WORLD Epstein ‘had sex tapes of Clinton and Andrew’

Sex tapes featuring Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Sir Richard Branson were recorded by pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, a British aristocrat has claimed.

Sarah Ransome made the extraordinary allegations in emails written in 2016 and unsealed by a New York court on Monday (Tuesday AEDT).

Ms Ransome also claimed Epstein would film the highprofile men having sex with her “friend”, who also allegedly revealed Donald Trump’s sexual preferences.

All men have vehemently denied any allegations of wrongdoing, and Ms Ransome subsequently retracted the shock claims made in 2016 emails to columnist Maureen Callahan and published in the unsealed documents.

Epstein, Ms Ransome alleged, “frustratingly” kept his identity out of any of the footage recorded at his New York mansion because “he was clever like that”.

“Thank God (my friend] managed to get a hold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes, which clearly identify the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson having sexual intercourse with her,” she said in the emails, first published by The Sun.

“I eventually managed to persuade her to send me some of the footage which she kept, implicating all three men.

“I have backed up the footage on several USB sticks and have securely sent them to various different locations throughout Europe.”

Ms Ransome, now in her 30s, claims she was 22 when she was forced to have sex.

In other emails, she details the sexual tastes of Mr Trump in significant detail, saying he “definitely seemed to have a thing” for her friend.

“She told me how he kept going on about how he liked her ‘pert nipples’,” she wrote about her friend. “I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffrey’s NY mansion on regular occasions.”

Ms Ransome later walked back many of the claims. “I have spoken to my family at some length … and I would like to retract everything I have said to you and walk away from this,” she wrote.

In a statement, Sir Richard said Ms Ransome admitted in a 2019 New Yorker report that she had “invented” the tape.

“We can confirm that Sarah Ransome’s claims are baseless and unfounded,” the statement reads.

It comes as new photos that appeared to show young girls on Epstein’s island were published in the latest tranche of documents released by the court. The photos, which were not part of the court proceedings, were included in a filing as part of testimony that Ghislaine Maxwell, referred to as “Mamma bear” was on Epstein’s island during a time she had testified being “hardly around”.

Ms Ransome alleged that “massage” was used as a code word for sex, according to the transcript of her deposition.

“So as soon as you stop having sex with Jeffrey and his friends … you’re out,” she said.
