   > How about those Clintons?  Hillary defends pedophiles and Bill   
   rapes children.   
      
   A South African businesswoman who was repeatedly raped by Jeffrey   
   Epstein says former President Bill Clinton gave the late paedophile   
   “credibility”.   
      
   Juliette Bryant told The Daily Beast she met Epstein in Capetown in   
   2002 aged 20 after being lured into his orbit by a woman who   
   promised to help with her modelling career.   
      
   She was invited to dinner with Epstein, Mr Clinton and actors Kevin   
   Spacey and Chris Tucker, the news site reported.   
      
   “That’s what gave Epstein credibility,” Ms Bryant said.   
      
   “The fact that he was with Clinton.”   
      
   She recalled that as she arrived at the restaurant, the former   
   president stood and shook her hand, holding on to her as he began   
   speaking to another dinner guest.   
      
   “He just kept holding onto my hand,” Ms Bryant said.   
      
   “It was like a dream. It was so bizarre.”   
      
   The Independent has approached the Clinton Foundation for comment.   
      
   In a statement released in 2019, his spokesman Angel Ureña said the   
   former president knew nothing about Epstein’s “terrible crimes”.   
      
   Ms Bryant, who has also shared her experiences for a new BBC   
   documentary House of Maxwell, said she saw Mr Clinton again the next   
   day after being invited to show her modeling portfolio to Epstein.   
      
   She was invited to join Epstein on his private jet, the Lolita   
   Express, as he and Clinton flew across Africa on a humanitarian   
   tour.   
      
   Ms Bryant said she flew on to the United States with Epstein, and   
   was taken to his private island in the US Virgin Islands where she   
   says she was repeatedly raped.   
      
   The abuse continued at Epstein’s homes in Palm Beach and elsewhere   
   until 2004, she said.   
      
   Ms Bryant said she had decided to speak up to help victims of sex   
   trafficking and in the hope others would be held accountable.   
      
   “I was completely conned,” Ms Bryant said.   
      
   “I wouldn’t go with some random man to the Caribbean. He seemed   
   legitimate. Clinton gave him credibility.”   
      
   Mr Clinton’s only public statement about Epstein came after the late   
   paedophile was arrested on sex trafficking charges in 2019.   
      
   “President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey   
   Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with   
   which he has been recently charged in New York,” his spokesman Mr   
   Ureña said.   
      
   The statement went on to detail several trips Mr Clinton went on   
   with Epstein in the early 2000s.   
      
      
   Staff, supporters of the foundation and Mr Clinton’s Secret Service   
   detail travelled with them, the statement said.   
      
   Epstein died at a New York prison in 2019 aged 66 while awaiting   
   trial on sex-trafficking charges. His death was ruled suicide by the   
   medical examiner.
