GHISLAINE’S TOPLESS TEEN PHOTO COLLECTION

- By SUZIE SHELDON news@sundayspor­t.co.uk

GHISLAINE Maxwell kept an album on her desk full of photograph­s of topless and nude young girls that she had taken, it is alleged.

One of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s former servants said he saw Maxwell “constantly taking photograph­s” of scantily-clad girls at the tycoon’s mansion in Florida.

Maxwell, 58, is in jail awaiting trial on multiple counts of procuring girls as young as 14 for Epstein to abuse and allegedly abusing some of the girls herself. She denies all charges. In papers released by a judge relating to a settled defamation case between Maxwell and Virginia Roberts, who claims she was coerced into having sex with Prince Andrew, ex-butler John Alessi, 70, claims Maxwell took pictures of young girls as a hobby.

He said: “She had an album full of photograph­s of people, young girls... some girls were topless, taking the sun.

Disgraced

“She went out and took pictures in the pool because later I would see them at the desk or at the house and nude, 99.9 per cent of the time they were topless.”

Epstein killed himself in jail after being arrested on sex charges.

Maxwell insisted she only took “benign” photograph­s.

Prince Andrew, who has denied all claims of wrongdoing, has been branded “outrageous” by the lawyer representi­ng six victims of the disgraced financier.

Attorney Lisa Bloom called on the Duke of York to submit to an interview with the FBI.

She stated: “How outrageous that it’s been a year since Prince Andrew publicly promised to co-operate with law enforcemen­t investigat­ing all those who enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual assaults on hundreds of women and girls.

“He simply has not kept that promise.

“Meanwhile, the six victims I represent struggle to repair their lives.

“It is never too late to do the right thing.”
