Epstein Case: Incriminating Court Filings See Light of Day, Many Powerful Figures 'Caught'

(Patria) – Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein allegedly tried to gather incriminating material against British Prince Andrew by forcing a minor girl to have sex with a member of the royal family, according to newly released New York court documents.

According to court records, the alleged encounter took place on the Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned a private island. The same document states that Epstein instructed a girl identified as N.N. (known to be Virginia Roberts Guiffre) to 'give the prince whatever he wants and report back to him (Epstein) on the details of the sexual abuse'.

It is stated that Epstein sold the services of this and other underage girls to powerful figures 'to curry favor for business, personal, political, and financial gain, as well as to gather potential blackmail material'. His schemes involved 'numerous prominent politicians, powerful businessmen, foreign presidents, well-known prime ministers, and other world leaders'.

These filings are part of a 2015 lawsuit between Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, and Guiffre (36), who accused the notorious couple of sexual abuse. Guiffre also claims she was forced to have sexual relations with Prince Andrew, which he vehemently denies.

The released filings also state that in 1999, Maxwell hired another girl, N.N., who is mentioned in the case against Epstein, when she was only 15 years old. Epstein held her as a 'sex slave' from 1999 to 2002, but the girl later managed to escape to another country.

Epstein committed suicide in prison last summer while awaiting trial for sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.

His former partner Ghislaine Maxwell was recently arrested on federal charges of recruiting at least three underage girls (the youngest being 14) for Epstein in the 1990s for sexual abuse, in which she also participated.

Maxwell is currently in a New York prison awaiting trial, the Guardian reports.
