A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse became emotional as she recounted a terrifying experience aboard the notorious billionaire’s private jet, fearing for her life during the assault.

Juliette Bryant described how Epstein began to assault her moments after the “Lolita Express” had taken flight, touching her inappropriately without her consent.

Bryant, who was a 20-year-old aspiring model at the time, disclosed that women who worked for Epstein, and who had brought her onto the Boeing 727–100, merely laughed as the attack unfolded.

Speaking in a heartfelt interview with Sky News, Juliette shared her distress, breaking down as she recalled the moment she realized, “these people might kill me,” leading to an overwhelming sense of panic.

Faced with the threat, she felt compelled to act cordially to protect herself, stating, “I suddenly realised I had to be nice and friendly as I realised I was in great danger.”

She further recounted how Epstein motioned for her to sit beside him, describing the bewildering predicament as terrifying for someone her age, and added, “I was really petrified.”

She first met and was recruited by Epstein in Cape Town in September 2002 when he was touring South Africa with Bill Clinton. 

Within three weeks, she was flown from South Africa’s southern coast to New York and thought ‘my dreams were all coming true’ after he offered to launch her modelling career.

Moments after landing in the Big Apple, the first-year university student was ferried to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and told she was going to the Caribbean and Epstein’s private island.

Her passport was taken away and, trapped on the island, she was repeatedly raped by Epstein for the next two years. She said she was not trafficked to other men. 

Juliette found a disposable camera and took pictures of all the places she was abused, including at his New Mexico ranch. 

She said Epstein offered her $2,000 to recruit girls for him and $4,000 a month to stay with him. But she refused as ‘I didn’t want to be around him’. 

Juliette’s unredacted emails to Epstein were part of the latest tranche of documents released by the Department of Justice.

They show she remained in contact with him until 2017. She said she sent him the emails when she had been drinking or was in the midst of a breakdown.

Juliette said she ‘felt like he was watching me, and that was also why I emailed’, as she added: ‘Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly.’

It comes as the most complete picture yet of the sickening itinerary of the private jet Epstein used to traffic women and girls around the world – and frequently into Britain was revealed by the Daily Mail.

A team of our journalists and data analysts painstakingly pored over newly released information to identify who travelled on the dozens of flights aboard the so-called Lolita Express jet into and out of the UK – and why.

Some 90 flights came in and out of UK airports with suspected sex trafficking victims on board outlined in manifests which charted those journeys over 20 years.

Our findings come as former prime minister Gordon Brown called for the Metropolitan Police to investigate exactly what trafficking may have taken place on British soil.

Using the plane’s serial number N908JE the Boeing 727-100 was used primarily to fly young victims between Epstein’s lavish homes in New York, the US Virgin Islands and his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

But it also made repeated trips to British airports, including small facilities close to royal palaces in both England and Scotland – and corresponds to known visits by Epstein often with Andrew.

Despite ostensibly being business flights, inside the luxuriously decorated aircraft young victims were forced to carry out sex acts and take part in orgies.

In 1999, Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell flew to Scotland and were famously photographed at Balmoral as guests of Prince Andrew.

The picture showed them at a log cabin on the late Queen’s Scottish estate, both dressed in casual clothes sitting on a veranda, with Maxwell’s arm draped over Epstein’s knee.

The following year, in June 2000, Epstein was photographed with Andrew at Royal Ascot as he and Maxwell enjoyed Ladies’ Day in formal attire.

No corresponding flight data has been found for those trips, suggesting those may have been made by a scheduled airline, rather than the private jet Epstein favoured.

But one that was recorded came in the same period, in December 2000, when the couple joined Andrew once again in the UK for a shooting trip at Sandringham.

As well as photos of the pair out on the grouse moors in their tweeds, another image emerged from that trip, taken inside Sandringham House, showing Mountbatten-Windsor reclining across the legs of five people, whose faces have been redacted, with his head near a woman’s lap. In this image, Maxwell appears to peer down and smile at him.

Data from the flight log shows that Epstein was given permission to land at RAF Marham, having flown into Luton airport initially from JFK in New York.

Marham is only a 20-minute drive from Sandringham. On the way back, via Norwich airport, the flight manifest shows the passengers as Epstein and Maxwell, someone listed as ‘Kelly Spamm’, US hotel tycoon Tom Pritzker and an unnamed person listed only as ‘female’.

In March 2001, Epstein and Maxwell flew to the UK with Virginia Roberts, then aged 17, and during this trip, Ms Roberts (later Giuffre) alleged that Prince Andrew had sex with her at Maxwell’s London mews flat.

It was also when Andrew was photographed with his hand around her waist whilst a smiling Maxwell looked on in the background.

Flight logs show that the London visit was part of a longer journey encompassing Granada, Spain and Tangier, Morocco.

Epstein and Maxwell picked up Ms Roberts, then aged 17, in Palm Beach, Florida, in March 2001 and flew her to Paris via Canada. There, Alberto Pinto, the interior designer, his sister, Linda, Ricardo Legorreta, the Mexican architect, and an unnamed female joined the party and went to Granada in Spain.

The Pintos and the woman were taken on to Tangier before Ms Roberts flew with Epstein and Maxwell to London for two days.

It was there that Ms Roberts said she was taken to Maxwell’s mews house in Knightsbridge, where the infamous photo of Prince Andrew with his hand round the teenager’s bare midriff was allegedly taken.

Andrew suggested in his disastrous Newsnight interview that the notorious photo had been fake, but emails from Maxwell contained in the Epstein files confirmed that it was genuine.

Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in June 2008.

The disgraced billionaire died in 2019 in a New York jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
