THE dank jail cell from where Epstein sees out his sex abuse trial is a far cry from the window-view seat of his private jet.
New sordid details from life inside Epstein’s informally known ‘Lolita Express’ have emerged as former guests recall the mid-air sex lair, complete with padded floors.
Photos from Epstein’s long-time personal pilot Larry Visoski and the glossy pages of a sale brochure, reveals the jet’s plush purpose-built interior.
The luxury Boeing 727 aircraft boasts deluxe furnishings, a spacious galley, expansive cabin lounge and a master bedroom.
The jet’s detailed sale prospectus, as seen by The Sun Online, describes the 29-passenger interior as “tailored to enhance the experience during long range travel”.
Exactly what happened on the flights where Epstein courted his famous friends and underage girls alike, remained a closely guarded secret.
But recently resurfaced accounts detail wild orgies and padded floors purposely designed for sex mid-flight.
Lavish red velvet chairs and sofas offer the ultimate comfort as he flew between his million-dollar houses across the world.
The luxury commercial jet also features a circular shaped lounge filled with sprawling beige chairs, leading to a spacious private bedroom.
Inside the room lies a queen size bed, a sitting area, a small desk and study and a private en suite with integrated shower.
Sealed inside the mahogany or teak walls are spacious mirrored wardrobes and drawers.
A separate dining area comes complete with a galley kitchen for preparing food.
Additional window treatments throughout the aircraft are fitted with custom shades behind tinted glass.
It’s alleged Epstein used his plane to fly underage girls between his residences in New York, Palm Beach, New Mexico and the Caribbean island of Little St James.
The playboy billionaire and paedophile has since been accused of having group sex with young girls on the bed he had privately installed.
In 2015, victim Virginia Roberts filed a lawsuit against Epstein, claiming that he recruited her as a ‘sex slave’ at the age of 15.
She also alleged her sexually abusing her for years on his private jet as well as his various homes.
Roberts, now 35, claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew by Epstein in London, New York and the Caribbean.
The Duke of York was pictured with his arm around the then 17-year-old’s waist at the home of Ghislane Maxwell – a personal aide to the financier – in London in 2001 but has strongly denied the claims.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “It is categorically denied that The Duke of York received massages from unclothed women at any party given by Mr Epstein.”
An additional statement read: “The Duke of York has not visited any home of Mr Epstein or met with him since December 2010 when the photograph in Central Park was taken.”
MID-AIR SEX LAIR
Many believe Epstein’s pilot Visoski, who flew the financier for 20 years, knows more about what went on in the skies.
In the past the captain has admitted he knew minors were on board, Mail Online reported.
However, he said he never suspected Epstein of having sex with them.
Regularly posting selfies in front of the jets to his Instagram page, the chief pilot manages the $80million fleet.
I was so stupid and naïve—Why are padded floors cool? I was too young to get it
A former model
Two women who were involved with Epstein in the early 2000s spoke with Vanity Fair on Thursday.
One, a former model who was at the time freshly out of college, told the publication of the time Epstein gave her and a group of older men a tour of his jet.
She recalled the moment she realised the jet’s floors were padded, saying: “Wow, rich people are weird.
“I was so stupid and naïve—Why are padded floors cool? I was too young to get it.”
She added that the other men winked and joked with each other, knowing the floors were designed so that Epstein could have sex on the floor at 10,000 feet.
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES
Epstein’s wealthy friends often travelled with him on his private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express” by the Press.
On the plane, with bed aboard, Epstein is said to have hosted wild orgies as he flew to his houses in New York, Florida and New Mexico and to his own Caribbean island of Little St James.
Flight logs reveal he flew former US president Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, model Naomi Campbell and Prince Andrew aboard the Boeing 727.
A Clinton spokesman yesterday said he only took four flights and insisted he knew “nothing about the terrible crimes”.
It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side
President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump also hobnobbed with Epstein, saying in a 2002 interview: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy.
“He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
DISTURBING TEEN SEX RING
Prosecutors allege Epstein amassed a “vast network” of girls as young as 14 who he would lure to his homes and sexually abuse.
When officers raided his seven-storey townhouse in New York earlier this month, they found rooms stuffed with sex toys and thousands of pictures of naked women and girls.
On Monday, a dishevelled Epstein, wearing a blue prison-issue uniform, appeared at a court in Manhattan and pleaded not guilty.
His attorneys argued the case is a “do-over” of the 2008 Florida case, which saw him serve 13 months in prison.
Back then, police had launched an investigation after a 14-year-old girl told police an older man named “Jeff” had molested her at his home.
A plea bargain saw him sign a non-prosecution agreement to dodge federal charges that might have sent him to prison for life.
He ended up pleading guilty to minor state charges in Palm Beach and served 13 months in a private wing of a county jail, mostly on work release.
He told me he wanted them as young as I could find them
Accuser Courtney Wild
The “sweetheart deal” has since been much criticised and was the subject of an investigation by the Miami Herald newspaper last year.
It emerged that authorities had discovered a disturbing teen sex ring — with the same type of allegations that Epstein faces now.
Victims told police how they would be led to Epstein’s bedroom to give him massages, before he told them to remove their clothing. It was alleged he would then sexually assault them, paying them up to £800 per visit.
But the state attorney’s office in Palm Beach declined to pursue the more serious charges, claiming the girls were not credible.
Prosecutors feared they would lose at trial, in part due to Epstein’s lawyers dredging up dirt on the victims, including social media posts indicating drug use.
Now, following pressure from alleged victims and the media in light of the #MeToo movement, prosecutors are looking again.
Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, says his old non-prosecution deal is only binding with prosecutors in Florida.
Courtney Wild and Michelle Licata — who were among Epstein’s accusers in the previous criminal case in Florida in 2008 — sat in court for his hearing on Monday.
Miss Wild previously revealed she was still a braces-wearing 14-year-old schoolgirl when Epstein allegedly forced her to perform sex acts.
She says she went on to recruit other girls for him, adding: “He told me he wanted them as young as I could find them.
“If I had a girl to bring him at breakfast, lunch and dinner, then that’s how many times I would go a day.
“He wanted as many girls as I could get. It was never enough.”
Lawyer David Boies, who represents a number of Epstein’s accusers, said: “We hope that prosecutors will not stop with Mr Epstein.
“There were many other people who participated with him and made the sex trafficking possible.”
Epstein remains behind bars as his trial continues.
