THE MAXWELL FILES
Victim: ‘Epstein used me as sex slave to blackmail the powerful’
Jeffrey Epstein forced his sex slaves to bed powerful pals including Prince Andrew to try to extract favors from them — and gather potential “blackmail” material, newly released court documents allege.
The explosive allegations were revealed in a trove of documents released late Thursday in connection with a since-settled defamation case that Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre had brought against the dead pedophile’s confidante Ghislaine Maxwell.
The files also shed new light on Epstein and Maxwell’s alleged life of “constant” orgies and underage girls.
The court papers, filed by Giuffre’s lawyer in 2015, allege that the financier thought that by “lending” out his victims to influential friends, he could “ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information.”
“One such powerful individual Epstein forced Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with was a member of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew,” the documents allege.
“Epstein instructed Jane Doe #3 that she was to give the prince whatever he demanded and required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse.”
Jane Doe #3 is identified in other court papers on the same case as Giuffre.
The documents say the victim was forced into sex with the Duke of York starting when she was 17, and on three occasions — in London, New York and on Epstein’s private island during an orgy with other young girls.
The royal has vigorously denied having sex with Giuffre or any other wrongdoing.
Epstein also allegedly funneled his victims to “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders,” the documents claim.
The papers were part of an effort by Epstein accusers to join a lawsuit against the government claiming their rights as victims were violated when he was given a secret sweetheart plea deal in 2007 that spared him charges of sex with minors.
Also among the documents released late Thursday was Giuffre’s 2016 deposition in her defamation case in which she listed politically and financially powerful people she claimed she was told to have sex with.
Among them were another prince — whose name she couldn’t recall — the owner of a hotel chain, renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.

Epstein, 66, died in a lower Manhattan jail last year awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Maxwell was busted early last month on sex-trafficking and related charges and is awaiting trial in a Brooklyn jail.
In her 2016 testimony, Giuffre said Maxwell and Epstein were “joined at the hip.”
She alleged that the pair used Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St. James Island, to host “constant” orgies, with Maxwell having “continuous” sex with women and girls, some who Giuffre said appeared to be as young as 15.
“There’s just a blur of so many girls,” Giuffre said, adding that at one point, she was forced to perform oral sex on Maxwell herself while Epstein watched.
Giuffre was also asked in the deposition if she was aware of “any distinguishing physical features” on Maxwell.
“I can tell you that she had very large natural breasts,” she replied. “I can tell you that her pubic hair was dark brown, nearly black,”
Giuffre claimed Maxwell recruited her while she was working at President Trump’s Mar-aLago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., as a teen and eventually brought her to a sex room in Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion where there were sex toys and pornographic art.
Epstein, she said, was there waiting for her, naked on a massage table and Maxwell undressed her.
“Then at the end, I was told by Ghislaine to get on top and straddle Jeffrey sexually, and when we were done, we went and had a shower in the room, and Jeffrey told me to wash him up and down,” she said.
Giuffre also alleged in the documents that Epstein and Maxwell instructed her to procure other girls for their perverted sexual fantasies — and that the millionaire pedophile had strict likes and dislikes.
“What instructions were you given about what to look for?” a lawyer asked Giuffre, according to the court papers.
“Young, pretty, you know, a fun personality,” Giuffre said. “They couldn’t be black. If they were any other descent other than white, they had to be exotically beautiful. That was just about it.”
