Jack Horner, the renowned palaeontologist who inspired the character of Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, has left his role at Chapman University. This follows revelations that he visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's ranch in New Mexico in 2012 while seeking funding for his research.
The emails, recently released by the US Justice Department, have raised questions about Horner's connection to Epstein, though no illegal activity has been suggested. Horner expressed regret over his lack of due diligence at the time, noting that he did not see anything 'weird or suspicious' during his visits.
