| JEFFREY EPSTEIN & PRINCE ANDREW |
Jeffrey Epstein — who admitted to soliciting sex with a minor in a separate case in 2008 — allegedly told the 17-year-old girl to “give the prince whatever he demanded,” the lawsuit states.
The woman, dubbed Jane Doe in court papers, claims Epstein loaned her to Prince Andrew for wild sex — including “an orgy with numerous other under-aged girls” between 1999 and 2002, states the lawsuit, filed in Southern District of Florida Court on Dec. 30.
“[Epstein] sexually trafficked the then-minor Jane Doe, making her available for sex to politically connected and financially powerful people,” the lawsuit states.
“Epstein’s purposes in ‘lending’ Jane Doe (along with other young girls) to such powerful people were to ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political, and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information,” according to the suit.
The underage sex fests were held on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, at a London apartment and a secret New York location, according to the suit.
Epstein also forced the girl, who was 15 when he met her, into sex on his private jet and at his posh New York City home, the lawsuit states.
Jane Doe claims in the lawsuit that she met the multimillionaire perv through Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of the late media mogul Robert Maxwell, who was a friend of Epstein.
“Maxwell had direct connections to other powerful individuals with whom she could connect Epstein. For instance, one such powerful individual Epstein forced Jane Doe to have sexual relations with was a member of the British royal family, Prince Andrew (aka Duke of York),” the suit states.
Epstein paid for sex with underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion for years, federal officials claimed in 2006.
In 2008, he pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Prince Andrew is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
“This relates to long-running and ongoing civil proceedings in the United States to which the Duke of York is not a party,” Buckingham Palace told the UK Guardian.
“As such we would not comment in detail. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.”
Epstein could not be reached immediately on Friday for comment. His lawyer, Chester Brewer, also did not return calls.
But Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer who has advised him in past cases — and who is also named in the lawsuit — called the claim bogus.
“It is a totally fabricated charge in every possible way … It just never happened,” he said.
