Andrew must talk to FBI, or maybe he has something to hide...
Epstein aide ends decades of silence Says he witnessed naked pool parties
behind closed doors. I never saw him kissing anybody or patting anybody.
“He was the only person who ever left my wife and I a tip when he left. It was 140 bucks. It was so nice – Epstein did not allow anybody to tip us”
Mr Alessi, who has not been paid and did not ask for money for his interview, said the confidentiality agreement he signed when he quit died when his former employer did.
He opened up about his 11 years with Epstein and his former girlfriend Maxwell. He said the British socialite, now 58, made him drive as she trawled the streets of Palm Beach looking for young girls to massage Epstein.
Describing the daughter of shamed media tycoon Robert Maxwell as “the devil” he said: “She absolutely knew what Epstein was doing.” In a 2017 lawsuit Maxwell, also a pal of the
Duke, was called the “highest-ranking employee” of Epstein’s alleged trafficking enterprise and is alleged in court of acting as his “madam”.
One alleged victim said she showed her “the proper way” to give Epstein oral sex and Maxwell offered her a “step-by-step” lesson, court files say.
She has also been accused of taking part in alleged abuse, including group sex with Epstein and Giuffre, but she has always denied any wrongdoing.
One of Mr Alessi’s tasks was to clean sex toys used by Epstein and Maxwell. “I’d find sex toys in her sink. I took it as a perversion, not an abuse,” he said. “I used to put my gloves on and pick it up and wash it. She had a bathroom. The toys would be in there.
“The FBI needs to talk to Ghislaine. She knows more than anyone. Whole days she spent recruiting girls. I was driving. I wish I had known what for. I would stop at a massage parlour. She would go in, take business cards. One time she had me drive to Donald Trump’s home Mar-a-lago looking for girls, and that is when she found Virginia.”
He said he had to pay Virginia and other girls: “I used to go to the bank, withdraw $10,000. I’d pay them out of petty cash and fill out a receipt. I wish I’d known what they were really being paid for. He swore them to secrecy, threatened them if they ever told.”
Mr Alessi revealed he was secretly visited by Virginia several months ago and they had a tearful reunion. He said: “She told me ‘John, they abused me the first night.’ I said ‘Virginia why didn’t you come down and yell? I would have gone that moment to the police’. She was such an innocent little girl when we first met.
“She told me many things. I believe her. She was too frightened to speak at the time. As far as I know, she was having a massage. I am a father. I would have punched the s*** out of this guy.”
Mr Alessi said he once “challenged” the pervert: “I said ‘Jeffrey, you have to take it easy on these girls. One of them is going to get you in trouble’. He just replied ‘they only want money’.”
Mr Alessi broke his silence to end his “nightmare”. He said: “It was a relief when he died because he was a danger. He was a coward. He could not confront what was coming. I was afraid of him. Ghislaine should face justice. I hope they get her.
“I hope Prince Andrew, as a father himself, does the right thing too.”
This week a Netflix documentary alleged Andrew groped Giuffre before “grinding” himself against her on Epstein’s Caribbean isle. A witness claims he saw Andrew kiss the then 17-year-old and grab her bottom.
Prince Andrew has strongly denied any wrongdoing and maintains he cannot recall ever meeting Giuffre.
