'Bill Clinton likes them young', claimed Epstein, unsealed court files show

Deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's files were unsealed on Wednesday (Jan 3), which also carry the name of former US president Bill Clinton. While the papers don't mention any wrongdoing on his part, they do talk about alleged claims made by Epstein that Clinton likes “young girls”.

A judge in New York started the process of unsealing court documents which have been connected to Epstein and threw light on some prominent names related to the case as well as some previously undisclosed details.

The unsealed documents, which included almost 1,000 pages of depositions and statements, name various celebrities and political personalities, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

The first section of unsealed documents, which was released on Wednesday (Jan 3), was part of the huge set of papers which included nearly 200 names, including Epstein's accusers to influential personalities in business and politics.

Bill Clinton emerged as one of the biggest names among the notable figures named in the unsealed documents.

Clintonhad allegedly flown on a private plane owned by Epstein. Johanna Sjoberg, an Epstein accuser, in her 2016 deposition recounted Epstein as saying that "Clinton likes them young" while referring toyoung girls.

'Strolling with beautiful girls in both arms': How Giuffre described Clinton

Accuser Virginia Giuffre, whose statements have also been recorded in the court files, had earlier in a memoir's manuscript described Clinton as the man who walked “into the night with a beautiful woman on each arm” while visiting Epstein's “Pedophile Island.”

“Strolling into the darkness with two beautiful girls around either arm, Bill seemed content to retire for the evening,” wrote Giuffrein a manuscript cited by the Daily Mail.

Giuffre further wrote that Clinton, at the dinner, sat next to “two lovely girls” who were visiting from New York and said that since Hillary was not present, he could let his “provocative cheeky side” come out.

“Teasing the girls on either side of him with playful pokes and brassy comments, there was no modesty between any of them,” said Giuffre in the manuscript.
