Ghislaine ‘groped a 16-year-old naked girl as Epstein watched’
PRINCE Andrew’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly groped a teenage girl during a naked massage as paedophile Jeffrey Epstein looked on.
The British socialite is accused of sexually assaulting then 16-year-old Annie Farmer at the Wall Street financier’s ranch in New Mexico, according to author Bradley Edwards, a lawyer for more than 20 of Epstein’s victims.
His book, Relentless Pursuit: My Fight For The Victims Of Jeffrey Epstein, also quotes one witness saying the tycoon “wasn’t beyond killing someone” to keep his sex addiction alive.
The FBI is investigating Epstein’s circle of friends who are accused of helping Maxwell procure girls.
Alleged victim Farmer, now 40, testified she was flown to the financier’s vast Zorro Ranch after he offered to pay for her studies in Thailand.
The book alleges Epstein and Maxwell took her shopping before returning to the ranch.
Farmer claims Epstein then said she “deserved a massage”.
“She felt uncomfortable because Ghislaine made her get naked before covering her with a sheet,” Mr
Edwards writes of her testimony. Farmer claims Maxwell, the daughter of disgraced media tycoon Robert Maxwell, then massaged her before pulling the covers off, exposing her breasts and rubbing the teen’s chest.
She soon realised Epstein had been watching throughout.
Maxwell is accused of recruiting several girls including Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who alleges she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, 60, when she was 17 at Epstein’s direction. Both the Duke of York and Maxwell, 58, deny any wrongdoing.
Giuffre, now 35, claims Maxwell had sex with dozens of girls.
The Briton provided graphic advice, according to court papers, on how to satisfy Epstein and ensured young women were “constantly on call”.
Epstein, 66, committed suicide in jail last August as he awaited trial for underage sex trafficking.
