The Link Between Bill Clinton, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Underage Girls
R Kelly’s friends ‘hand police 20 videos of star having sex with underage girls’
by Matt Naham | Law and Crime
Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s friend, former partner and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, was reportedly “very close” to Bill Clinton, who recently went on the record through a spokesman to say he “knows nothing” about Epstein’s crimes.
A Politico report from Sunday about the Maxwell-Clinton connection cited a number of anonymous individuals. One of those said to be familiar with the situation claimed that the British socialite Maxwell was not only “incredibly close” to Chelsea Clinton, but also “had her own relationship with Bill Clinton and was very close to him”:
Maxwell first grew close with the Clintons after Bill Clinton left office, vacationing on a yacht with Chelsea Clinton in 2009, attending her wedding in 2010, and participating in the Clinton Global Initiative as recently as 2013, years after her name first emerged in accounts of Epstein’s alleged sexual abuse.
Bill Clinton has admitted only to taking four trips on Epstein’s plane–dubbed the “Lolita Express”– in 2002 and 2003, saying he was surrounded by a secret service detail the entire time. He also said that his meetings with Epstein were brief and infrequent.
Although Clinton’s press secretary Angel UreƱa said in the statement that Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or with those which he has been recently charged in New York,” an investigative journalist said that Clinton was not telling the truth about Epstein.
“I know from the pilot logs and these are pilot logs that you know were written by different pilots and at different times that Clinton went, he was a guest of Epstein’s 27 times,” Conchita Sarnoff said. “[M]any of those times Clinton had his Secret Service with him and many times he did not.”
“Almost every time that Clinton’s name is on the flight logs, there are underage girls there. There are initials and there are names of many, many girls on that private plane,” she added.
Interestingly, much of the Politico story otherwise focused on Maxwell-Chelsea Clinton encounters that took place in 2009 and thereafter. 2009 was after Epstein did 13 months in county jail for soliciting prostitution from a minor, as part of a sweetheart deal that took federal charges off the table and immunized his co-conspirators from prosecution. While Epstein could have gone to prison for life for sexually abusing dozens of young girls, he was instead afforded extraordinary work release privileges that he allegedly abused.
In the ensuing years, Maxwell reportedly connected with Chelsea Clinton and Clinton’s husband Marc Mezvinsky through Ted Waitt, a billionaire to whom Maxwell was “romantically linked.”
Per Politico:
A person close to Chelsea Clinton described Waitt as a “very close family friend” of Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, and said the couple met Maxwell through him in 2011. The person said Clinton and her husband ended their friendship with Maxwell when she and Waitt broke up in early 2011, and disputed that Maxwell and Chelsea Clinton were ever “close.”
Two people familiar with the relationship between Maxwell and the Clintons said Maxwell, Clinton and Mezvinsky flew together on a private plane to rendezvous with Waitt for a trip on Waitt’s yacht. One of those people said the trip took place in 2009.
Waitt, whose philanthropic endeavors focus on the world’s oceans, has given somewhere between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. Waitt’s philanthropic foundation did not respond to a request for comment.
In 2010, Maxwell went to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. There is an image of this that has circulated online. Maxwell was reportedly Waitt’s date at the wedding.
Here’s Ghislaine Maxwell, by many accounts Jeffrey Epstein’s “pimp” and “groomer of girls” at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.
But a Clinton spokesperson disputed that Maxwell and Chelsea Clinton were really close. Her chief of staff also released a statement saying that they did not know about the allegations against Maxwell until 2015.
“It wasn’t until 2015 that Chelsea and [her husband] Marc became aware of the horrific allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell and hope that all the victims find justice. Chelsea and Marc were friendly with her because of her relationship with a dear friend of theirs. When that relationship ended, Chelsea and Marc’s friendship with her ended as well,” Bari Lurie said.
In 2015, Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre) accused Maxwell of helping Epstein solicit minors for him and his guests to sexually abuse. A second lawsuit appeared last December this time from an adult woman named Sarah Ransome, who claimed Maxwell and Epstein coerced her into sex. Ransome was in her twenties at the time of the alleged assault. This suit was settled. A third lawsuit appeared this past April, this time from a woman named Maria Farmer. She came forward with a sworn affidavit that Epstein sexually assaulted her in the 1990s and that Maxwell molested her 15-year-old sister.
Additionally, court documents from the Giuffre case were ordered released by the United States Court of Appeals. That case was reportedly settled for millions of dollars. These documents may shed additional light on Maxwell’s involvement with Epstein’s alleged activities, plus allegations involving rich and powerful men.
Allegations were made against Maxwell earlier than 2015:
In depositions taken in 2009 and 2010 as part of civil lawsuits against Mr. Epstein, household employees said Ms. Maxwell was a central figure in Mr. Epstein’s private life. Several said Ms. Maxwell hired, supervised, and fired household staff, while directing the visits of dozens of “massage therapists”—typically young women.
Juan Alessi, who said in one of the depositions that he served as the Palm Beach house manager from around 1992 through 2002, described a basket of sex toys in Ms. Maxwell’s bathroom closet. He said he would find them around when he cleaned up after visits from the young women.
Maxwell was not charged more than a decade ago, and she hasn’t been charged in relation to the child sex-trafficking charges most recently leveled against Epstein in the Southern District of New York. She has vehemently denied allegations that she was involved in a child sex trafficking ring.
R Kelly’s friends ‘hand police 20 videos of star having sex with underage girls’
Friends of embattled star R Kelly have reportedly given US authorities more than 20 video tapes of the singer allegedly having sex with underage girls.
The SunNews Corp Australia Network
Friends of R Kelly have handed more than 20 videos of the star having sex with underage girls to police, it has been reported.
Members of the singer’s entourage are thought to have given the footage to US federal prosecutors, reports The Sun.
Separate indictments filed in federal courts in Chicago and New York on Friday allege the R & B star, real name Robert Kelly, transported women and girls across state lines sex, kept them under his control, and then paid off and threatened victims and witnesses.

Accusations of sexual misconduct have swirled around Kelly for years, and he was already facing sexual abuse charges brought by prosecutors in the state of Illinois in February.
He denies all charges.
Gerald Griggs, representing the family of one of Kelly’s alleged victims, told TMZ that the tapes depicted multiple victims and that prosecutors had confirmed with witnesses that the girls were underage.
He added the tapes were exactly what was needed to secure indictments for sex crimes, including child pornography.
Kelly was arrested last Thursday night while walking his dog in Chicago and appeared before a judge on Friday.
He will remain in federal custody at least until Tuesday, when he’s scheduled for a detention hearing. Prosecutors want him held without bail.

The indictment filed in Chicago on Friday alleged that Kelly had arranged for a girl and her parents to travel overseas to prevent them from talking with police prior to a 2002 indictment on 21 counts of child pornography.
It also said he later instructed them to lie to a grand jury about the case.
Kelly was acquitted in 2008 of the charges, which accused him of recording a video of sex acts with the girl, who was 12 or 13 when they met in the mid-1990s.
The indictment filed on Friday in New York included charges of racketeering, kidnapping, forced labour, and the sexual exploitation of a child, allegedly committed over the course of two decades.
It said Kelly and his managers, bodyguards and other assistants picked out women and girls at concerts and other venues and arranged for them to travel to see Kelly.
They also allegedly set rules the women and girls had to follow, including not leaving their rooms even to eat or go to the bathroom without Kelly’s permission, calling the singer “Daddy”, and not looking at other men.
‘EMBOLDENED BY FAME’
Gloria Allred, representing three of the women identified in the indictment, said: “This is a very positive day for those who allege that they are victims of Mr. Kelly, and it is a day that I’m sure that Mr. Kelly hoped would never come.”
US federal prosecutors said on Friday that Kelly had been “emboldened by his fame and the lack of any real consequences”.
The charges come after a major documentary, Surviving R. Kelly, detailing allegations of sexual abuse. The six-part program was released in January of this year, featured interviews with Kelly’s alleged victims as well as fellow musicians Chance the Rapper and John Legend.
Kelly’s lawyer, Steve Greenberg, said the latest charges were “not a surprise” and that Kelly should be allowed to post bail. “It’s the worst kept secret he was going to get charged federally, and he hasn’t fled,” he said following Friday’s hearing.
He also accused the federal government of “piling on” with the new charges and described his client as unflappable despite a series of indictments in recent months. “I’m amazed he hasn’t had a complete breakdown in the face of all of this pressure,” he said.
Greenberg also questioned the testimony of victims.
Prosecutors drop charges in Kevin Spacey

It's not like this is a surprise! The kid dropped the lawsuit and stopped cooperating with the DAs. Gosh, I wonder why? Did he take a bag full of money and run?

Prosecutors in Massachusetts have dropped sexual assault charges against actor Kevin Spacey, citing “unavailability of the witness.” Spacey was facing a felony charge of indecent assault and battery.
Cape & Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe dropped the charges on Wednesday “due to the unavailability of the complaining witness.” The witness had previously alleged that Spacey plied him with alcoholic drinks and groped him three years ago at a bar, where he worked as a busboy. The witness was aged 18 at the time of the alleged incident.
The alleged victim also dropped a civil lawsuit (6th story on link) against Spacey earlier this month, with his attorney offering no explanation. In both cases, Spacey’s defence lawyers argued that the victim deleted messages on his cell phone that would have exonerated the actor.
Spacey’s career dramatically collapsed in 2017 amid a litany of sexual misconduct allegations. Actor Anthony Rapp accused the ‘House of Cards’ star of making sexual advances on him when Rapp was 14 years old. Multiple other men then came forward with similar allegations.
Spacey attempted to counter the rising tide of public anger by apologizing to Rapp, and publicly announcing that he was coming out and choosing “to live as a gay man.” Nevertheless, Netflix severed its ties with Spacey, and the once-world famous actor has largely remained a Hollywood pariah since.

A former UFC fighter has been arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a child, according to authorities.
Abel "Killa" Trujillo, 35, was arrested in Broward County, Florida, in May and extradited last month to Douglas County, Colorado, where the alleged crime is said to have occurred, Douglas County Sheriff's Office public information officer Cocha Hayden told ABC News. He is a Florida resident, she added.
He is also charged with obscenity, Hayden said, but could not elaborate on the nature of the crime.
Trujillo was previously convicted of domestic abuse in 2007 and domestic abuse assault in 2009, The Sports Network reported, citing Iowa court records.
Trujillo was released from jail on $10,000 bond on Tuesday, Hayden said. He is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing Thursday morning and has not yet entered a plea. It is unclear whether Trujillo has retained an attorney.
The lightweight's last fight was in December 2017, which he lost to John "The Bull" Makdessi, according to mixed martial arts website Sherdog.com.
Trujillo was scheduled to fight in the main event of Battlefield FC 2 in Macau on July 27, The Sports Network reported.

UK Tory MP charged with sexual assault
against two women
A Conservative MP who had been suspended from the party and then reinstated shortly before a confidence vote in PM Theresa May, has been charged with three counts of sexual assault relating to two women.
Charlie Elphicke, who represents the constituency of Dover in Kent, is alleged to have committed a first offence against one woman in 2007 and then a further two alleged offences against a second female in 2016, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Monday.
The CPS made the decision to charge Mr Elphicke after reviewing a file of evidence from the Metropolitan police.
Elphicke, 49, had the party whip removed in November 2017 and was subsequently interviewed by police under caution in March 2018, after allegations of sex offences; he vehemently denies the claims.
However, the British lawmaker was reinstated by the Conservative Party in December last year ahead of a confidence vote in PM Theresa May.
May was widely criticized for reinstating Elphicke, along with disgraced sex text Tory MP Andrew Griffiths (5th story on link), who had been suspended for five months after a series of explicit and violent texts he sent to two women were exposed. Both men voted confidence in the prime minister.
Elphicke will appear at Westminster magistrates court in London in early September.
'I'm actually a pansexual,' reveals Bella Thorne
She talks about her love life and details her difficult struggle after suffering sexual abuse as a child
By DAILYMAIL.COM Bella Thorne has confessed she's pansexual while opening up about how she's overcome bullying and years of abuse.
The actress sat down with Good Morning America for an interview which aired on Monday, and explained how she's found out what makes her happy after suffering years of turmoil in her relationships.
While she previously came out as bisexual in 2016, Bella now counts herself as pansexual.
'I'm actually a pansexual, and I didn't know that,' she said while explaining it means 'You like what you like.'
Hopefully, that doesn't include children and animals!
Pansexuality is the attraction (sexual, romantic or emotional) towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity.
The Blended star recently split with boyfriend Mod Sun, who she was dating at the same time as YouTube star Tana Mongeau. She split with Tana in February and parted ways with Mod in April. She's now dating Italian singer Benjamin Mascolo.
Bella continued, 'Doesn't have to be a girl, or a guy, or … you know, a he, a she, a this, or that. It's literally, you like personality, like you just like a being, it doesn't really matter what's going on, over there. If I just like it, I like it!'
Most recently Bella was dating both musician Mod Sun and YouTube star Tana Mongeau at the same time. She split with Tana in February and Mod in April
Bella joins numerous celebrities who identify as pansexual or refuse to label their orientation altogether, including Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monae, Sia, Amber Heard and Kesha.
The 21-year-old former Disney star talks about her struggles with self-acceptance, being bullied for her dyslexia and sexual abuse in her new book Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental disarray.
Bella says that the abuse started when she was just six years old, within the family home, and lasted until adolescence.
She believes she suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, where the victim starts to sympathize with their captor/abuser.
'I mean, when you're raised with someone. And you don't know that it's wrong,' she said. 'It's just very, like, an everyday occurrence, like no big deal.'
Thorne and Mongeau |
'I think that you have anger towards society in general. And our society clearly… this is something that is literally happening at everyone's doorstep,
'And still, nothing is ever done about it.'
'We don't look at it as a main problem, but it is, because it is shaping our society," she added. 'It is shaping our girls to be different girls than what they were supposed to be.'
Bella's struggle with dyslexia and inability to read until a later age has been the focus of her new book.
'How all this s*** that I really couldn't do, and I did it somehow,' she said. 'I couldn't read and I learned how to read from reading scripts.'
She is right about child sex abuse shaping our society. One way it is doing that is the rejection by so many children of sexual norms. Abused children often rebel against normal sexual behaviour and move into promiscuity, gay/lesbian relationships, obesity, drugs and alcohol, risky behaviour, self-harming, suicide attempts, PTSD, learning disabilities, and, probably, transgenderism. CSA is not the only causes of these types of behaviour, but, I am positive, that it contributes significantly.
Dagestan MMA fighter turned crime boss loses eye after being arrested for alleged rape of minor
Abdul Zakharov was detained this past week by law enforcement officers in Ussuriysk, RU
By Karim Zidan@ZidanSports A former MMA fighter turned leader of a local Dagestani organized crime group was detained in Ussuriysk on suspicion of sexual involvement with a 13-year-old girl.
Abdul Zakharov — known by his nom de guerre, Rusik — was detained by operatives of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation of Russia’s Ministry fo Internal Affairs in the Primorye region by order of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
According to reports and video footage, the police officers who detained Abdul Zakharov for his latest alleged crime did so in brutal fashion, attacking him in broad daylight until he was unconscious. As a result, Rusik was reportedly hospitalized with a head injury and subsequently lost an eye. Rusik’s lawyer claimed that his client only resisted because he assumed the officers dressed in civilian clothing were actually criminals trying to “hunt him down.” He also claimed that they attempted to force Abdul Zakharov to confess to crimes he never committed.
On the other hand, the police officers stated in their defence that they expected Abdul Zakharov to attempt to resist arrest, which is why they acted with such violence. A criminal case against the police officers has been initiated in Ussuriysk.
Abdul Zakharov, a former MMA fighter who competed in the Vladivostok Pankration Championships alongside the likes of Andrey Koreshkov in 2011, is believed to be a part of a criminal network comprised of policemen and high-ranking employees of the Federal Security Service.
