Bombshell new Jeffrey Epstein documents claim Bill Clinton 'likes them young,' as the former president and other big names once again find themselves embroiled in the appalling sex scandal. 

One May 2016 document released Wednesday night - a request for permission from the judge to take more depositions - includes detail of testimony already taken by Johanna Sjoberg, who was recruited at the age of 20 to work as a massage therapist. 

Sjoberg was recruited on a college campus, had no massage training, and said she was forced to perform sex acts on Epstein.

Sjoberg told the lawyers in 2016 that Epstein told her 'Clinton likes them young, referring to girls'. 

Clinton has long sought to play down his association with Epstein, but admitted traveling on his private plane. He is mentioned 50 times in the newly-released documents, according to an analysis by Axios. 

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Clinton told CNN that he knew nothing of Epstein's 'terrible crimes' during their friendship, adding that it has 'been nearly 20 years since Clinton last had contact with Epstein.'

Wednesday's documents trove saw Ghislaine Maxwell deny Clinton had ever visited Epstein's Little St James private island in the Caribbean - although she conceded he had traveled on Epstein's plane. 

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, was questioned under oath about her relationship with Epstein and his associates. The testimony was part of a 2015 defamation case filed by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.
