At 21, Chauntae Davies stepped onto Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous private jet—the “Lolita Express”—expecting a simple massage job, only to endure repeated rape and assault that left her trapped in fear, confusion, and silence for years. In late 2001, while training as a masseuse in Los Angeles, Chauntae treated Ghislaine Maxwell at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons. Maxwell, presenting herself as supportive, introduced her to Epstein and offered paid work flying to Palm Beach for “massages.” What followed was grooming and exploitation: Epstein masturbated in front of her during early encounters, then escalated to sexual abuse. Dangling promises of education, travel, and career help—including sending her to culinary school—Epstein kept her compliant. Chauntae worked as both masseuse and occasional air hostess on the Boeing 727, ferrying Epstein and his powerful associates. She described the abuse as disguised with “education” and trips, including a 2002 humanitarian flight to Africa with former President Bill Clinton, where she gave him a neck massage during a refueling stop in Portugal. Epstein bragged about connections to figures like Trump, using them to build clout and instill powerlessness in victims.
For years, Chauntae remained silent, her life derailed by trauma affecting her health, family, emotions, and opportunities. The confusion stemmed from Maxwell’s initial “caring” demeanor and Epstein’s mix of abuse with apparent generosity. She escaped his direct control but carried the weight alone until Epstein’s 2019 arrest prompted her to speak publicly. In August 2019, she testified at a New York bail hearing, detailing the rape and how Epstein surrounded himself with the world’s most powerful leaders, making victims feel powerless. She appeared alongside other survivors in court statements and interviews, including on NPR and CBS This Morning, naming herself as a victim for the first time and rejecting Epstein’s death as suicide, believing his arrogance would have led him to “disappear” instead.
Today, Chauntae is a devoted mother, finding deep joy in raising her child and building a life far from the shadows of that plane and those powerful connections. She has spoken of the profound impact on her well-being and family, yet she has rebuilt in relative privacy, embracing motherhood as a source of healing and purpose.
Yet Chauntae remains a relentless advocate, pushing for truth, accountability, and justice in the Epstein saga. In September 2025, she joined survivors at a Capitol Hill press conference, demanding full release of Epstein files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She described decades of pain from betrayal by Epstein, Maxwell, enablers, and a government that ignored warnings. “We cannot heal without justice,” she declared, emphasizing the need to confront the past to protect the future. Her voice has helped amplify calls for transparency amid ongoing file releases and survivor-led efforts to compile implicated names confidentially.
With lingering questions about full exposure—of unprosecuted enablers, institutional failures, and the complete network—her fight continues. Chauntae’s journey proves survival is just the beginning: from trapped victim on a jet of horrors to empowered mother and advocate refusing silence. Her resolve underscores that true healing and justice demand persistent truth-telling, ensuring no more victims stay hidden and no enablers escape scrutiny.
