Who Is Chauntae Davies?
Chauntae Davies was an American masseuse and aspiring actress who began working for Jeffrey Epstein in 2001, when she was 23 years old. Unlike most victims who were recruited as teenagers, Davies was an adult when she entered Epstein’s employment — a fact that complicates simple narratives but does not diminish the abuse she alleges occurred.
Recruitment and Employment
Davies was recruited as a licensed massage therapist for Epstein’s private jet and properties. She worked as:
- Flight attendant on the Lolita Express
- Masseuse at Epstein’s various properties
- In a quasi-personal assistant role during travels
Her account offers unique detail on the day-to-day operation of Epstein’s network, particularly aboard his aircraft.
Documented Travels
Davies was present on numerous documented flights including travels with:
- Bill Clinton (on humanitarian missions in Africa)
- Various political and public figures
She has been clear that the Clinton flights she witnessed were not trafficking-related — Clinton traveled with a security detail and the nature of those trips was Clinton’s AIDS/HIV charity work.
Her Account of Abuse
Davies has stated that Epstein sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions:
- She felt unable to refuse due to power dynamics and financial dependency
- She describes a pattern of coercion that constituted abuse even though she was an adult
- She continued working for Epstein for approximately 3-4 years, feeling trapped
The Netflix Documentary
Davies is one of the most prominent voices in the Netflix documentary “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” (2020), where she provided extended testimony about her experiences. The documentary brought her story to a global audience.
Advocacy
After the documentary, Davies became a public advocate for:
- Adult trafficking survivors (not only minors)
- Better legal protections for individuals coerced through financial dependency
- Accountability for those who transported, hosted, and protected trafficking victims
