All aboard the 'Lolita Express': Flight logs reveal the many trips Bill Clinton and Alan Dershowitz took on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's private jet with anonymous women
Just released flight records show Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has been flying with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on the financier's private jet dubbed the 'Lolita Express' since as early as 1997, despite public statements that they were only acquaintances.
The high-profile lawyer has been distancing himself from Epstein ever since a young woman named Virginia Roberts filed a lawsuit claiming she was recruited to work as a 'sex slave' for Epstein when she was just 15, naming both Dershowitz and Prince Andrew as two of her molesters.
The flight records, obtained by Gawker, also show former President Bill Clinton rode on Epstein's jet at least 11 times, and often with two of Epstein's female associates believed to have provided the dozens of underage girls to their boss and his well-connected friends.
According to court documents, Epstein's former assistant Sarah Kellen and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly found and groomed the underage girls to pimp out to Epstein and his friends. Kellen received immunity for her part in the ring during Epstein's court case in the mid-2000s, while Maxwell was never charged and has furiously denied involvement.
In court filings, Roberts maintains that she never had sexual relations with Clinton - or knew of him taking an interest in any of Epstein's other 'massage' girls - though he was sometimes present on the banker's private Caribbean island during her years of work.
On Thursday, Dershowitz appeared on the Today show to emphatically deny claims he had sex with then-underage Roberts, saying she was 'making the whole thing up'.
'I was never in the presence of a single underage woman,' he said. 'I never saw [Epstein] doing anything improper. I was not a witness. I was not a participant. And I will prove it.'
On Wednesday, Roberts lodged fresh documents in Florida detailing the alleged abuse she suffered at the Duke of York's hands, including how she had an orgy with him and eight other young girls.

But on Thursday, Dershowitz said that, while Roberts claims she had sex with him at Epstein's Caribbean Island and his New Mexico ranch, he had only ever been there briefly with his wife and daughter.
He claims that the third accusation - that he had sex with Roberts on a private plane - is false and that flight manifests will prove he was never aboard the plane with her.
'I've ever seen her and I've never met her,' he insisted. 'She is categorically lying and making the whole thing up... This is Pinocchio's nose growing longer and longer.'
He insisted that his relationship with Epstein had been entirely 'academic' and that he had only ever met with him in the presence of dignitaries and professors. He told the American Lawyer that reports that the two were 'chummy' were 'a total bum rap'.
While Epstein did donate to Dershowitz's university in 2003, flight records show that their familiarity goes all the way back to December 1997 when the lawyer first rode on his jet from Palm Beach, Florida to New Jersey's Teterboro Airport with Epstein's gal-pal Maxwell and a slew of woman identified without their last names on the flight log.
Their names were simply jotted down as 'Hazel', 'Claire' and one other anonymous 'female'.

When confronted with the flight information by Gawker, Dershowitz admitted that he had known Epstein since 1997 and rode on the banker's jet to attend Limited Brands CEO Les Wexner's 60th birthday.
And the ride up to Wexner's birthday wasn't just a one off thing. The logs show Dershowitz continued to fly on Epstein's plane including a October 1998 flight from Massachusetts to New Jersey and a 1999 trip from New Jersey to Martha's Vineyard.
A 2005 jaunt from Massachusetts to Montreal shows Dershowitz traveled with Epstein, a woman named 'Tatianna' and others.
Despite telling Gawker that he has a 'very clear, unequivocal recollection' of never being on a plane with 'young women' he has a hard time explaining who the single-named females are who scatter the flight logs.
He said he doesn't know who 'Hazel' or 'Claire' were, and that 'Tatianna' may have been a twenty-something woman who was friends with Epstein's girlfriend, but that he never flew with her.
And he also finds it hard to explain why his wife doesn't appear to join him on the flights, who he publicly said accompanies him nearly everywhere in statements issued in the wake of the lawsuit.

'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,' he told Gawker. 'I have a very clear, unequivocal recollection that I was never on a plane with any young women, period.'
It should be noted though that flight records are kept by pilots mostly to keep time, and could contain inaccuracies as to passengers.
Further discrediting Dershowitz's claim not to be close with Epstein is a Vanity Fair story from 2003 in which he says that he would stand by Epstein, even if he filed for bankruptcy.
'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,' he told the magazine.
He responded to the Vanity Fair quote, telling Gawker: 'He was a friend with whom I talked about ideas. We never discussed women or his social life.'
Also revealed in the flight logs was the fact that former President Clinton road on Epstein's jet at least 11 times between 2002 to 2004, and was sometimes accompanied by Maxwell and Kellen.
