She arrived in America at 15, a wide-eyed model from Slovakia—sponsored by Jeffrey Epstein himself—only to become his frequent co-pilot on the infamous “Lolita Express” and, according to victims, something far darker. Nadia Marcinkova (now Marcinko) didn’t just fly the planes; accusers say she actively participated in the sexual abuse, recruited young girls, and joined in the exploitation alongside Epstein.
Listed as a potential co-conspirator in his controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement, she—like others in his inner circle—escaped charges and walked away untouched. Was she a victim turned enabler, or a willing architect of the horror? Survivors describe her as both predator and prisoner in Epstein’s twisted world.
Yet years later, she vanished from public view—leaving the truth still buried in shadows.
Nadia Marcinkova, also known as Nadia Marcinko or Nada Marcinková, arrived in the United States at age 15 from Slovakia, reportedly sponsored by Jeffrey Epstein on an O-1 visa as a promising young model. What began as an opportunity in the fashion world quickly evolved into something far more sinister. She became a frequent passenger—and pilot—on Epstein’s private Boeing 727, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” and emerged as one of the most enigmatic figures in his inner circle.
Multiple victims have accused Marcinkova of actively participating in Epstein’s sexual exploitation network. According to court filings, depositions, and survivor accounts, she not only flew the planes but allegedly engaged in sexual acts with Epstein and underage girls, recruited young women, and joined in the abuse. Some described her as Epstein’s “sex slave” who was later elevated to a recruiter and participant role, blurring the line between victim and enabler. Witnesses in related cases, including Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial, portrayed her as someone who helped sustain the operation by normalizing the exploitation and assisting in grooming efforts. Her aviation skills—earning her pilot and flight instructor certifications—allowed her to accompany Epstein on numerous trips, including to his private island and other locations tied to the allegations.
In the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) negotiated in Florida, Epstein secured immunity for himself and four named potential co-conspirators, along with any unnamed “potential co-conspirators.” Marcinkova was widely understood to fall under this broad protection, shielding her from federal charges related to the sex-trafficking activities investigated at the time. The deal, criticized as excessively lenient and influenced by Epstein’s connections, allowed her and others like Sarah Kellen to avoid prosecution despite substantial evidence gathered by investigators.
After Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, and Maxwell’s conviction for sex trafficking, renewed attention fell on figures like Marcinkova. She was deposed in civil cases but frequently invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, declining to answer questions about her involvement. Unlike Maxwell, she faced no criminal indictment. By the early 2010s, she had legally changed her name to Nadia Marcinko, pursued a career in aviation, and became CEO of Aviloop, a company focused on flight simulation and training, with ties to inventor Dean Kamen.
In recent years, Marcinkova has largely disappeared from public view. Reports from 2024 onward noted her absence from her Upper East Side residence in New York following document unsealing waves, including batches in late 2025. Speculation about her whereabouts persists, with some sources suggesting she has chosen privacy or relocated, while others question if she remains connected to Epstein-linked properties or networks. No new charges have been brought against her, and she has not publicly addressed the allegations in detail.
The case of Nadia Marcinkova underscores the complexities of Epstein’s operation: the potential for victims to become complicit under coercion, the protective legal mechanisms that shielded associates, and the enduring lack of full accountability for many involved. Survivors continue to seek justice and transparency, carrying the weight of their experiences while Marcinkova remains a figure shrouded in ambiguity—neither fully prosecuted nor fully exonerated.
