Pervert kept videos of guests as ‘insurance’
PRINCE Andrew may have been captured on secret cameras his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein had in homes as an “insurance policy” against celebrity friends.
The FBI is understood to be looking at hundreds of hours of footage taken from properties the duke visited.
A source said: “Epstein kept a treasure trove of information in his safes on his famous friends.
“No one was immune. He knew it would provide an insurance policy should anything happen.
“It wasn’t just royalty he had over to his place but presidents, world leaders and celebrities.”
In another development, the lawyer for the duke’s sex accuser Virginia Giuffre has said it is “critical” the notebooks of the duke’s royal protection officers be handed to US investigators.
Leading counsel Josh Schiller said that not only should records taken by the Met’s Royalty Protection Command SO14 be given to the FBI but also to Epstein’s victims involved in ongoing civil cases.
Schiller said: “It is critical that these notebooks be preserved and made available to the courts in the United States with jurisdiction over criminal and civil matters concerning Mr Epstein.”
The attorney’s call came after it was revealed the notebooks could hold the truth about the claims over the Duke of York.
The pocket logbooks, in which officers protecting the royals make handwritten notes on a day-to-day basis, are kept for up to 30 years.
The FBI refused to comment.
One alleged Epstein victim, Marie Farmer, who claims the US billionaire and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell sexually assaulted her in 1996, recalled how the pervert chillingly told about the tapes.
Speaking to CBS in the US, Farmer described being horrified when he revealed to her a “media room” in the New York home Andrew, 59, stayed in.
She said it contained numerous closed-circuit televisions set up with feeds from pin-hole surveillance cameras in the bedrooms and bathrooms of his home.
