When Clinton f lew on the Lolita Express ... and was massaged by Epstein victim

- By Kumail Jaffer

THIS is Bill Clinton getting a neck massage – from one of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slaves while on a trip with the notorious financier.

The former US president is seen leaning back and being treated by Chauntae Davies, who was Epstein’s personal masseuse and has since revealed she was raped and abused by the paedophile.

The photos were taken in 2002, as Epstein and his guests stopped off in Lisbon on the way to Africa for a humanitari­an trip. They were flying on his private jet – since nicknamed the Lolita Express.

Ms Davies, who was 22 at the time, said Mr Clinton was a ‘perfect gentleman’.

She said he had apparently complained of having a stiff neck during the flight, prompting Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell – now in jail awaiting trial on child sex traffickin­g charges – to suggest the massage therapist treat him.

She recalls in her upcoming memoir how Mr Clinton asked: ‘Would you mind giving it a crack?’ She said: ‘President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him.

‘Ghislaine chimed in to be funny and said that I could give him a massage. Everyone had a little chuckle but Ghislaine in her prim British accent insisted and said I was good.

‘He turned his back to me and I reached up and I started to rub out the kink in our former president’s neck and shoulder.’

Ms Davies, who is now 40, describes how she suggested the former president should kneel to make the massage easier, saying: ‘I’ve got a bad angle, would you mind getting on your knees?’

The request apparently made Mr Clinton turn red and then burst out laughing.

Epstein had been accused of using his private plane to transport underage girls to his homes around the world.

Ms Davies said: ‘It’s clear Epstein was using this private jet and his wealth to get close to rich and powerful people.

‘Looking back at these images now it raises a lot of questions about why Bill Clinton was using the plane and what perhaps Jeffrey may have been trying to accomplish by having him around.’

Mr Clinton’s team have insisted the former president knew nothing about Epstein’s criminal activities.

Ms Davies said she came to become part of Epstein’s retinue after meeting Maxwell at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills when she was training as a masseuse.

Within weeks she was being flown around on Epstein’s jet but became one of his victims.

She has talked about her experience­s for the TV documentar­y series Surviving Jeffrey Epstein, which starts next Tuesday on the Crime + Investigat­ion TV channel and details the chilling career of the paedophile, who killed himself in custody last year.
