The Duke of York enjoyed luxury travel on Jeffrey Epstein ‘s private jet, as he has been named again in newly released files. Documents released by democrats sitting on the House Oversight Committee in the US, show Andrew as a listed passenger on a flight from Teterboro, New Jersey , to Palm Beach in Florida . The Duke is named alongside Epstein, his then-girlfriend and now convicted sexual trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell , as well as two names which have been redacted.

The jet was chillingly dubbed ‘the Lolita Express’ because many young women and girls were transported on it. The flight is documented to have taken place on May 12, 2000 and the name Andrew appears again in the flight logs on May 16, 2002. He was also documented to have enjoyed a $200 massage, including exercise and yoga.

The massage sessions Epstein frequently partook in at his Palm Beach home became notoriously used to abuse young girls and force them into sexual acts. Several of his victims have testified that they were paid $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.

The Duke 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 sexual offender’s island. Musk is listed in the documents as being a potential visitor to Epstein’s island, Little St James, on December 6, 2014 – six years after he became a listed sexual 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 sexual offender.

The pages from Epstein’s schedule show he was in touch with prominent figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel. There is no evidence those people knew about how Epstein was sexually abusing teenage girls. 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 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 sexual 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.

Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sexual-trafficking charges. The death was ruled a [self-inflicted death].
