Bill Clinton's Name Found 21 Times In Sex Offender's Phone book During Prince-Andrew Probe

Former President Bill Clinton seems to have been familiar with Jeffrey Epstein, the fundraiser who was jailed for having sex with underage girls.

Clinton's name was listed in the man's phone book 21 times, reveals a new civil lawsuit filed against Jeffrey Epstein, according to rt.com.

Virginia Roberts, now 30 years, was used as a "sex slave" by the billionaire hedge fund manager Epstein. He forced her to service his business contacts, including Prince Andrew.

The lawsuit says that Clinton took many trips between 2002 to 2005 to Epstein's private Caribbean island, where he had stashed a number of underage girls.

In 2005, Clinton cut off his relations with Epstein once the rumors over his behavior came up, for which Epstein was arrested. Court documents show a number of phone numbers that go back to Clinton and his adviser Doug Band.

Epstein's list of celebrities include the "Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, Donald Trump's ex-wife Ivana and their daughter Ivanka" and a number of women listed under "massage" in the book that has been named "holy grail" by a former employee, according to dailymail.

However, there is nothing to show that Clinton has any connections with Epstein's crime or that he was involved in the illegal activity in any way.

When RT questioned Dennis Hof, who owns the Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada and also knows Clinton, whether Clinton was not aware of Epstein's activities, Hof said: "I don't believe it's possible. It's amazing this happened and came to light. I don't think Bill Clinton would ever want to be involved with any underage girl, but the fact that it is happening in front of his eyes - and the Secret Service guys didn't do anything about it - is shocking."

The new complaint is now trying to expand the lawsuit on Epstein and the advocates for Virginia Roberts are thinking of subpoenaing Clinton, as he may give information on Epstein.

It was in 2005 that the allegations came to light. The Palm Beach police acted when the parents of a 14-year-old girl complained that Epstein had violated the child as well as other teenage girls. They were asked to massage him and were each paid $200 or more.

Initially, Epstein tried to discredit the girls, while the local district attorney and the Justice Department did not want to pursue it. But finally, Epstein was convicted and imprisoned for 18 months, while his name was added to the list of registered sex offenders. He also had to settle dozens of lawsuits filed by underage girls. At least seven of them were paid $1 million each.

Clinton was never contacted for giving any statement on it. But lawyers probed Epstein's computerized phone directory, and noted that there were many "e-mail addresses for Clinton along with 21 phone numbers for him, including those for his assistant (Doug Band)," as mentioned in the court filing.

"I give Bill Clinton a little bit of a pass," Hof said, "because [Epstein] had other parties after this all happened, and who went to them? [George] Stephanopoulos, Katie Couric, Woody Allen - which is not a good sign, I guess - [and] Chelsea Handler. So it could be possible that Clinton did not know about this, but it's hard to believe."
