ANDREW EXCLUSIVE 2
MY FULL STORY, BY ‘SEX SLAVE GIRL’
WHO FIRST BROKE THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN SCANDAL IN THE MAIL ON SUNDAY IN 2007 IT IS the most extraordinary story of sex, power, influence and the abuse of young girls and it has already sent Jeffrey Epstein, one of the richest men in America to jail.
And yesterday this sordid saga erupted once again with Prince Andrew sensationally forced to deny having any sexual contact with the woman whose claims have dogged him for years. Last week, the Prince was accused of abusing ‘Jane Doe 3’ – an anonymous name used in American court papers – at an orgy where she was being used as a sex slave. Jane Doe 3 is Virginia Roberts, whose story was first uncovered in 2007 by The Mail on Sunday following a painstaking investigation by our reporter Sharon Churcher, who tracked her to Australia.
The story she told was extraordinary – how she spent three years as an under-age ‘sex slave’ working for the billionaire financier, a friend of the Prince, and paid to give erotic massages to the tycoon and his associates. She also claimed that Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, acted as Epstein’s ‘madame’.
The allegations by Miss Roberts are threatening the reputation of the Queen’s second son. The Palace has emphatically denied that the Prince has had relations with underage girls.
Now, thanks to the court documents Miss Roberts lodged in Florida last week, The Mail on Sunday can publish the most complete story yet of how this young woman was exploited by Epstein’s shuttered world of seedy sex and influence. We spoke to Miss Roberts twice, the last time just 12 months ago. While fragments of her testimony to us were reproduced last week, only now can we present her comprehensive account with previously unpublished material.
LAST week it was sensationally claimed that Prince Andrew had taken part i n what, it was implied, was sex with a girl who was under the age of consent according to the law in Florida. As the papers lodged in the Palm Beach court spell out: ‘Epstein forced Jane Doe 3 to have sexual relations with a member of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew (aka Duke of York).
‘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. Maxwell facilitated Prince Andrew’s acts of sexual abuse by acting as a “madame” for Epstein.’
In response, Buckingham Palace issued a strongly worded denial.
But Miss Roberts’s account differs. She says she first encountered Epstein and later Prince Andrew through Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the disgraced newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell.
Miss Roberts’s father was a maintenance manager at Donald Trump’s palatial Florida country club, mara-lago. Miss Roberts also got a part-time job there, as a changing room assistant in the spa. Soon after her 15th birthday, she says she met Ghislaine at the club.
The socialite was a friend of Epstein’s and the pair were known in New York and London for their hedonistic lifestyle – which concerned Royal courtiers after Andrew began to associate with them. Andrew was photographed surrounded by topless women during one holiday with them in Thailand and was pictured sweatily cavorting with Ghislaine at a Halloween sado-masochistic-themed party in Manhattan, reinforcing his public image as a party loving playboy.
Miss Roberts says she had no idea of the risks she was running when she leapt at an invitation from Ghis-
laine to work for Epstein.
‘I was wearing my sexy white MarA-Lago uniform – a white miniskirt and a skintight white polo top – and studying an anatomy book when I was approached by this striking woman in her mid-40s with a very proper British accent – Ghislaine,’ Miss Roberts told The Mail on Sunday.
‘She noticed what I was reading and I told her I wanted to become a masseuse and she said she worked for a very wealthy gentleman called Jef- frey Epstein who was looking for a travelling masseuse and I’d get training and be paid large amounts of money.’
Miss Roberts was told she could start work immediately and was driven to Epstein’s sugar-pink man- sion on the Palm Beach waterfront. The stairwell was decorated with photos of naked young girls and Miss Roberts eventually would learn that she, too, was being photographed by hidden cameras.
‘But I was too nervous to take it in,’ she says. ‘Another lady led me into Jeffrey’s bedroom. It had a king-size bed, and a spiral staircase that led down to a pool.
‘The lady walked me straight through into the massage room. It was part of a suite – a shower room, a steam room and another closetsized room where I later learned the sex toys were kept.
‘Jeffrey was lying face-down on a table, completely naked. He asked me a whole bunch of questions and within the first hour, he knew my life story. I told him I’d been a runaway and I’d lived on the street and I’d taken Ecstasy tablets and I wasn’t a virgin and he said, “So you’re a bad girl in a good girl’s body”.’
‘The lady told me to follow her instructions. She had me put oil on my hands and then she grabbed one of his feet and started to massage it and she told me to take his other foot. Then she took off her shirt and started rubbing her breasts across
