When the British socialite and media heiress Ghislaine Maxwell arrived in New York City in 1991, she was eager to make new friends, and she succeeded in making some of the best kind, such as John F Kennedy Jr, the son of the late president.

The network includes not only Prince Andrew, an old Maxwell friend who has denied allegations that Epstein and Maxwell supplied him with underage girls. It also includes former passengers onboard Epstein’s private plane, dubbed the “Lolita Express” for allegations that Epstein used the plane to abuse underage girls as they flew off to parties and exotic locations.

Former president Bill Clinton last year admitted taking four trips aboard the plane in 2002 and 2003, saying he was embarked on official Clinton Foundation business and denying wrongdoing. A book published earlier this year linked Bill Clinton and Maxwell romantically. Maxwell attended the president’s daughter Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding.

The web of friends woven by Epstein with Maxwell’s help included Lawrence Summer, the former Harvard president; Les Wexner, the CEO of L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret; and Trump himself, who appears with Melania Trump (then Knauss), Epstein and Maxwell in a cozy photo from a 2000 party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Even after Epstein’s 2008 arrest, Maxwell kept up a social life. She was photographed with Elon Musk at a 2014 Vanity Fair Oscar Party and elsewhere has been pictured with a New York society who’s who: Arianna Huffington, Martha Stewart, Lloyd C Blankfein, Michael Bloomberg, Tamara Mellon. Prince Andrew hosted her at Buckingham palace last summer.
