDs, inflating mention counts
- •Two additional mentions are merely bibliographic citations to Cornell University Press
- •No evidence Epstein visited Ithaca or had connections to Cornell University
