David Rodgers was one of Jeffrey Epstein's core pilots from the 1990s through the mid-2000s, logging hundreds of flights. His flight logs became key evidence documenting movements of Epstein, his staff, high-profile associates, and young women in the trafficking network.
Rodgers worked alongside Larry Visoski piloting the Boeing 727 (N908JE, "Lolita Express") and Gulfstream (N909JE). He maintained detailed passenger manifests and flight records. Unlike some staff, Rodgers cooperated with authorities and provided his flight logs—crucial evidence for investigations.
Rodgers' logs documented thousands of passengers over a decade, including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous young women including Virginia Giuffre.
The logs revealed frequent trips between Palm Beach, New York, St. Thomas, Paris, and London, with timing that aligned with survivor testimony. They provided objective records corroborating survivor accounts of international trafficking. The logs were entered in Giuffre v. Maxwell (2009), released in 2015, and reexamined after Epstein's July 2019 arrest.
Both Larry Visoski and David Rodgers transported minor victims to different locations, providing discreet access to minor girls for Epstein's sexual gratification.
The defendant organized these individuals by directing Virginia to show Carolyn what to do, scheduling Carolyn's appointments, directing Alessi, and instructing both pilots. (PSR ¶¶ 24, 62, 66).
The defendant supervised Epstein's staff for years, running an extensive operation satisfying the definition of an operation in which the defendant served as an organizer.
