Andy’s pal ‘ordered a roomful of underage girls for perv boss’

Socialite Maxwell groom claims

PRINCE Andrew’s pal Ghislaine Maxwell ordered “a room full of underage girls” to sexually touch each other as Jeffrey Epstein watched, court papers claim.

Socialite Maxwell, 59, is also alleged to have left a message for billionair­e Epstein telling him that a girl then aged 14 was “available on Tuesday”.

The allegation­s are contained in 112 court documents a US judge has cleared to be made public.

They form part of a civil defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by the Duke of York’s teen sex accuser Virginia Giuffre.

The Duke of York and his legal team have vehemently denied Giuffre’s claims they had sex three times in homes owned by Epstein and Maxwell.

One of the document states: “[Name redacted] also testified that he watched Maxwell direct a room full of underage

girls to kiss, dance, and touch one another in a sexual way for [Maxwell] and Epstein to watch.”

The papers claim Maxwell confiscate­d a 15-year-old girl’s passport to get her to have sex with

Epstein.

Rinaldo Rizzo, a butler who worked for billionair­e Glenn Dubin, said in filings for an unrelated case that Epstein and Maxwell brought the teenager when they visited his employer in New York.

He said he found the girl crying about alleged treatment by Maxwell and her assistant, Sarah Kellen, at Epstein’s property in the US Virgin Islands. Rizzo claimed the girl told him Maxwell and Kellen had demanded sex and took away her phone and passport. Kellen has denied all claims against her.

According to Rizzo, the girl told him: “I was threatened by Ghislaine not to discuss this.”

Maxwell has also been accused by Epstein’s butler Juan Alessi of being at the paedophile’s home in Florida where 100 girls came to massage him over a decade.

Prince Andrew, 60, is referred to in evidence given by Anthony Figueroa, the ex-boyfriend of Virginia. He is asked if he ever heard his former girlfriend talking “about sex with the Prince”, to which he replied: “I don’t recall talking to them about that, but, I mean, it could be possible”.

The court documents also allege Maxwell tried to smear Virginia, now aged 37, by alleging she had an “opioid addiction”.

Maxwell was arrested in July in a criminal case separate to Virginia’s lawsuit.

She has been indicted on four charges in which she is accused of grooming and abusing three girls under the age of 18.

If found guilty, she faces up to 35 years in prison. She has denied all the claims and is due for trial in New York in July.

Epstein, 66, committed suicide in 2019 while in detention awaiting trial for underage sex traffickin­g.
