TRAVELLED TO MEET ‘SEX SLAVE’
Maxwell isn’t done yet, says old associate
Maxwell’s Belgravia home, Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and at an orgy on the tycoon’s Caribbean island. Her claims were struck out of the civil case by Florida judge Kenneth Marra.
He ruled: “The factual details regarding with whom and where the Jane Does engaged in sexual activities are immaterial and impertinent to this central claim (i.e., that they were known victims of Mr Epstein and the Government owed them CVRA duties), especially considering that these details involve non-parties who are not related to the respondent
Government. These unnecessary details shall be stricken.”
In other claims reported yesterday, Ms Giuffre alleges Andrew had “an orgy with numerous other under-aged girls” at Epstein’s Caribbean home – and Maxwell had “continuous” sex with girls and women.
Maxwell was arrested in New Hampshire last month on suspicion of grooming and abusing three girls under the age of 18. She is also accused of perjury and faces up to 35 years if convicted. She has pleaded not guilty and is due for trial in New York in July 2021.
Andrew and his legal team have vehemently denied Ms Giuffre’s claims. A picture shows them together but the Prince said in his Newsnight appearance that he does not recall ever meeting her. Epstein, 66, killed
AN ex-associate of Ghislaine Maxwell has said she suspects the socialite still “has a trick or two up her sleeve yet”.
Helen Kirwan-Taylor, a journalist and former TV producer who was in Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous black contacts book, said Maxwell ingratiated herself into New
York high society after being given Prince Andrew’s stamp of approval and adopting
Epstein as her “patron”.
Writing for the Daily
Telegraph, she said: “Ghislaine was like a sniffer dog: sharp, alert and with a nose that could detect any useful information.
“I remember her as being quick-witted, attention-seeking and the darling of her set.
“She appeared at every party along with half a dozen of the then ‘It girls’ whose main occupation seemed to be finding a wealthy man with a house.”
Ms Kirwan-Taylor said Maxwell’s close female friends were career-minded and independent and many worked in the City.
She added that her entry in Epstein’s “little black book” was due to links in the 1980s.
She said: “We even have the honour of double entries: one for my husband and me and the other for my father-in-law, who was also friendly with Ghislaine back in the days when that was an acceptable thing to be.
“Ghislaine was in my husband’s circle at Oxford.
“Many of our friends were in her inner set. I suspect that Ghislaine, raised by one fraudster and romantically entangled with another, has a trick or two up her sleeve yet.” himself in jail last year while awaiting sex-trafficking charges. Andrew was pictured walking with the tycoon in New York’s Central Park in 2010, just months after the paedophile was released from prison for procuring a minor for prostitution.
Andrew told Newsnight: “I went there with the sole purpose of saying to him that because he had been convicted, it was inappropriate for us to be seen together.”
The Duke’s spokesperson declined to comment yesterday. But the new claim was met with shock by his friends. One said: “The Zorro account is a serious inconsistency. Ms Giuffre’s lawyers have always claimed three alleged encounters. And now this fourth allegation. How so? Why has this never been raised before?
“And where is the evidence? I’d suggest you put these questions to her lawyers, not to the Duke.”
