Summary: Several prominent names have shown up on the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein’s plane. Epstein is accused of multiple sex crimes, including having a sex trafficking ring.
According to Gawker, Bill Clinton has flown several times on the “Lolita Express,” which is a private passenger jet owned by Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire with a history of sex crimes. Allegedly joining the former president was a porn star who was listed in Epstein’s address book under “massages.” Even more disturbing, Clinton shared over twelve flights with a woman who is believed to have secured underage girls to participate in sexual acts with Epstein and his buddies. The woman is believed to be a “co-conspirator” in Epstein’s crimes.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to one count of soliciting underage girls for sex, as well as one count of adult solicitation, in a Florida courtroom. He served a little over a year in county jail for those charges. However, when investigators began digging deep into Epstein’s past, they found a long history of disturbing behavior and a list of 35 minors he had allegedly sexually abused. The peculiar investor apparently hired teenage girls for “massages,” but instead of receiving a traditional massage, Epstein would penetrate the girls with sex toys, demand that the girls masturbate him, and have sex with the young girls. Epstein has supposedly settled lawsuits from over 30 “Jane Doe” victims in the past seven years. The youngest victim was just twelve years old at the time of the abuse.
One of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts, claimed that Epstein sought her out as a “sex slave” when she was fifteen years old. In a federal filing, she said that Epstein “sexually trafficked [her] to politically-connected and financially-powerful people,” such as Alan Dershowitz, an attorney, and Prince Andrew. In the filing, Roberts claimed that she had sex with Dershowitz on “private planes.” Both Dershowitz and Prince Andrew deny the allegations. A royal family spokesman called the allegations against Prince Andrew “categorically untrue,” according to CNN.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Sarah Kellen, a socialite and former assistant of Epstein’s, respectively, are female associates of the billionaire that have been accused of acting as pimps for him. In multiple court filings, it is claimed that Maxwell and Kellen recruited and trained young girls as child sex workers and participated in sexual acts with them. The Palm Beach Police Department, which launched the investigation, prepared a warrant for Kellen’s arrest for sex with minors and serving as an accessory to molestation. However, she was never arrested for her alleged involvement. In 2007, she was granted immunity in a non-prosecution agreement, where she was named a “potential co-conspirator” in sex trafficking.

Read about a defamation suit filed against Dershowitz by one of the victims here.
Maxwell is the daughter of the late Robert Maxwell, a former media tycoon. She was accused of photographing Epstein’s targets in “sexually explicit poses and [keeping] the child pornography on her computer.” In addition, she allegedly engaged “in lesbian sex with the underage females she procured for Epstein.” She, too, has denied the accusations brought against her.
As for Clinton, he flew on Epstein’s plane with Maxwell and Kellen on a minimum of 11 flights in 2002 and 2003. This was well before any accusations against the group became public. Pilot logbooks that have emerged in civil litigation involving Epstein show that Clinton, his Secret Service, and his aide Doug Band flew from Japan to Hong Kong with Kellen, Maxwell, Epstein, and two other women called “Janice” and “Jessica.” Just a month later, Clinton flew from Miami to Westchester with Epstein, Kellen, Maxwell, and “one female.” One civil lawsuit asked for $50 million in damages, Wikipedia notes.
In 2002, Clinton borrowed Epstein’s plane for an anti-poverty and anti-AIDs tour of Africa that lasted a week. Joining Clinton was Chris Tucker, Kevin Spacey, Ron Burkle, and Gayle Smith, Clinton’s confidant and a member of President Barack Obama’s National Security Council. Maxwell, Kellen, and Chauntie Davies were also present.
Chauntie Davies’ name pops up in Epstein’s notorious little black book as well—she’s listed as one of the 27 female names under “Massage—California.” Epstein kept six lists of massage girls for different locations. In total, he had 160 names on his massage lists.
Davies, according to her IMDB profile, recently appeared in HBO’s Enlightened. In 2002, the then 23-year-old appeared as a “lingerie model” in a movie called Exposed, which was produced by softcore pornography company MRG Entertainment.
It isn’t clear what Davies was doing on the trip to Africa. Her LinkedIn page lists certification in Swedish massage, but there is no evidence that she ever provided this service to Epstein. In response to an email, she said, “I really am not interested in being slandered in the media for having known this person a long time ago. Some of the things being said are not things I have information on.”
Other well-known names show up in the flight logs for various trips from 1997 to 2005. These include Larry Summers, the former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president; Naomi Campbell; Stephen Pinker, a scientist; and Dershowitz.
Although Dershowitz had insisted that he did not have a close relationship with Epstein, the flight logs and additional evidence prove otherwise. Since Roberts pointed the finger at Dershowitz, he claimed he was merely an acquaintance of Epstein’s, and that he’d hung out with him to fundraise for his alma mater, Harvard. He told American Lawyer: “Let me tell you how I met him. I was introduced to him by Lady de Rothschild as an academic colleague. He was friendly with Larry Summers…He was in the process of contributing $50 million to Harvard for evolutionary biology.”
In fact, Epstein did pledge $30 million to Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. The first installment of $6.5 million was revealed in 2003. Summers became president of Harvard in 2001. Dershowitz has attempted to claim that he was friendly with Epstein only when it worked to his benefit, since Epstein was friends with his boss.
Dershowitz also said he’s not a cheater: “I’ve been married to the same woman for 28 years. She goes with me everywhere. People know that I won’t argue a case or give a speech unless my wife travels with me. This is not the profile of someone who screws around.”
Loading ...However, it looks like Dershowitz hitched a ride with Epstein on his plane from Palm Beach to New Jersey back in 1997. On a December flight, they traveled with “Claire,” “Hazel,” a “female,” and Maxwell.
Dershowitz claims he is a victim of extortion.
In 1998, Dershowitz also allegedly flew with Epstein from Massachusetts to New Jersey, and from New Jersey to Martha’s Vineyard in 1999. In 2005, Dershowitz was onboard for a flight from Massachusetts to Montreal with Epstein, “Tatianna,” and a few more.
Interestingly, Dershowitz’s wife was not listed on the flight logs. When asked why she was not listed, Dershowitz said that she was present for several of the flights, but she was not listed in the logs. Of course, the logs could be inaccurate. Dershowitz insisted, “She travels with me all over. On occasion, she’s working or travels separately. I travel with her almost all the time, not all the time.” However, to make things clear, Dershowitz said, “I have a very clear, unequivocal recollection that I was never on a plane with any young women, period.”
When asked about the girls on the flights, he said, “I don’t know” and “I have no idea.” He noted that the unidentified female “could have been [his] mother.”
However, Dershowitz spun a different story to Vanity Fair in 2003, before any allegations against Epstein emerged. For example: “Alan Dershowitz says that, as he was getting to know Epstein, his wife asked him if he would still be close to him if Epstein suddenly filed for bankruptcy. Dershowitz says he replied, ‘Absolutely. I would be as interested in him as a friend if we had hamburgers on the boardwalk in Coney Island and talked about his ideas.’”
When asked about these comments, Dershowitz said, “He was a friend with whom I talked about ideas. We never discussed women or his social life.”
Dershowitz, along with attorneys Ken Starr, Roy Black, and Gerald Lefcourt, convinced federal authorities not to charge Epstein with transporting his victims across state lines, along with other crimes. The non-prosecution agreement immunized both named and unnamed “potential co-conspirators” in the child trafficking ring. This includes those who sought out minors for Epstein’s enjoyment, and others who may have molested the children. Dershowitz did not sign this agreement, but recent filings in Roberts’ case argue that Dershowitz took care of his own immunity.
The filings read:
“Dershowitz would later play a significant role in negotiating the NPA on Epstein’s behalf. Indeed, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement that provided immunity from federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida not only to Epstein, but also to “any potential co-conspirators of Epstein”. . . . Thus, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement with a provision that provided protection for himself against criminal prosecution in Florida for sexually abusing Jane Doe #3.”
Of course, Dershowitz was outraged at the implication that he sought immunity for himself. He said, “If I had sex with Virginia Roberts, which I didn’t, I wouldn’t be a co-conspirator, I’d be a perpetrator.” As a perpetrator, he would not have immunity under the agreement. He added, “I did not know this woman, I did not touch this woman, and the entire story is made up out of whole cloth.”
Dershowitz has stated he will seek disbarment of Roberts’ lawyers, including former federal judge Paul Cassell. “Either [Cassell] will be disbarred or I will be. And if I knowingly had sex with a sex slave then I would deserve disbarment.”
