Second Jeffrey Epstein victim claims she ‘had sex with Prince Andrew’

The woman has reportedly been in contact with lawyers representing the other alleged victims.

A second woman who was allegedly abused by billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has claimed she also had sex with Prince Andrew.

The woman, who has not been named, has reportedly been in contact with lawyers representing the other alleged victims.

It is currently being decided whether these accusations will form part of a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate, with a ‘rigorous investigation’ underway, according to The Mirror.

However, there is no indication that the woman claims the sexual encounter was non-consensual.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment when approached by Metro.co.uk.

This follows Virginia Giuffre’s accusations that she was forced into sex with Prince Andrew after being trafficked by Epstein.

The Duke of York, 59, has categorically denied this.

In an emotional BBC Panorama interview on Monday, Mrs Giuffre, 35, broke down in tears as she opened up about her alleged encounter with the royal.

She said Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell had told her she ‘had to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey’ during the prince’s stay in her London home.

Mrs Giuffre, née Roberts, said: ‘That made me sick. I just didn’t expect it from royalty. I didn’t expect it from someone that people look up to and admire in the Royal Family.’

She continued: ‘There was a bath and it started there, and then it led into the bedroom. It didn’t last very long, the whole entire procedure. It was disgusting.

‘He wasn’t mean or anything but he got up and he said “thanks” and walked out. I sat there in bed, just horrified and ashamed, and felt dirty and I had to get up and go have a shower.

‘The next day, Ghislaine tells me I did a really good job. She pats me on the back and said, “you made him really happy”. It was a wicked time in my life.

‘It was a really scary time in my life. I had just been abused by a member of the Royal Family, so when you talk about these chains… yeah I wasn’t chained to a sink.

‘But these powerful people were my chains. I don’t know what happened.

‘I couldn’t comprehend how the highest levels of government and powerful people were allowing this to happen.

‘Not only allowing this to happen, but participating in it.’

Prince Andrew also gave his version of events in a grilling with BBC presenter Emily Maitlis.

In the interview, the father-of-two said he couldn’t sweat at the time, meaning there was ‘a slight problem’ with Mrs Guiffre’s claims that he had perspired ‘profusely’ during their encounter.

He also said he could not have had sex on the alleged date because he had taken his daughter to Pizza Express.

Earlier this week, a lawsuit filed against Epstein’s estate by nine accusers claimed his sexual abuse of girls and young women started as early as 1985 and he targeted victims as young as 13 years old.

Prosecutors in the US have pledged to continue to pursue anyone who helped Epstein carry out his crimes, despite his jail cell suicide in August.

The convicted sex offender had faced up to 45 years in prison if found guilty of federal sex trafficking charges at the time of his death.
