Maxwell’s daughter ‘gave sex advice to victim of Epstein’

- From Katherine Rushton in Los Angeles and Daniel Bates in New York

‘He forced her into a sham lesbian marriage’

GHISLAINE Maxwell gave one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims advice on the ‘proper way’ to perform a sex act on him, it was claimed yesterday.

While on a trip to one of the paedophile’s Caribbean islands, Miss Maxwell is alleged to have shown the girl ‘step by step’ the ‘exact way that Jeffrey Epstein liked to be sexually serviced’.

The claims are in three lawsuits brought by Epstein’s accusers, which paint a disturbing picture of a controllin­g man who made false promises to vulnerable young women so he could abuse them for years.

Epstein was said to be so arrogant that he flew two of the women to Florida so that he could continue to abuse them while he was on work release from jail in the late 2000s.

The lawsuits were filed against the estate of Epstein, 66, who was found hanged on August 10 in his cell in New York while awaiting trial on sex traffickin­g charges.

At least five victims are suing his estate and his companies for battery and negligence as they seek a slice of his fortune which he valued at nearly $577million (£458million). The latest three lawsuits were filed at Manhattan’s federal court and were brought under pseudonyms by ‘Priscilla Doe’, ‘Katlyn Doe’ and ‘Lisa Doe’ who were 20, 17 and 17 respective­ly when they met Epstein.

Miss Maxwell, 57, the daughter of disgraced newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, has already been accused in court papers of recruiting underage girls for Epstein, her former boyfriend – which she denies.

Priscilla claims that on a trip to one of Epstein’s Caribbean islands he ‘confiscate­d’ her passport so there was no way of her leaving.

She claims that it was there that Miss Maxwell told her that she ‘needed to learn how to properly sexually service Jeffrey Epstein in the exact way that he preferred’.

The lawsuit states: ‘Ghislaine Maxwell made it clear to plaintiff that it was very important for her to understand and take this instructio­n seriously.’ Priscilla also says Epstein bragged that Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and the Sultan of Dubai were among his closest friends.

Katlyn Doe claims that when she met Epstein in 2007 she had an eating disorder and a serious medical condition. He gave her free haircuts, paid for some of her medical bills and made her feel ‘indebted’ so that she had to have sex with him. The lawsuit says Epstein forced her into a sham lesbian marriage with one of his associates in 2013 so that the associate, a non-US citizen, could remain in America.

Lisa Doe alleges that Epstein promised to further her dance career when she was introduced to him through one of his recruiters. Instead, she became ‘completely reliant’ on him and repeatedly had sex with him. She claims that during their first meeting in 2002 she was introduced to a prince who was ‘visiting as a close personal friend’. She does not say which prince it was.

The lawsuit states: ‘Prince engaged in conversati­on with Jeffrey Epstein and plaintiff, who was shocked that someone as powerful as a royal family member would be engaging in small talk with her.’ Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s alleged behaviour. In a statement this week, Buckingham Palace said: ‘The Duke of York has been appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes... and the suggestion he would condone, participat­e in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent.’

Miss Maxwell has denied all accusation­s of improper behaviour.
