The Duke of York enjoyed luxury travel on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet and had massages paid for by the paedophile, damning new files have alleged.
Documents released by Democrats sitting on the House Oversight Committee in the US list Prince Andrew as a passenger on a flight from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach in Florida.
The Duke is named alongside Epstein and his then-girlfriend and now convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as two other individuals whose names have been redacted.
The jet was dubbed ‘the Lolita Express’ because many young women were transported via the plane to Epstein’s island.
The flight carrying Andrew is documented to have taken place on May 12, 2000; the name Andrew appears again in the flight logs on May 16, 2002.
An excerpt from Epstein’s ledger also appears to show that Andrew enjoyed a $200 massage on May 16 2000.
The massage sessions Epstein frequently partook in at his Palm Beach home were used to abuse minors and young girls, forcing them into sex acts.
Several of his victims have testified that they were paid about $200 per massage session.
Details of the duke being a passenger on Epstein’s private jet have previously been heard in court through Maxwell’s trial – with one of her accusers, who was 14 at the time, recalling she had travelled on a flight with Andrew.
Andrew strongly denies any wrongdoing and says he terminated their friendship once knowledge of his crimes came to light.
A reference was also made to X owner Elon Musk potentially visiting the sex offender’s island.
Musk is listed in the documents as being a potential visitor to Little St James on December 6, 2014.
The visits mentioned in the latest documents came six years after Epstein became a listed sex offender.
His name appears on what appears to be Epstein’s daily schedule, with the entry saying: ‘Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec.6 (is this still happening?)’
In June, Musk indicated President Donald Trump should be impeached and claimed his administration was concealing information about Mr Trump’s association with Epstein.
He later appeared to have deleted posts about the sex offender and claimed he declined invitations to the paedophile’s island.
Last night, he denied planning a trip to the island, writing on X in response to a tweet discussing the latest files: ‘This is false’.
The pages from Epstein’s schedule show he was in touch with prominent figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, ex-White House strategist Steve Bannon and investor Peter Thiel. There is no evidence they knew of Epstein’s crimes.
Oversight spokesperson Sara Guerrero said: ‘It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world.
‘Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims. Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes.
‘It’s past time for Attorney General Bondi to release all the files now.’
The committee have been facing mounting pressures to subpoena Andrew to testify to his relationship and involvement with Epstein, but as he is a British citizen he cannot be compelled to go to the US to give evidence.
The documents come days after an email from Sarah, Duchess of York, to Epstein, in which she apologised to him for disowning him in the media.
Her spokesman said the message, which also saw her label the sex offender as a ‘supreme friend’, was written because he had threatened to sue her for defamation.
The surfacing of the email led the duchess to be dropped by a number of charities, of which she had been a patron.
When Virginia Giuffre, previously known as Ms Roberts, first made claims against the duke he fired off an email to his close friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was subsequently jailed for her role as a child sex trafficker for Epstein.
Andrew vehemently and consistently denied Ms Giuffre’s claims that she was sex-trafficked to him by Epstein when she was 17.
In 2022, the duke reached a reported £12 million civil settlement with Ms Giuffre – who committed suicide earlier this year – with no admission of guilt.
Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges.
The death was ruled a suicide.
