Jeffrey Epstein list: New batch of documents unsealed revealing more associates

Prince Andrew has been accused of participating in an “underage orgy” on convicted sex offender Jefferey Epstein’s private island, according to newly unsealed court documents.

The campaign group Republic has called for the Duke of York to be investigated by police after allegations of sexual assault resurfaced in the unsealed court records.

The allegations have previously been reported in the media and Andrew has strenuously denied any wrongdoing.

The court document alleges an underage girl – identified only as “Jane Doe 3” – was “forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she was a minor in three separate geographical locations.”

The court filing also claims Mr Epstein told the girl to “give the Prince whatever he demanded.”

It alleges Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been jailed for sex trafficking young girls, “facilitated Prince Andrew’s acts of sexual abuse by acting as a ‘madame’ for Epstein”.

Asked if police should investigate, labour leader Keir Starmer said: “Wherever there’s a complaint made, it’s inevitable that it should be looked at. We have to start with the victims here, and look at what allegations have been made.”

It was a place where Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell lured their victims.

But, soon Little St James and and Great St. James will be welcoming guests to a luxury, five-star paradise.

The Independent’s Rachel Sharp reports:

Former president Bill Clinton faces renewed public scrutiny after being identified multiple times in the newly unsealed court documents detailing the associates of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton’s name was mentioned 83 times in the first two batches of documents, though the number is now well over 100 also.

The second batch included evidence that claimed the former president had ridden in Epstein’s private helicopter with Maxwell and Ms Giuffre and attempted to threaten Vanity Fair into not writing about Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking.

In one of the latest batches of ducments, released on Friday, his wife Hillary Clinton was also named as a “specific witness”. There are no allegations of illegal activity against either.

Donald Trump occasionally came to Jeffrey Epstein’s house for dinner, but did not sit at the table, instead dining in the kitchen with one of the disgraced financier’s former employees, newly unsealed documents claim.

The former president, who had a residence in Palm Beach near to Epstein’s, would visit for meals but did not have massages there because he “had his own spa”, according to Epstein employee Juan Alessi.

Asked if the former president ever started at Epstein’s residence in Palm Beach, Mr Alessi replied: “No, never… He would come, have dinner. He never sat at the table. He [would] eat with me in the kitchen.

When asked if Mr Trump ever had a massage at the house, Mr Alessi replied: “No. Because he’s got his own spa.”

Convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has reacted to the long-anticipated release of a trove of court documents naming several of the dead paedophile’s associates.

Maxwell’s attorneys Arthur Aidala and Diana Fabi Samson released a statement on Wednesday night, after the filings began to be unsealed, in which she continued to insist her innocence and vowed to plough ahead with her appeal.

“Ghislaine Maxwell took no position on the Court’s recent decision to unseal documents in Giuffre v. Maxwell as these disclosures have no bearing on her or her pending appeal,” they said in the statement, shared with The Messenger.

“Ghislaine’s focus is on the upcoming appellate argument asking for her entire case to dismissed. She is confident that she will obtain justice in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

“She has consistently and vehemently maintained her innocence.”

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is also named in the documents released on Friday – having reportedly visited Epstein’s New York mansion with her then-husband, Prince Andrew.

Juan Alessi, who worked at Epstein’s house from 1991 or 1992 until 2002, said that he also saw beauty pageant queens and other “famous people.”

Epstein’s housekeeperJuan Alessi testified in a deposition that Trump visited Epstein’s Palm Beach home regularly for dinner, but would never get massages there (“because he’s got his own spa.”)

Mr never stayed at Epstein’s home.

Alan Dershowitz came “pretty often… at least four or five times a year” and stayed for “two, three days”.

Mr Alessi said Mr Dershowitz would often have massages.

Prince Andrew was a regular visitor, and would have “daily massages,” Mr Alessi claimed.

Mr Dershowitz and Prince Andrew have vehemently denied any allegations of wrongdoing.

One of the claims that Maxwell’s attorneys contested was in a 2015 Daily Mail Article in which Virginia Giuffre was quoted saying: “I flew to the Caribbean with Jeffrey and then Ghislaine Maxwell went to pick up Bill in a huge black helicopter that Jeffrey had bought her.”

Maxwell denied ever flying the former president on her helicopter. She admitted that she was present in a plane ride with Mr Clinton and Mr Epstein.

The newly-released legal documents linked to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein name several film stars, including Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz.

However, denials of any personal involvement with the billionaire financier, who socialised with royalty and celebrities, have been issued by all three actors.

Their names are only mentioned once in the expansive documents so far released, spanning hundreds of pages, during a segment in which a witness denies ever meeting the stars.
