LAS VEGAS (AP) — The new CEO of Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts says he was not aware of any of the sexual misconduct accusations against casino mogul Steve Wynn before they surfaced in a news report last month.
Matt Maddox was appointed CEO on Feb. 6 after Wynn resigned.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that a number of women said Wynn harassed or assaulted them and that one case led to a $7.5 million settlement.
Maddox says people should "hold off making any judgment" until the investigations into the accusations are complete.
Wynn has vehemently denied the accusations and attributed them to a campaign led by his ex-wife. An attorney for Elaine Wynn denies that claim.
Maddox says the company won't change its name or logo, which is Steve Wynn's signature.
