Prince Andrew Breaks Cover For First Time Three Weeks After Settling Sex Abuse Case

Prince Andrew has been pictured for the first time since it was announced he had reached an out of court settlement with his accuser Virginia Giuffre, who had brought a civil sex abuse claim against him

Prince Andrew breaks cover for first time three weeks after settling sex abuse case

Prince Andrew has been pictured for the first time since it was announced he had reached an out of court settlement with his accuser Virginia Giuffre, who had brought a civil sex abuse claim against him

Last month, on February 15, it was announced he had reached an out of court settlement with his accuser Virginia Giuffre - but he has not been seen since.

However, today he was pictured driving his Range Rover after spending around an hour at Windsor Castle, where the Queen is in residence.

The settlement means he will not face a civil jury trial over allegations that he sexually abused her on three separate occasions when she was 17. Andrew has continuously denied all of Ms Giuffre's claims.

It was announced last month that the Duke of York and Ms Giuffre had reached a “settlement in principle” in her bombshell civil sex claim filed in the US - said to be £12million.

Court documents show the disgraced royal will make a "substantial donation" to Ms Giuffre's charity, which supports victims' rights.

A document submitted to a US court said: "Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms Giuffre's character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks.

"It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years. Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein and commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others.

"He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims."

Meanwhile, it was reported that the Queen agreed to help Andrew settle his civil sex case by personally making a £2million donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity.

Under the terms of the £2m deal arranged by the Queen’s most senior advisors and the Duke of York’s legal team, the Queen agreed to help Andrew as long as she was not connected to any personal payment to Ms Giuffre, it is understood.

A royal source said: “She could not be seen to be making a payment to a victim of sexual assault, who accused her son of being an abuser.

Andrew settled his civil sex case three weeks ago

“But a deal was structured in such a way to arrange a sizeable financial contribution to the settlement by way of a charitable donation instead.”

Yesterday, it was also reported that Prince Charles is lending Andrew millions to pay the settlement.

There had been growing calls for clarity on exactly how Andrew will fund the reported £12million payout, with demands that none of it be paid from public money.

David McClure, author of The Queen’s True Worth, told the Mirror last month: “The sums involved in Prince Andrew’s settlement are extraordinary so the public do have a right to know if public money, or indeed the Queen’s personal funds, were used. But I wouldn’t hold your breath.”

Meanwhile, it has also been reported that the monarch is allowing her shamed son to remain as Queen’s Counsellor of State and keep his dukedom and service rank of Vice-Admiral, despite pressure to strip him of all remaining privileges.

Jeffrey Epstein's Caribbean Properties Including 'Paedophile Island' Goes Up For Sale

Jeffrey Epstein's Caribbean Properties including infamous 'Paedophile Island' where Prince Andrew is claimed to have stayed goes up for sale

Daily Mirror 23 MAR 2022

The Caribbean island on which Prince Andrew is claimed to have visited his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein has gone on sale.

Two properties that were once at the centre of the disgraced financier's real estate portfolio are being listed for £97 million.

Situated in the US Virgin Islands, Great St James and Little St James islands have been put on the market by Epstein's estate.

According to reports in the US, money from their sale will help fund outstanding lawsuits filed by the late sex offender's victims and the costs of running the properties.

Little St James is where the Duke of York's sex accuser Virginia Giuffre claimed in court he took part in a nine girl orgy with Epstein.

The Prince vehemently denied her claims.

Jeffrey Epstein arrived in the Virgin Islands in 1998, when he paid £6 million for Little St. James, a roughly 70-acre island. He called it Little St Jeff's.

Ms Giuffre wrote in evidence to a Florida Court on January 19, 2015: "The third time I had sex with Andy was in an orgy on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands.

"I was around 18 at the time. Epstein, Andy, approximately eight other young girls, and I had sex together. The other girls all seemed and appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English."

Ms Giuffre added Epstein “laughed about the fact they couldn’t really communicate, saying that they are the ‘easiest’ girls to get along with”.

The court filings were made in a civil defamation lawsuit filed by Ms Giuffre against since-convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

The mum-of-three would later go on to sue Andrew in August 2021 for sex abuse in New York. The case was settled last month with a reported £12 million out of court settlement paid to Ms Giuffre by the royal.

Before his jail cell suicide in August 2019, Epstein once described the United States Virgin Islands as "my favourite place to be."

It became a haven for him and his associates, Epstein's victims claim to have been abused there.

The financier's private 'Lolita Express' jet would fly him to St Thomas's international airport, where he would board a helicopter that flew him to his Little St. James and Great St. James islands.

Once there, he was known to entertain famous friends and, his accusers have claimed in court filings, trafficked underage girls for sex.

Epstein arrived in the Virgin Islands in 1998, when he paid £6 million for Little St. James, a roughly 70-acre island. He called it Little St Jeff's.

In 2016, he bought the larger Great St. James for £13.25 million.

The financier's private 'Lolita Express' jet would fly him to St Thomas's international airport, where he would board a helicopter that flew him to his Little St. James and Great St. James islands.

Over the years, he spent millions more developing the islands, including building a villa with a library, a Japanese bathhouse and a movie theatre.

When he was there, he cultivated close ties to the islands' political and financial elite. He once employed a governor's wife.

Epstein hired an architecture firm owned by the same governor's uncle.

He also donated money, sponsored scholarships and even gave dozens of computers to give away.

A lawsuit filed by prosecutors in the US Virgin Islands two years ago alleged Epstein used his two secluded islands to engage in a nearly two-decade conspiracy to traffic and abuse girls as young as 11 years old.

According to reports in the US, money from their sale will help fund outstanding lawsuits filed by the late sex offender's victims and the costs of running the propertie

According to the complaint, he and others organised a search party to catch a 15-year-old victim trying to swim away and kept her passport to keep her captive.

From 2001 to 2018, Epstein and his aides, among them Ghislaine Maxwell, flew girls from other countries to the Virgin Islands on the multimillionaire's private plane.

Epstein, 66, killed himself in a New York federal jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December of sex trafficking and other charges for helping Epstein sexually abuse multiple teenage girls from 1994 to 2004.

She is scheduled to be sentenced in June, although she has filed a motion for a retrial after a juror failed to reveal his own sexual abuse in a questionnaire before being selected to be on the panel.

Ghislaine Maxwells' New Trial on Sex Trafficking Charges DENIED

Ghislaine Maxwell in an embrace with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein

Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been dealt a bitter blow after a judge denied her motion for a new trial.

The British socialite will now face sentencing on June 28, when she could be imprisoned for up to 60 years.

The 60-year-old had moved to have her conviction vacated after it emerged a juror had failed to reveal he had been sexually abused as a child when asked.

Scotty David went on to say in a series of media interviews how his own experience helped shaped the juror’s verdict once he revealed it to them.

Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges for helping paedophile Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse multiple teenage girls from 1994 to 2004.

In her ruling, Judge Alison Nathan wrote of Scotty David’s omission that although “highly unfortunate”, it was “not deliberate”.

She added: "The court further concludes that Juror 50 harboured no bias towards the defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror."

Nathan added that the requirements for a new trial were not met.

“The defendant's motion for a new trial is therefore denied,” she added.

The decision came just hours after Maxwell’s lawyers ask for the judgment to be delayed after her attorneys were made aware of a “bombshell revelation” by a juror.

Before the motion was denied her team filed a letter to the New York Court saying they had discovered the juror had been interviewed for a new documentary.

The Brit’s lawyer Bobbi Sternum wrote: “We write to make the Court aware of new information concerning Juror 50 that may impact Ghislaine Maxwell’s pending motion for a new trial.

“Paramount Plus will be airing an additional interview with Juror 50 in an original series titled “Ghislaine – Partner in Crime.”

The trailer announced a “bombshell revelation” from Juror 50 in his “only in-depth interview.”

They added: “We have been unable to access the series in order to review the content of Juror’s 50 statements nor have we learned whether the interview was recorded before he testified at the March 8 hearing.

"The series was scheduled to air on March 29, but we have learned that Paramount is holding off airing the series pending the Court’s ruling concerning Juror 50.

“We bring to the Court’s attention this previously undisclosed interview and request a stay of any pending ruling review of the interview by the Court and counsel.”

Prince Andrew and The Fraudster

Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson were allegedly paid 'substantial sums' - including a reported 'gift' of more than £750,000 - by a Turkish millionaire.

Deputy High Court judge David Halpern named the royals in a recent ruling on a dispute between millionaire Nebahat Isbilen and businessman Selman Turk.

Mrs Isbilen had needed assistance moving her assets out of Turkey after her husband was imprisoned there owing to his "political affiliations", the judge had been told.

Mr Turk, a businessman and former banker, had agreed to help Mrs Isbilen move her assets out of reach of the Turkish authorities.

She claims Mr Turk tricked her into giving Andrew £750,000 "by way of payment for assistance" with getting a passport, the court heard.

The judge was told that "substantial sums" had been paid to Andrew and his wife.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on their part.

Andrew has since repaid the cash after she alleged it was a scam, Mail Online reports.

Mrs Isbilen has alleged that Mr Turk "breached fiduciary obligations he owed to her" and "advances claims in deceit".

She claims he "dishonestly misappropriated" $50million (£38million) of her money, the High Court heard.

Mr Turk is fighting the case.

The litigation is ongoing and has been heard at the High Court in London. A number of preliminary rulings have been published.

Judge Halpern said a lawyer representing Mrs Isbilen had told him, in an affidavit, that information had emerged to show evidence given by Mr Turk was "misleading".

The money to Prince Andrew was a payment for help he allegedly provided, The Royal Court of Justice heard

He said solicitor Jonathan Tickner had told him how evidence showed that "money was used for purposes unconnected with Mrs Isbilen, e.g., substantial sums were paid to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and to Sarah, Duchess of York".

Judge Halpern said barrister Dan McCourt Fritz, who represents Mrs Isbilen, had told him that the "total sums which his client claims were misappropriated" amounted to some 50 million US dollars (about £38 million).

"Mr Turk has provided explanations for approximately two thirds of these sums, most of which have been allegedly spent on professional or other fees or lost in bad investments," the judge added, in his ruling.

"No explanation at all has been given for the remaining one third."

Epstein Told People That Prince Andrew Was an Idiot – But a Useful One -Bombshell Book Claims

Prince Harry Doesn’t Want Camilla to be Queen, Royal Author Tina Brown Claims

Explosive new book claims 10-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell told house guests of father’s ‘sadistic’ physical abuse

The Telegraph UK 13 APR 2022

Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly called Prince Andrew “an idiot” behind his back, according to a bombshell new book by Tina Brown.

Brown — a high-powered journalist who previously edited Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and the Daily Beast — details the transactional friendship between the pedophile and the prince in her tome, “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor – the Truth and the Turmoil,” set for release later this month.

“Privately, Epstein told people that Andrew was an idiot, but — to him — a useful one,” Brown writes in the book, excerpted in the Telegraph this weekend.

“A senior royal, even if tainted, is always a potent magnet abroad,” Brown continues. “Epstein confided to a friend that he used to fly the Duke of York to obscure foreign markets, where governments were obliged to receive him, and Epstein went along as HRH’s investment adviser. With Andrew as frontman, Epstein could negotiate deals with these (often) shady players.”

Andrew is pictured second from left with Melania Trump (far left), Gwendolyn Beck and Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in 2000.

Epstein died behind bars in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex-trafficking charges.

Andrew — who was famously photographed strolling with the pedophile in 2011 following Epstein’s first release from prison — has denied knowing anything about Epstein’s illegal behavior.

Back in January, Queen Elizabeth stripped the prince of his military and royal titles after a Manhattan judge allowed a sexual assault lawsuit against the disgraced royal to move forward.

The suit was filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 38, who has long claimed that Epstein made her have “disgusting” sex with the royal three times, starting in 2001 when she was just 17.

Andrew’s lawyers say he “unequivocally denies Giuffre’s false allegations against him.” He has never been charged criminally.

Maxwell Fathers’ Sadistic Physical Abuse

Ghislaine Maxwell in 2013 in New York City.

A 10-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell told house guests her father beat her with objects of her choosing — and Jeffrey Epstein referred to Prince Andrew as his useful “idiot,” according to an explosive upcoming book about the British royal family.

Excerpts from author Tina Brown’s “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor — the Truth and the Turmoil,” published Monday in the Daily Telegraph, tell how Epstein, a New York financier, used his relationship with the prince to open doors in international circles and further enrich himself.

The book, on shelves in two weeks, also explores how Maxwell’s unorthodox upbringing as the privileged daughter of media mogul and fraudster Robert Maxwell helped shape her twisted relationship with the convicted sex predator.

The child abuse claims in “The Palace Papers” are attributed to a British newspaper heiress who knew Maxwell as a girl.

“(Eleanor) Berry noticed an odd-shaped hairbrush, a strap, a slipper and other implements laid out on the child’s dressing room table. Ghislaine said, rather proudly, ‘(This) is what daddy uses to beat me with. But he always allows me to choose which one I want,’” reads the excerpt.

“In the sadistic offering of power to the powerless, asking her, in essence, to procure herself for her father, one can better understand how Ghislaine fell under the spell of a man like Epstein.”

Brown’s book describes Maxwell, who started dating the multimillionaire Epstein when she was 30 after moving to New York City, as “madly in love” with the late serial pedophile.

“Their relationship quickly turned transactional: Epstein made the money, and Ghislaine made the introductions,” an excerpt reads.

“Unable to hold his sexual attention, she found a way to keep him at her side by recruiting ‘nubiles’ (as she called them) to service his insatiable needs.”

A jury convicted Maxwell on Dec. 29 of aiding Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme from 1994 to 2002. She faces up to 65 years in prison when sentenced in June.

The former socialite’s lawyers argued at trial that she was a victim of Epstein’s manipulation and that prosecutors scapegoated her after his 2019 suicide.

The Queen’s second son was Maxwell’s “biggest catch” for Epstein, Brown writes, and his relationship with the royal was also transactional.

“Privately, Epstein told people that Andrew was an idiot, but — to him — a useful one. A senior royal, even if tainted, is always a potent magnet abroad. Epstein confided to a friend that he used to fly the Duke of York to obscure foreign markets, where governments were obliged to receive him, and Epstein went along as [his] investment adviser,” reads an excerpt.

“With Andrew as frontman, Epstein could negotiate deals with these (often) shady players.”

Andrew, who was accused in a civil case of having sex with one of Epstein’s alleged underage sex trafficking victims, visited the multimillionaire in New York with such regularity that Epstein gave him a “grandly decorated” Upper East Side guest suite nicknamed “the Britannica Suite,” according to Brown, founder of the Daily Beast and a former Vanity Fair editor in chief.

“Epstein made Andrew feel he had joined the big time — the deals, the girls, the plane, the glittering New York world, where he wasn’t seen as a full-grown man still dependent on his mother’s Privy Purse strings or on the harsh pecking order of the Palace” Brown wrote. “The Duke was always as oversexed as a boob-ogling adolescent.”

A spokesperson for the Maxwell family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Prince Andrew Stripped of Honorary Freedom of York Title After Unanimous Vote

Councillors voted for the removal of Prince Andrew's honorary 'freedom of York' title following his out of court settlement with his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, earlier this year

BBC News 29 APR 2022

Prince Andrew has been stripped of his honorary 'freedom of York' title in the latest blow for the disgraced Duke, following a unanimous vote by York City Council.

Councillors voted for the removal in an Extraordinary Council Meeting held on Wednesday evening at the York Racecourse.

It comes after the Prince earlier this year reached an out of court settlement with his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, in a civil sex claim filed in the US.

It means that he has now avoided a potentially explosive trial with the settlement said to be £12million. Andrew has continually denied the allegations against him.

Many councillors discussing the motion to remove Prince Andrew's Honorary Freedom of the City of York in the meeting this evening noted that the move was merely a starting point for the changes they felt should be made.

A number of the councillors and members of public who spoke at the meeting at York Racecourse on Wednesday called for either the Queen or the Government to strip Andrew of the title Duke of York, thereby removing what Labour councillor Aisling Musson called: "This stain of an association with this city."

He is the first person ever to have the Freedom of the City removed, councillors were told.

There were two formal abstentions - from the Lord Mayor and Lord Mayor elect.

Lib Dem Darryl Smalley, City of York Council's executive member for culture, leisure and communities and proposer of the motion, said the Honorary Freedom of York was the "highest honour" that the city could bestow on those who represented the "very best" of York.

"The honour is held by many notable and accomplished people who carry it with pride and responsibly," he said.

"Having been stripped of his military roles and royal patronages by the Queen, we believe that it is right to remove all links that Prince Andrew still has with our great city.

"The removal of this honorary title sends the right message that we as a city stand with victims of abuse."

The council had previously debated at length its commitment to stand with victims of sexual abuse and work to end violence against females, Mr Smalley added.

Councilors said the motion did not go far enough

"As such, we believe it's appropriate it is inappropriate for Prince Andrew to retain his ambassadorial title that is so intrinsically linked to our city and finally, the next logical step would be for Prince Andrew to do the right thing and relinquish the title," he said.

"If he fails to do so, the Government and Buckingham Palace must step in to remove his title to finally end Prince Andrew's connection to York."

First to speak from the public gallery on Wednesday evening was Gwen Swinburn, who said: "Mr Andrew Windsor is an utter disgrace.

"He brings shame and reputational damage everywhere he goes, including to our city.

"The motion to withdraw his status goes nowhere near far enough. He needs to be be declared persona non grata in York.

"You (councillors) need to be starting whatever process is needed to remove his duke title."

Councillors during the meeting of the York City Council at the York Racecourse

Prince Andrew has faced calls to give up his ducal title for some time.

Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who represents York Central, says Andrew must remove his association with the city in light of the out-of-court settlement reached with Virginia Giuffre.

She said: “Although it is a relief that Prince Andrew has finally acknowledged and expressed regret for his close association with a convicted sex offender and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, his long delay in doing so and initial response to the charges and Ms Giuffre have been source of deep hurt and embarrassment to many people across the city.

Ghislaine Maxwell Loses Bid to Overturn Sex Trafficking Conviction

Maxwell Loses Bid to Toss Sex Trafficking Conviction, as Sentencing Looms

AP. 30 APR 2022.

British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell on Friday lost a bid to overturn her December 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges, paving the way for her to be sentenced to decades in prison.

Maxwell, 60, who was convicted of helping recruit and sexually abuse girls for deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein to abuse, is scheduled to be sentenced in June.

U.S. Circuit Judge Alison Nathan ruled on Friday that three counts of the guilty verdict were supported by testimony and evidence presented at Maxwell's trial in Manhattan federal court.

Nathan, however, rejected the guilty verdicts reached on two of the counts, reducing the maximum possible sentence faced by Maxwell by 10 years to 55 years behind bars.

Nathan said three of the charges effectively covered the same offense, so upheld only one of those three guilty verdicts.

"This legal conclusion in no way calls into question the factual findings made by the jury," Nathan wrote. "Rather, it underscores that the jury unanimously found - three times over -that the Defendant is guilty of conspiring with Epstein to entice, transport, and traffic underage girls for sexual abuse."

Maxwell was convicted on five of six charges at trial.

Her request to overturn the conviction was separate from an earlier motion, also unsuccessful, for a new trial because of one juror's failure to disclose during jury selection that he had been sexually abused as a child.

Maxwell's lawyers argued that if they had known about the juror's history, they would have struck him from the panel. But Nathan concluded that the juror was not biased against Maxwell and served as a fair and impartial juror.

Epstein, himself a convicted sex offender, died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019 at the age of 66

Prince Andrew's Accuser Virginia Giuffre is Accused of Sexually Assaulting Another Woman at Jeffrey Epstein's Direction

Rina Oh claims Virginia Roberts Giuffre sexually abused her at Epstein's request
Oh and Giuffre are engaged in a bitter defamation suit in US District Court
Both women have claimed that they were subjected by abuse by the other
Oh claims Giuffre touched her without consent in Epstein's townhouse in 2001

By Chay Quinn For MailOnline10 JUN 2022

Rina Oh, 43, filed a court claim against Giuffre in US District Court and said she was 'frozen like a deer' as Giuffre 'touched her without consent' in 2001.

Prince Andrew's accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is facing sexual assault claims - after another alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein says the dead pedophile directed Giuffre to abuse her.

The alleged incident was said to have taken place in the massage room of disgraced financier Epstein's townhouse in Manhattan and has come to light as the women are suing each other.

In court filings, Oh's representatives claimed: '[Oh] was surprised when she was called to the massage room to see Epstein, and found Epstein and [Giuffre] waiting for her.

'[Giuffre] then proceeded to touch [Oh] without [Oh's] consent and much to her horror.

'[Oh] did not reciprocate or sexually touch [Giuffre].'

Oh told the New York Post: 'I went into the massage room and [Giuffre] touched me without my consent; she sexually abused me.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Prince Andrew's alleged victim, has been accused of sexual assault in court

'I was standing there, frozen like a deer. I did not move. I was in shock. I felt mortified and was uncomfortable.'

Oh said that she was introduced to Epstein after the end of a relationship and that she had once described the pedophile financier as a 'rich, older boyfriend' but now says she was a victim of sexual abuse.

Giuffre's attorney Kat Thomas told the New York Post: 'The allegations of sexual assault against Ms. Giuffre are not true.'

The legal dispute between the two women began when Oh filed a defamation lawsuit against Giuffre after the latter tweeted that Oh 'procured & partook in the abuse of minors' with Epstein.

Oh is seeking $10million in damages.

Giuffre countersued claiming to be 'the victim of the sadomasochist sexual play and physical abuse perpetrated against her by Oh, including cutting, slashing and other physical injuries during the sadomasochist sessions.

Oh denied the allegations to the Post, saying: 'I never cut her leg. I never touched her. I never heard of anyone doing anything like that during my involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

'I am not that kind of person. I am afraid of needles and faint when my blood gets taken.'

Giuffre recently reached a settlement with Prince Andrew worth a reported $12million after sex trafficking claims.

The prince agreed to pay a huge sum to settle the case before it reached a jury.

Although the agreement contained no formal admission of liability from Andrew, or an apology, it said he now accepted Miss Roberts was a 'victim of abuse' and that he regretted his association with Epstein, the disgraced financier who trafficked countless young girls.

It also said the prince accepted that Miss Roberts, now 38, had been subjected to 'unfair public attacks' and that he had never intended to 'malign her character'.

Millionaire financier Epstein reportedly abused dozens of girls as young as 14 at the opulent property, before his arrest in July 2019.

He reportedly installed hundreds of pinhole cameras throughout the home to spy on his victims in 'private moments' in bathrooms and bedrooms. The house was also said to feature an array of bizarre decor, from an oil painting of Bill Clinton in heels and a blue dress, to a large taxidermy tiger.

The latest development comes as Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is awaiting sentencing - facing 50 years in jail for five charges related to recruiting and trafficking underage girls for Epstein.

Prince Andrew's £18Million Chalet Blow as Ski Resort Asset Frozen Over £1.6m Debt'

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson entered into a business arrangement with an unnamed couple and the ski chalet was frozen after an alleged £1.6m debt, according to a Swiss newspaper

BBC News 10 JUN 2022

Prince Andrew’s desperate bid to sell his £18million ski chalet now looks “impossible” after it was frozen as an asset by the Swiss authorities, it has been claimed.

Sources in Verbier, where he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson own the seven-bedroom property, say the chalet has been placed “under sequestration” due to an alleged £1.6m debt.

According to Le Temps, a Swiss newspaper, Andrew and Fergie entered into a business arrangement with an unnamed couple in the resort and the reported £1.6m debt prompted the sequestration of the property, named Henora.

In February, it emerged that Andrew had found a buyer for the chalet and aimed to use the proceeds to help pay off his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre. He did not accept any liability when he made the settlement.

But the sequestration means the sale of the chalet, which has an indoor pool and sauna, looks in peril.

Geneva law professor Nicolas Jeandin told Le Temps: “A sale is in principle impossible, except with the agreement of the creditor.”

Andrew is understood to be disputing he owes the full £1.6m, but he does not deny an unpaid debt.

A source close to the Duke said: “Talks are underway to resolve the matter. It in no way prevents the sale of the chalet, which is proceeding.”

Removal vans from London firm Abels arrived this week, but sources said the buyer was getting restless.

One warned: “The whole deal could collapse at any moment.”Andrew agreed to pay a reported £12m to Ms Giuffre, who had accused him of sexually assaulting her while she was his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave. He vehemently denies the claims.

Ian Maxwell, pictured, had flown three thousand miles to New York in order to visit his sister in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn only to be told he could not access the facility because of an incident in the male section of the jail

The brother of shamed former socialite and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was stopped from visiting her sister after flying 3,000 miles to New York because the jail was in lockdown due to an incident.

Ian Maxwell had arranged with prison authorities to visit his sister inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn when he was told he could not enter the facility.

The 60-year-old former girlfriend of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein is currently in the jail awaiting sentencing later this month.

Maxwell, who is a close friend of Prince Andrew has only managed one visit by a family member since her arrest.

'The official put a call into the legal office and they said "no". If I had flown from the moon, it would not have made any difference. They were not going to change.'

Mr Maxwell said they would not be able to put a call through to his sister because of the situation inside the men's section of the jail.

He claimed his sister is being held in in-human conditions and is being made a scapegoat.

Ghislaine Maxwell Asks Court For Sex Trafficking Sentence of Well Below 20 Years

The disgraced British socialite’s lawyers argued that she was threatened in jail and cannot be made proxy for Jeffrey Epstein

BBC News 16 JUN 2022

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorneys argued on Wednesday that the disgraced British socialite should be sentenced to “well below” the 20 years imprisonment that probation authorities have recommended in her New York federal sex-trafficking case.

In a pre-sentencing report, Maxwell’s attorneys provided detailed descriptions of her allegedly perilous conditions in jail, and described an emotionally distressing upbringing, as part of their argument for leniency.

They made the shocking allegation that “an inmate in Ms Maxwell’s unit threatened to kill her, claiming that an additional 20 years’ incarceration would be worth the money she’d receive for murdering Ms Maxwell”.

Jeffrey Epstein,Ghislaine Maxwell<br>FILE - Audrey Strauss, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, points to a photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, during a news conference in New York on July 2, 2020.

A judge has declined to throw out Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction, despite a juror’s failure to disclose he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse. U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan on Friday, April 1, 2022, refused to order a new trial for Maxwell, who was convicted in December of helping the American millionaire Epstein abuse several teenage girls.

“One of the female inmates in Ms Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep,” her attorneys claimed.

They also claimed that Maxwell’s father, the late disgraced publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, was abusive toward her and his other children. “Ghislaine vividly recalls a time when, at age 13, she tacked a poster of a pony on the newly painted wall of her bedroom. Rather than mar the paint with tape, she carefully hammered a thin tack to mount the poster,” the attorneys wrote. “This outraged her father, who took the hammer and banged on Ghislaine’s dominant hand, leaving it severely bruised and painful for weeks to come.”

Maxwell was convicted on 29 December of sex trafficking and related charges for luring girls, some aged just 14, into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, for him to abuse. She insists on her innocence.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender who once counted Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton among his rich and powerful associates, was arrested by federal authorities in July 2019, on sex-trafficking counts. He killed himself while awaiting trial in a New York City federal jail.

Maxwell is scheduled to be sentenced on 28 June and she faces up to 55 years behind bars. However, authorities calculate sentencing recommendations based on guidelines that take into account a variety of factors, such as a person’s criminal history.

The US probation department, which makes sentencing recommendations, has suggested a punishment of 240 months imprisonment. Maxwell’s sentence is ultimately up to the judge.

In asking for a lighter-than-recommended sentence, Maxwell’s lawyers argued that she can’t be a surrogate for Epstein, writing “this Court cannot sentence Ms Maxwell as if she were a proxy for Epstein simply because Epstein is no longer here”.

“Ms Maxwell cannot and should not bear all the punishment for which Epstein should have been held responsible. Ms Maxwell has already experienced a hard time during detention under conditions far more onerous and punitive than any experienced by a typical pretrial detainee, and she is preparing to spend significantly more time behind bars,” they wrote. “Her life has been ruined.”

“Ms Maxwell is not a dangerous criminal or a habitual offender. She is someone who wants nothing more than to live a normal family life – something she was denied because of her association with Epstein and will now almost certainly never have,” they also wrote. “The public does not need to be protected from Ms Maxwell and such considerations should have no weight in determining her sentence.”

They also claimed that her experiences as a youth created susceptibility to Epstein. “She had a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic and demanding father,” they wrote. “It made her vulnerable to Epstein, whom she met right after her father’s death. It is the biggest mistake she made in her life and one that she has not and never will repeat.”

Maxwell’s siblings made additional claims about their father’s impact on her relationship with Epstein, with two writing in a sentencing submission that “we witnessed our father taking Ghislaine under his wing whereby she became over dependent on his approval and vulnerable to his frequent rapid mood swings, huge rages and rejections”.

“This led her to becoming very vulnerable to abusive and powerful men who would be able to take advantage of her innate good nature,” they said. “It is striking that Ghislaine did not show any perverse behaviour before she met Epstein. Nor did she show any after leaving him, which she eventually managed to do.”

“The effect of our father’s psychologically abusive treatment of her, foreshadowed Epstein’s own ability to exploit, manipulate and control her,” they claimed.

Maxwell’s attorneys also insisted that she wasn’t hiding when federal agents arrested her in July 2020, but rather feared for her safety following Epstein’s arrest and death – claiming she had gotten “death threats”.

“Tragically, this experience was not new for Ms Maxwell,” her legal team wrote. “Decades earlier, when Ms Maxwell was just a child and her father was a member of Parliament, UK authorities found a ‘hit list’ of potential kidnapping/assassination targets in a safehouse used by the Irish Republican Army. Ms Maxwell’s name was first on the list.”

Maxwell’s sentencing will take place nearly three months after Judge Alison Nathan rejected her request for a new trial following revelations that a juror in her case did not disclose childhood sexual abuse during jury selection.

Juror No 50, Scotty David, sat for interviews following Maxwell’s trial during which he talked about experiencing childhood sexual abuse. David claimed that he told other jurors about this, in order for them to understand facts from a victim’s point of view.

Nathan questioned David on 8 March about this omission. David, who was granted immunity to testify, claimed that he was distracted while completing the screening questionnaire.

Nathan ruled that she believed David’s explanation – that he had made an “honest mistake” – was true and “that Juror 50 was not biased and would not have been stricken for cause even if he had answered each question on the questionnaire accurately.”

Lawyers Warn Prince Andrew We Will Find You in Bid to Serve New Legal Papers

Lawyer Spencer Kuvin, who acts for Caroline Kaufman, wants a statement from Prince Andrew and is threatening to formally serve him with legal papers in person if necessary

Daily Mirror 19 JUN 2022

Prince Andrew faces being dragged back into the Jeffery Epstein sex scandal as he attempts a comeback.

A lawyer says the Duke was at American paedophile Epstein’s mansion the night Epstein raped a teenager there.

Spencer Kuvin wants a statement from Andrew and is threatening to formally serve him with legal papers in person if necessary.

Mr Kuvin acts for Caroline Kaufman, 28, who claims Epstein attacked her at his New York home when Prince Andrew was a guest there in December 2010.

He said: “We are looking into serving Prince Andrew. We’d get a subpoena issued here in the States which is brought over to England and localised, then we would have to locate him and have him served. He should be a fairly easy target to locate.”

Reports last week suggested Andrew is eyeing a return to public life.

One source was quoted as saying the Duke feels that his titles should be reinstated “and his position recognised and respected”.

The Prince, 62, lost his HRH and other titles over claims by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre that he sexually assaulted her three times when she was 17.

Prince Andrew could be dragged back into the Jeffery Epstein sex scandal

Andrew said he had no memory of meeting her but in February he settled the US civil case out of court for an undisclosed sum, said to be millions.

At the time he pledged to support the “fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims” in a statement.

But Florida-based Mr Kuvin added: “Frankly, it’s an embarrassment to the Royal Family he is attempting a comeback at all.

Caroline Kaufman, pictured as a teen, claims she was raped by Epstein

“If Prince Andrew wants to stay true to his word I urge him to provide a statement about what happened the night Caroline was attacked. He should be volunteering, we shouldn’t be looking into serving him to get his deposition.

“Caroline wants to know what he has to say. She wants all witnesses to come forward.”

Financier Epstein hanged himself in jail in 2019 aged 66. A representative for the Duke declined to comment.

Prince Andrew Could be Next Target For Prosecutors as Ghislaine Maxwell Sentenced

After Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison, lawyers outside New York’s federal court called for other associates of the pair to be investigated – including Prince Andrew

Daily Mirror 29 JUN 2022

Victims of Ghislaine Maxwell told how she had “opened the door to hell” today as the fallen socialite was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

One, Juliette Bryant, told a court of the nightmares she had suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein after being trafficked by Maxwell, and said: “Simply put, she is a monster.”

Tonight, lawyers outside New York’s federal court called for other associates of the pair to be investigated – including Prince Andrew.

Brad Edwards, who secured the Duke of York’s sex accuser Virginia Giuffre a £12million out-of-court settlement, appealed to the FBI not to stop its investigation.

Asked about others possibly linked to Maxwell and Epstein, he said: “Let’s hope they’re the next target. If we have anything to do with it, they will be.”

He was backed by top lawyer Spencer Kuvin, who represents several of Epstein and Maxwell’s victims.

The attorney told the Mirror: “Obviously, Andrew is one of the targets they will be looking into.

“He should definitely be concerned, but.. if he did nothing wrong, then come forward and tell the full story to the FBI, not the media.”

Mr Kuvin named other targets, which included another Briton.

In sentencing, Judge Alison Nathane said Maxwell, 60, and Epstein used a “playbook” and the result was “incalculable” damage to their victims.

She said: “A substantial sentence will send an unmistakable message that those who engage in sexual abuse and trafficking of underage victims will be held accountable by the law.

“The rule of law demands, and this court agrees, that whether you are rich or powerful or entirely unknown, nobody is above the law.”

Judge Nathan added that Maxwell was “not being punished in place of Epstein”, calling the crimes “heinous and predatory”. She told Maxwell: “A sentence of 240 months is sufficient and no graver than necessary.”

Maxwell looked at her victims, telling them: “I am sorry for the pain that you experienced.

“I hope my conviction and harsh incarceration brings you pleasure.”

She had arrived in court wearing a prison-issue uniform with shackles around her ankles which rattled as she made her way to her seat.

Maxwell had hoped to serve less than three years with time off for the 22 months she spent on remand.

With good behaviour, she could be released in her mid to late 70s. She was also fined the maximum amount possible, $750,000 (£612,000).

Judge Nathan noted Maxwell was in line for a bequest of £8.2million from Epstein, but Maxwell’s lawyer Bobbi Sternheim said she had not received the money and did not expect to.

Maxwell will be eligible to serve most of her sentence in the UK if she applies for a transfer after three years.

Sternheim requested the Briton be sent to a low-security female prison in Danbury, Connecticut and enrolled in a trauma treatment programme.

Victim Annie Farmer (L) and her lawyer Sigrid McCawley

Lawyer Lisa Bloom, who represents several Epstein victims and a witness who claims to have seen Andrew with Ms Giuffre together, told the Mirror: “We call upon the FBI to fully investigate Prince Andrew.

“Virginia Giuffre’s civil case should be just the beginning. Everyone associated with Epstein and Maxwell should be carefully investigated.”

In January 2020, then US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman, said: “To date, Prince Andrew has provided zero cooperation.”

US investigators later applied to the British government to hand over the Duke to give evidence through a “Mutual Legal Assistance” request to the Home Office, bypassing Buckingham Palace. If approved, the FBI could ask Andrew to be compelled to go to a British court to give evidence under oath as a witness.

The Home Office has refused to comment on the status of the MLA.

Maxwell was convicted last December of sex trafficking minors for her former lover Epstein. Prosecutor Alison Moe told the court: “Maxwell trapped young girls in a horrifying nightmare.

What kind of person flies around on a plane with underage girls so her boyfriend always has someone to touch? To Maxwell, there were two kinds of people in this world – the people who really matter and the people who were disposable.”

The packed New York courtroom sat in silence today as four victims told how they had fallen prey to Maxwell and Epstein.

‘Kate’ was a former model from the UK who told jurors Maxwell invited her to her London home, where she was told to “have a good time” after finding Epstein naked inside. She told the court Maxwell namedropped being a friend of Prince Andrew before asking the victim, 17 at the time, to find someone to give him “a blowj**”.

Kate told Judge Nathan: “She is not sorry and would do it again.”

In her statement, Briton Sarah Ransome, who grew up in Scotland and did not give evidence in the trial, said the two turned her into “nothing more than a sex toy with a heartbeat”.

She said she was so traumatised, she tried to kill herself by leaping off a cliff into shark-infested water on Epstein’s island in the US Virgin Islands. She added: “I was caught by Maxwell and company moments before jumping. That extremely risky escape seemed more appealing than being raped one more time”.

Another victim, Elizabeth Stein – who did not take part in the trial – told how she had an abortion after being raped and trafficked.

She said: “Things happened that were so traumatising that to this day, I’m unable to speak about them.”

At her three-week trial in December, a jury heard Maxwell “served up” underage girls for paedophile Epstein at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

Between 1994 and 2004, Maxwell was Epstein’s “right hand” and paid girls for sexualised massages and even took part in the abuse.

Carolyn testified that she was one of several underprivileged teens who lived near Epstein’s Florida home and took up an offer to give massages in exchange for $100 (£82) bills.

Maxwell made all the arrangements, Carolyn told the jury.

Kate said Maxwell recruited her in London in 1994 when she was 17, inviting her for tea and then asking her back to give Epstein a massage.

‘Jane’ said that in 1994 when she was 14, she was told to follow Epstein into a pool house at his Palm Beach estate, where he performed a sex act. She told the jury: “I was frozen in fear”.

Ms Giuffre, who could not attend today’s hearing due to a medical issue, provided a statement to the court reading: “Together, you (and Epstein) damaged me physically, mentally, sexually, and emotionally. For me and for so many others, you opened the door to hell.

“You deserve to spend the rest of your life in a jail cell.”

Outside court, Maxwell’s lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, said her client had been “pilloried” and “convicted in the court of public opinion”.

She said Maxwell would appeal, and suggested jurors saw her as a stand-in for Epstein – who died in jail awaiting trial – adding: “Clever and cunning to the end, Jeffrey Epstein left Ghislaine Maxwell holding the whole bag.”

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell Were Intimate and She Had Access to Palace, Cop Says

Paul Page, who worked at Buckingham Palace from 1998 to 2004, has claimed they were told to wave Ghislaine Maxwell in when she arrived

Daily Mirror 3 JUL 2022

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell had an 'intimate relationship' and she had 'unrestricted access' to Buckingham Palace, a former royal cop alleges.

Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years earlier this week.

Now Paul Page, who served as an armed protection officer from 1998 to 2004, has claimed they were told to wave her in to Buckingham Palace when she arrived.

He claims he would often see Maxwell coming and going from Andrew's apartments.

Page, who was jailed for fraud in 2009, told The Sun : "She was allowed to enter and exit the Palace night and day at will.

"Myself and my other colleagues formed the opinion they were in some sort of relationship."

Page has also claimed he saw Prince Andrew and Maxwell having an "intimate picnic" in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, right below the Queen's bedroom window.

This is not the first time Page has made such claims.

In January he said in an ITV programme that Maxwell visited Buckingham Palace up to four times in one day.

Mr Page told ITV’s Ranvir Singh: “From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, we suspected that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew.”

He went on: “She kept coming in and out, in and out.”

Andrew and Maxwell have not been linked as lovers but

are known to be friends.

Buckingham Palace did not offer any comment when contacted by The Mirror.

Ghislaine Maxwell Appeals Against Sex Trafficking Conviction

Ghislaine Maxwell has appealed against her child sex trafficking conviction and the 20-year prison term she was handed by a US judge last month.

BBC News 8 JUL 2022.

Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December of recruiting and trafficking four teenage girls for abuse by her then-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein

Epstein took his own life in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial.

Maxwell's appeal process was expected and will likely last several months.

During her trial, her lawyers argued that she was being scapegoated for Epstein's crimes, calling her friendship with the financier the "biggest mistake of her life".

Judge Alison J Nathan rejected attempts to throw out the case, including after Maxwell's lawyers argued that one juror had failed to inform the court that he had been abused as a child.

She also rejected arguments that Maxwell had not been allowed to prepare adequately for her trial, and that prosecutors had waited too long to bring their case against her.

Pronouncing the sentence in June, Judge Nathan said Maxwell's conduct had been "heinous and predatory" and that she "played a pivotal role" in Epstein's abuse.

As well as jail time, the judge imposed a fine of $750,000 (£610,000).

Her lawyer had asked for a sentence of no more than five years.

It remains unclear on what grounds Maxwell plans to appeal. Her lawyers were not required to give a reason in Thursday's legal filing.

Addressing her victims in the Manhattan courthouse in June, Maxwell said she empathised with them, adding that she hoped her prison sentence would allow the victims "peace and finality".

Maxwell has been in custody since her arrest in July 2020, held mostly at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

The case against the British former socialite has been one of the highest-profile since the emergence of the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to speak out about sexual abuse.

The crimes of Epstein, who mixed with some of the world's most famous people, were first reported in the media in 2005 and he served prison time in Florida in 2008-09 on a state charge of procuring a minor for prostitution.

Following numerous lawsuits, he was arrested again in 2019 in a federal case in New York.

At least eight women wrote letters to Maxwell's judge during her trial describing how they had suffered.

Newsnight Photographer Has Shocking Photo of Prince Andrew That Could Rock Monarchy

It is claimed Prince Andrew insisted the 'jaw-dropping' picture taken on the day never becomes public but an insider close to Newsnight refused to rule out a version appearing in a rumoured new film

Daily Mirror 18 JUL 2022

Andrew reportedly demanded the photo never becomes public

A BBC employee who worked covering Prince Andrew's disastrous Newsnight interview claims to have a photograph that could shatter the Royal Family if it was ever made public.

Andrew agreed to sit down with presenter Emily Maitlis on 14 November 2019 at Buckingham Palace, where he was questioned about his association with paedophile and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Photographer Mark Harrison, who was present during the BBC sit down, took a snap that would cause serious embarrassment if it ever got out, it has been claimed.

A source said the image was 'jaw-dropping' - but offered little more detail.

The Duke of York's car crash interview is reportedly set to be turned into a movie and could star Hugh Grant - and in-the-know producers may want to recreate their own version.

It is understood Andrew insisted the picture taken on the day never becomes public but an insider close to the show teased that everything has a price.

A source said: "It's the kind of thing which would make the public drop their cornflakes, it is definitely not what Andrew would want out there and apparently he insisted that it remained secret.

"Our jaws dropped to the floor when we saw it. It would cause Andrew much embarrassment.

The Duke said he regrets agreeing to the Newsnight interview

"There is, of course, a chance that it will at some point come out for all to see, perhaps if the price is right and of course the movie about the interview is happening so that is a possibility."

A spokeswoman for the Prince declined to comment.

The story of how the BBC obtained the bombshell interview is set to become a film, with the title Scoop.

The fall out from the interview led to the Duke of York pledging to step back from public life - and he made no public appearances at his mother the Queen's recent Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The interview was the beginning of the end of Andrew's life as an active royal

According to entertainment website Deadline, Scoop could star Hugh Grant as the prince - although casting has not begun and a director has not yet been appointed.

The film is being written by British screenwriter Peter Moffat, who told the publication the movie will be "about how the BBC’s Newsnight team got the scoop, then the actual filming of it".

He added: "The other thing is, ‘why did he agree to do it?’.

“How was it that he decided it was a good idea to do a great big long interview with Emily Maitlis on the BBC?”

In the interview, Andrew declined to say he regretted the friendship with Epstein, with his memorable answers including details of his visit to Pizza Express with daughter Princess Beatrice and saying he was medically unable to sweat.

Andrew vehemently denied any accusations of wrongdoing over his links to Epstein, including allegations he had sex with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 years old.

Prince Andrew To Keep Taxpayer-Funded Police Bodyguards After Security Review

The Duke of York's Metropolitan Police and Home Office security detail was assessed after the Queen stripped him of his military affiliations and royal patronages

Daily Mirror 14 AUG 2022

Prince Andrew will keep his state-funded police bodyguards following a review of his security arrangements. But Prince Harry is having to take LEGAL action after his police security detail was removed whilst he was in the UK

The Duke of York's Metropolitan Police and Home Office security detail was assessed after the Queen stripped her second-eldest son of his military affiliations and royal patronages and removed his HRH (His Royal Highness) title.

The decision was made after Virginia Giuffre claimed Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew on three occasions when she was just 17 and brought a legal case against him in the US.

Andrew later agreed to a financial settlement with Ms Giuffre. He has always vehemently denied the claims.

It was originally claimed that the settlement cost £12 million but it was reported last weekend that a reduced deal between £3 million and £5 million was negotiated by Andrew's lawyers.

The Daily Telegraph reported that the Royal and VIP Executive Committee concluded that Andrew was still entitled to the round-the-clock police protection.

He will still be accompanied by a personal protection officer whenever he leaves his home. Permanent security arrangements are in place for the 30-room Royal Lodge on the Queen’s Windsor estate.

Official royal duties are no longer assigned to Andrew. With the exception of horse riding and frequently visiting the Queen, it is not known how he currently fills his time.

The taxpayer pays for his police protection at an estimated cost of between £2 million and £3 million a year.

Andrew's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie lost their taxpayer-funded protection after a row in 2011.

It is thought Prince Charles stepped in after the younger of his nieces racked up huge security costs as she travelled the world on her gap year.

A report published at the time suggested Eugenie spent more than £100,000 of taxpayers' money as she explored India, America, Thailand and South Africa.

She paid for hotels and travel herself, but the massive security bill, including overtime money, was funded by the taxpayer.

Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex also do not have round-the-clock security.

They are only guarded by police protection officers while carrying out official duties and engagements.

The Home Office and Met Police have been contacted for comment.

Jailed Ghislaine Maxwell Becomes Best Pals With One of Most Infamous US Female Killers

Convicted teenage sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, 60, and 65-year-old double murderer Narcy Novack spend hours speaking together at Tallahassee jail in the east of Florida’s state capital

Ghislaine Maxwell Was Sued For £1million by Her OWN Legal Team Over Unpaid Fees

Daily Mirror UK 30 AUG 2022

As one of the most *notorious *killers in America, Narcy Novack does not on the face of it seem a natural pal for British former socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

But the pair have become close over a shared taste for the millionaire’s *lifestyle, long sentences and their ages, insiders have claimed.

Convicted teenage sex trafficker Maxwell, 60, and 65-year-old double murderer Novack spend hours speaking together at Tallahassee jail in the east of Florida’s state capital.

The US con is a feared figure among inmates after having her hotel heir husband and mother-in-law bumped off and her friendship with Maxwell will no doubt offer the Brit some protection in the brutal prison world.

A source there said: “Once inside, Ghislaine gravitated towards Narcy.

“Because of her length of time inside and the brutality of her crime, she is treated like a female don.

“All the younger girls address her as ‘Miss Novack’ out of respect.

“Ghislaine will have a modicum of protection through her friendship, but given their ages and millionaire *backgrounds, they were always destined to get on well.

“Together, they spend hours talking, laughing and joking.”

Maxwell is serving 20 years after being convicted last December of luring young girls for her disgraced ex, financier Jeffrey Epstein, to molest.

Despite their crimes, *Tallahassee is categorised as a low-security prison that has a range of courses and work placements for inmates. There are apprenticeships in several fields, including gardening, baking, cooking, and *housekeeping. Yoga, pilates, weights, softball and frisbee are offered as leisure pursuits.

While the two new prison pals both enjoyed tycoon lives on the outside, that is where their similarities end.

Maxwell, inmate 02879-509, was born into a life of privilege, partying with princes, stars and aristocracy. But ruthless Novack worked her way up in US society through stripping and sex.

Novack is currently serving a prison sentence in Florida

The interior of Bernice Novack's car, found bloodied outside her Fort Lauderdale home

She regularly swapped lovers for a richer, more wealthy man and eventually met *multi-millionaire playboy Ben Novak Jr in her strip club. Years later, she was the mastermind behind the brutal murder of the 52-year-old and his mother Bernice, 86, in a twisted plot motivated by greed and revenge over claims Ben had cheated.

The pair were killed three months apart by hitmen hired by voodoo fan Novack and arranged by her bus driver brother Cristobal Veliz.

Bernice was the widow of Ben Novack Sr, who owned the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel, frequented by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra.

She was found dead in a pool of blood on April 5, 2009, in the garage of her Fort Lauderdale home. It was ruled she died in a fall. But when Ben, who stood to inherit a £8.5million fortune, detectives reopened the case.

Ben and Narcy Novack

They found Bernice been battered with a monkey wrench. The medical examiner believes she had stumbled from place to place in the home but eventually fell in the garage.

Many believe Ben’s suspicions had grown about Novack’s *involvement, but the assassins struck again before he could make any accusations.

Novack had accompanied him to a convention for his company at the Hilton Rye Town in Rye Brook, New York. The two hitmen said at her trial Novack had let them into the couple’s suite on the morning of July 12, 2009.

Ben was asleep when he was attacked in his bed with dumbbells.

The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach

They bound him with duct tape - and Novack threw them a pillow to muffle her dying husband’s screams.

She ordered the men to gouge out his eyes with a knife so, despite being dead, he could never look at a woman.

Novack later pretended she had found her husband’s body.

But police were suspicious from the off and struggled to believe her story.

She the stole more than £90,000 from his company, paying off the killers, Alejandro Garcia and Joel Gonzales. They eventually confessed in 2010. In exchange for lesser sentences of 210 months and 120 months respectively, the pair co-operated with police leading to Novack and her brother being found guilty of the murders.

During their trial, the siblings blamed Novack’s daughter, May Abad, for orchestrating the killings, claiming she was *motivated by benefits from Ben’s estate. But the jury saw through their lies.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been sent to FCI Tallahassee in Florida

Assistant US Attorney Elliott Jacobson described the pair as “pathological liars”, adding: “They are *extraordinarily dangerous sociopaths.”

Ben had grown up in one of Florida’s most affluent and famous *families. But using his business skills, he made his own millions through a company that organised events and and conventions.

Wealthy and eligible, Ben attracted the attention of many women, including Ecuador-born Narcissa Cira Veliz Pacheco, also known as Narcy.

When they met, she was a blonde stripper working in Florida under the name of Sylvia. Her background was one of poverty and struggles.

Narcy married Ben in 1991, much to the disapproval of Bernice and with his money, she transformed into the role of the trophy wife.

The couple were dripping in jewellery and lived in a £2.4million home. They seemed to have it all from the outside, but their marriage was fatally flawed.

Once, police were called to their home to find Ben tied in what looked like a kidnapping attempt - but Novack insisted it was part of a sex game.

During her trial, it emerged he had paid porn actress Rebecca Bliss for sex. The couple went on to have an affair

When Novack found out, she was petrified Ben would leave her and she would end up struggli
ng again.

Their prenuptial agreement meant she would only be left with £55,000, not his millions. First, she tried and failed to pay Bliss off. In her fury, Novack hatched a plot to keep hold of his £8.5 million fortune.

Later the X-rated star would testify that after the rejection, Novack told her: “If I can’t have him, no one will.”

Ghislaine Maxwell Does a Shawshank Redemption as She's Given Cushy New Job in Jail

Disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell's 'life could not be more different' in prison as she has has been given a luxurious job there while she serves her 20-year sentence

Daily Mirror UK 1 SEP 2022

Ghislaine Maxwell has “done a Shawshank Redemption ” by being given a cushy job in her prison’s library helping inmates.

The disgraced British socialite is working in the legal department at low-security FCI Tallahassee in Florida – walking straight into the position to the fury of other lags.

When not socialising in her unit, the convicted teen sex trafficker can be found behind a desk handing out legal forms.

Maxwell, 60, has been given the privileged role by prison bosses, working weekdays in her outfit of matching khaki trousers and shirt.

A source said: “Many of the girls were p***** at how she swanned in and was given such a plum job.

“They joke she has done a Shawshank Redemption and landed on her feet with her library gig.

“There are girls inside who have washed thousands of floors, peeled thousands of vegetables, done all manner of things, including keeping their noses clean, hoping for such a gig. Yet Ghislaine is gifted it.”

The source added: “She is highly intelligent. The IQ of most of in there, you can imagine, is low, but all the girls know you have to earn the right for such a job.”

The Shawshank Redemption movie from 1994 has lead character Andy Dufresne, portrayed by Tim Robbins, as an inmate who runs a prison library after being sentenced for the murder of his wife.

Yet the position for Maxwell, the daughter of the late publisher Robert Maxwell, is still a most spectacular fall from grace.

She was once, not least with the help of her paedo ex Jeffrey Epstein, a central figure in the partying lives of billionaires, the bourgeoisie, princes, and presidents.

The prison insider added: “Ghislaine’s life could not be more different. Gone are Prada clothes and foie gras. Her posh accent stands out a mile while she is surrounded by killers, drug runners, fraudsters and other sex offenders. If only her pals could see her now.”

Maxwell, who allegedly introduced Prince Andrew to his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre, is not due for released before July 2037,

She is with the general prison population in Unit B South – a dormitory of 120 beds separated into cul-de-sacs of four bunks.

Maxwell can visit the store once a fortnight and spend a maximum of £306 at a time. Inmates can earn money through various jobs or people can top up their accounts.

Maxwell, while awaiting trial, made 100-plus complaints about harsh conditions at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre.

An insider said: “Tallahassee is nothing like that, it is a world away.”

Ghislaine Maxwells' Tribute to Dear Friend Prince Andrew in Bombshell Prison Interview

Convicted Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell Says She ‘feels So bad’ For 'Dear Friend' Prince Andrew in Bombshell Interview

Ghislaine Maxwell has opened up about her “dear friend” Prince Andrew during an explosive first interview from prison.

BBC 16 OCT 2022

Melania Trump, Prince Andrew, Gwendolyn Beck and Jeffrey Epstein at a party at the Mar-a-Lago club, Palm Beach, Florida in 2000.

In a bombshell first interview from prison after being convicted for sex trafficking teenage girls, disgraced former socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has spoken about her “dear friend” Prince Andrew.

The right-hand woman and one-time girlfriend of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein spoke to documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak as part of an upcoming CBS-Paramount Plus special.

“I feel so bad for him,” she said, Mail on Sunday reports.

The 60-year-old daughter of the late publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell was convicted of playing an instrumental role in the sexual abuse of multiple teenage girls between 1994 and 2004 in December and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

She appeared shaken when told that Prince Andrew - who she has known since her days as a student at Oxford University in the 1980s - claimed they were never close through his lawyers.

“I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction” she replied sadly.

“I follow what is happening to him. He is paying such a price for the association. I consider him a dear friend. I care about him."

The two bombshell interviews took place face-to-face at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre in June and remotely from her current jail in Tallahassee, Florida.

Maxwell said she regrets her close association with the billionaire financier who was found dead in his cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, because it turned her into a “wicked witch.”

“Meeting Epstein was the greatest mistake of my life,” she admitted.

“And obviously, if I could go back today, I would avoid meeting him, and I would make different choices.”

Prince Andrew served in the military as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War but lost his military titles after outcry over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and allegations he abused Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims when she was 17.

He has repeatedly and vehemently denied the claims and settled out of court with Ms Giuffre, making no admission of guilt.

How Prince Andrew Fills His Days Since His Fall From Grace

New documentary reveals how Prince Andrew falls from grace on a royal and international scale

Prince Andrew: Banished Premiered Last Week on Pea****

BBC 22 OCT 2022

Prince Andrew's good days seem to be far away from him as a new explosive documentary takes aim at him.

Prince Andrew: Banished premiered last week on Pea****; its description on the platform calls the film "the story of how, through arrogance and lust, the Duke of York's scandals and his friendship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein nearly sank the British monarchy."

According to reports, The documentary achieves a no-holds-barred, highly critical deep-dive into a man whose nicknames ranged from “The Playboy Prince” to “Air Miles Andy.”

Interviewees included everyone from palace guards and journalists to socialites and royal secretaries, with almost no one having a positive thing to say about teh disgraced prince.

People, who interviewed for the documentary, expressed disbelief at how he had conducted himself, in a manner wholly removed from that of the rest of his family, even before news broke of his association with Epstein and accusations of abuse by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

“Prince Andrew was one of the lads,” Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, as per Independent, says in the film. "He was very mischievous. And of course, Prince Phillip loved this boy who was everything that perhaps Charles hadn’t been. So he had even more attention lavished on him."

Ghislaine Maxwell Spotted Jogging in Sunshine Behind Jails' Barbed Wire

Dressed in a standard-issue grey T-shirt, matching sweat shorts and trainers, convicted teen sex trafficker

Ghislaine Maxwell pounds out the miles in Tallahassee, Florida, US

Running in the Florida sun under which she once enticed and groomed minor girls for abuse, Ghislaine Maxwell jogs along her prison's track.

Ghislaine Maxwell's early morning runs are part of the monotonous and controlled regime she lives now under

Dressed in a standard-issue grey T-shirt, matching sweat shorts and trainers, the convicted teen sex trafficker pounds out the miles, locked up and locked alone in her thoughts.

Only the presence of uniformed warders and roll upon roll of razor-sharp barbered wire provides a reminder that the women dressed in similar attire are actual prisoners.

Prince Andrew's pal Maxwell - pictured outside for the first time in almost a decade - was captured behind Federal Correction Institute Tallahassee's fences, where she is set to spend the next 20 years of her life.

Her early morning runs are part of the monotonous and controlled regime she lives now under.

The four-lane prison track is a world away from New York's Fifth Avenue sidewalks, where she once shopped, partied and dined with her aristocratic friends.

The convicted teen sex trafficker pounds out the miles, locked up and locked alone in her thoughts

Despite her age, the 60-year-old is known among inmates to be a fitness fanatic, sometimes beating other, much younger women in a race.

"Ghislaine is incredibly fit," said a prison source.

"She runs almost every day, and when not jogging on the track, she will walk with one of her friends.

"For her age, she is incredibly active and does a 40 minutes session completing lap after lap without stopping before she needs to be back inside.

The disgraced daughter of crooked media tycoon Robert Maxwell was captured over several days, exercising inside the prison fences

"She is happy to be allowed out in the open once again, where she has at least some semblance of freedom.

"When not working in the law library, she stays outside in the sun for hours.

"She is very, very sociable."

As the Mirror's exclusive pictures and videos show, Maxwell maintains her fitness with a daily routine.

We watched as she pounded out of the 400m asphalt track inside the low-security prison and chatted animatedly with a friend while laughing hysterically.

The disgraced British socialite regularly completes eight laps while walking the course with her much younger pal on other days.

FCI Tallahassee is only a few hours from the Palm Beach mansion of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, where she enticed and groomed minor girls to be abused at his hands.

Maxwell was sentenced in June after being found guilty of recruiting his victims and trafficking underage girls for him to sexual abuse.

The billionaire Wall Street financier and convicted sex offender killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

Epstein had been awaiting his own sex trafficking trial.

Following her sentencing in June and after more than 500 days of being confined inside New York's tough Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC), Maxwell, by her own admission, is enjoying her new home.

"I saw the sunlight for the first time, and I saw grass for the first time. So that was lovely," she said shortly after her arrival.

"And the food is actually better here by a large margin."

Maxwell is in FCI Tallahassee as her offences are too severe for her to be placed in an open prison – the usual destination for white-collar criminals. But her prison is hardly the Gulag.

It has a running track, a softball pitch, a basketball court, and manicured gardens.

It is where, according to America's Bureau of Prisons, inmate 02879-509 as Maxwell is known in the system, will be held until May 17, 2037.

It is a far cry from the MDC, in which Maxwell complained more than 100 times about her treatment.

At one point, her family even petitioned the United Nations, highlighting conditions, including her being deprived of sleep by guards at the jail.

Her prison has a running track, a softball pitch, a basketball court, and manicured gardens

"She is awakened constantly at night and has been subjected, for the 500+ days of her detention, to a 'suicide watch' – completely inappropriate in the case of a non-suicidal person – involving a flashlight shone every 15 minutes on her face to check that she is breathing, literally preventing her from sleeping," the petition stated.

Maxwell was also repeatedly searched throughout the day and claimed she was inappropriately sexually touched by guards on numerous occasions during the searches.

At one point, her lawyers claimed another inmate placed a $1 million bounty on her head.

But now firmly settled into Tallahassee, Maxwell has spoken about how much better her treatment has been - a move that earned her night in Special Housing Unit (SHU) as punishment.

"Everybody here so far has been extremely professional, and I have not experienced any of the gross violations of my rights that I experienced at MDC," she said in a recent interview.

"I don't feel unsafe. And I am perfectly able to live and work here."

However, the Mirror reveals that Maxwell was taken out of the general population last week and put in the SHU.

It came after she was reprimanded for her involvement with the press while inside.

A typical day for Maxwell starts before sunlight.

Before heading to her job in the prison's law library where she works Monday to Thursday, she is served her breakfast between 5.30 and 6.30am.

She and inmates from her "B South unit" dormitory are called to the prison canteen to pick up their food served on a throwaway styrofoam tray.

Typically, it will consist of a muffin, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, and milk.

By 7.30am, she has to have her bed made and be "inspection ready" dressed in her work uniform - a button-up shirt and matching khaki trousers.

Outside such hours and on the weekend, Maxwell is allowed to wear her own clothes, known as "grades".

The 60-year-old is known among inmates to be a fitness fanatic

Once two officers complete a head count of the dorm, it is off to work for the disgraced socialite before returning to her dormitory.

Maxwell has her lunch served between 11am and 11.30am and dinner between 4.30pm and 5pm.

On the weekend, she is served roast beef, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables for her evening meal.

Once finished, she returns to her dorm, where she chats for hours with her new pal, Narcy Novack.

As the Mirror revealed, the 65-year-old is serving life after masterminding the brutal death of her millionaire hotel-heir husband, Ben Novack Jr and his mother.

The former stripper had them assassinated as she feared her husband, 52, was set to leave her for a porn star and needed both him and his mother, Bernice, 87, dead to inherit his fortune.

Maxwell has launched an appeal against her sentence, but if unsuccessful, plans are already afoot to have an application lodged to serve her time in Britain.

"Calculations have been carried out as to where Ghislaine would serve the least time behind bars," a source told the Mirror.

"She is happy to be freed on licence just to get out of prison, and her best option for getting out quicker is back in the UK."

With good behaviour, Maxwell could see almost three years taken off her sentence in the US.

But after three years in the States, she is entitled to apply to serve the remainder of her sentence in the UK.

If successful, it would mean if Maxwell were to transfer to a British prison, she would have only 91 months - seven years and seven months left - before she is eligible to be released on licence.

She would be 70 by the time she would be freed, not 75 as her US prison record shows.

Jeffrey Epstein Victims Sue Several Major Banks

Two women who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse have filed lawsuits against JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.

Prince Andrew: The Musical Reveals Cast

BBC News 27 NOV

They accuse the banks of ignoring "red flags" about their client and benefiting from the late financier's alleged sex-trafficking operations.

The disgraced financier took his own life in a prison cell while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

Both lawsuits were filed in New York on Thursday as class action cases.

They were brought by lawyers who have represented dozens of the deceased billionaire's accusers.

The women, who are also seeking financial damages, are not named in the filings, which were first reported by the Wall Street Journal newspaper and have been seen by the BBC.

According to claims in the lawsuit filed against JP Morgan Chase, one woman, described as a former ballet dancer, was abused by Epstein and his associates between 2006 and 2013.

It alleges that JP Morgan knew that its accounts were being used for trafficking because of the identity of the individuals withdrawing large sums of cash, as well as "Epstein's well-documented criminal history".

JP Morgan Chase declined to comment when contacted by BBC News.

In a separate lawsuit against Deutsche Bank, another woman claims she was trafficked for sex by Epstein for 15 years, starting in 2003 when she first moved to New York.

It claims that in some instances Epstein would pay the woman directly in cash for sex acts.

The lawsuit suggests that the wealthy Epstein turned to Deutsche Bank when ties were severed with JP Morgan around 2013.

It also refers to previous findings by New York banking regulators about Deutsche Bank's business with Epstein.

They concluded that "although the bank properly classified Epstein as high-risk, [it] failed to scrutinise the activity in the accounts for the kinds of activity that were obviously implicated by Epstein's past".

Deutsche Bank previously admitted that it made a "critical mistake" when taking on Epstein as a client.

But a spokesman for the investment bank said on Thursday: "We believe this claim lacks merit and will present our arguments in court."

One of the lawyers, Bradley Edwards, said in a written statement: "Epstein and his co-conspirators could not have victimised without assistance from wealthy individuals and financial institutions. We will not stop fighting for the survivors until everyone is held responsible. This is a big step but not the end.

He added: "The time has come for the real enablers to be held responsible, especially his wealthy friends and the financial institutions that played an integral role."

Ghislaine Maxwell's EX Husband Finds New Girlfriend as Shamed Wife Spends Christmas in Jail

Ghislaine Maxwell's husband Scott Borgerson, 47, is dating Kris McGinn, a 50-year-old journalist from Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts - his relationship with the sex trafficker ended in jail

BBC 25 DEC 2022.

Scott Borgerson and Ghislaine Maxwell

Scott Borgerson takes a morning walk with his daughter and girlfriend Kris McGinn

As Ghislaine Maxwell spends her third miserable Christmas in jail, this image of her husband with his new girlfriend will be a bitter reminder of the life she once had.

As he rebuilds his life without his sex trafficker wife, Scott Borgerson, 47, is dating Kris McGinn, a 50-year-old journalist from Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, where he still lives in the £5.8million seafront mansion he once shared with Maxwell.

Mr Borgerson wed British socialite Maxwell in 2016, but ended the relationship with a phone call while she was in a New York jail awaiting trial.

And this week he showed just how much he has moved on as he and Ms McGinn went Christmas shopping on a wintery day in Massachusetts.
Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal in is jeopardy as her estranged husband refused to pay her legal bill

In June, Maxwell was jailed for 20 years for trafficking girls for paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She will spend her 61st birthday on Christmas Day on her bunk in a dormitory at Florida’s Tallahassee prison, while Mr Borgerson will most likely be with Ms McGinn.

The yoga-loving mum of two rents a modest home in Manchester-by-the-Sea, where she is a journalist at the 134-year-old local newspaper, The Manchester Cricket, covering food and culture for the area’s posh residents.

She worked under the byline Kris McGinn Straub until June 2020, when she dropped her married name.

It is unclear how she met Mr Borgerson, who has two children by his first wife Rebecca, although locals suggest it was over their shared love of dogs.

One said: “Those two are like chalk and cheese in terms of their visibility in the town. Whereas we see Kris daily pottering around, Scott is like a ghost.

“He is seldom seen and only ventures out on rare occasions.”

“What is good though is that Rebecca has been fantastic. She is accepting of Kris and has seen her several times. It must be a relief that the new woman in his life is so wholesome given Maxwell’s convictions.”

Ghislaine Maxwell briefly lived at the Phippen-Smith home with Scott Borgerson

Ms McGinn is a frequent visitor to Mr Borgerson’s seven-bedroom colonial style home and is seen driving around town in a £48,000 Chevrolet Tahoe she acquired soon after they began dating.

The SUV is registered in neighbouring New Hampshire, where Mr Borgerson and Maxwell owned a home in Bradford.

It was there that Maxwell was finally arrested by the FBI in July 2020, charged with recruiting and trafficking underage girls for her one-time lover Epstein to sexually abuse.

The billionaire Wall Street financier and convicted sex offender killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 as he awaited his own sex trafficking trial.

Mr Borgerson met Maxwell nine years ago, around the time they were both pictured speaking at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2013. He was still married to Rebecca, 47, a devout Christian.

She discovered her husband was having an affair when he told her he was going to give a speech in London, but she found he was actually in Miami with Maxwell.

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison

Their divorce was finalised in December 2015, leaving him free to wed Maxwell the following year as she sold her New York townhouse for £13.2million. The marriage was so secret even Maxwell’s own family did not know about it.

An insider said: “Despite Ghislaine being 14 years older, Scott thought he’d found his soulmate.

“What has transpired though, has been a nightmare that has turned Scott’s life completely upside down.

“But as he continues to fight the legacy left by Ghislaine, Kris has helped put a smile back on his face.”

Court documents show that Maxwell transferred £15million to a trust controlled by Mr Borgerson.

This is the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee - where Maxwell is in prison

Last month, it was reported that Maxwell’s appeal against her 20-year jail sentence lay in doubt as Mr Borgerson was in a dispute with her lawyers. Her defence team claimed they were owed for a £700,000 bill and needed £820,000 to lodge an appeal.

Haddon, Morgan and Foreman had filed a lawsuit against Maxwell, her brother Kevin and Mr Borgerson in August, trying to recoup the unpaid legal fees. Mr Borgerson was later dismissed from the suit.

Until the money is transferred, Maxwell’s lawyers are unlikely to meet a January deadline for the appeal, leaving Maxwell to face the prospect that she might die in jail.

Mr Borgerson purchased the Manchester-by-the-Sea home using money from Maxwell, according to the complaint from her law firm. Earlier this month, it emerged that under an agreement “accidentally” included in the filings of Maxwell’s legal team, Mr Borgerson would have to use money from the sale of the Manchester-by-the-Sea house to help cover her legal fees if the cash could not be collected from Maxwell or her brother, Kevin.

We can reveal a second home Mr Borgerson owned in a trendy Boston neighbourhood sold in May for £1.8million.

On Thursday night, Mr Borgerson was unavailable for comment.

Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell Takes Exam For 99p an Hour Prison Call Centre Job

Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell will be paid 99p per hour to flog cut-price internet, TV and phone bundles deals but she needs to pass a prison literacy test at FCI Tallahassee Florida first

BBC 22 JAN 2023

Ghislaine Maxwell, pictured in Los Angeles before her arrest, will be tested to see if she has the skills needed for the prison job (

Oxford-educated Ghislaine Maxwell will have a literacy test to see if she has the skills to work in a US prison call centre.

If the disgraced British socialite passes she will earn 99p an hour selling cut-price internet, TV and phone bundles for a telecommunications giant.

Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

The company outsources some of its call centre work to Florida’s FCI Tallahassee female prison, where she is held.

She will be paid three times more than her current role in the jail law library but she will need a lot of hours to pay off the £644,000 fine imposed by her trial judge.

A prison insider said: “Many of the girls work in the call centre. Customers would never know they are talking to a drug dealer, armed robber, killer or in *Ghislaine’s case, a sex trafficker.

“The girls have been joking if she does move jobs, callers will think they’ve called Buckingham Palace with her posh accent.

“Being on the phones allows the girls contact with the outside world. Some find it a lifeline.”

Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 of sex-trafficking minors, conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity for her former boyfriend, financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Convicted teen sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell seen outside for the first time in almost a decade as she is held for 20 years inside FCI Tallahassee Florida on Tallahassee, October 24 2022

She was also found guilty of transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and conspiracy to sex-traffic minors.

She was sentenced last June and moved to Tallahassee.

Her new prospective role is a far cry from the career she once knew.

Her dad, crooked tycoon Robert Maxwell, made her a director at Oxford United, the *football club he owned. He also set her up with a company supplying corporate gifts.

She founded a private members’ club for women and was a director at Jemma Kidd’s make-up company, had her own consulting *business and a charity called Terramar.

During her trial, it emerged that from 1994 to 2007, Maxwell received almost £26million from Epstein, who later committed suicide in prison.

It was also found she had transferred big sums to husband Scott Borgerson, 44, from whom she is now estranged.

She was sentenced to 20 years in prison last year

Ghislaine Maxwell Claims Infamous Prince Andrew Photo is FAKE and Has No Memory' of It

The convicted sex offender claims that the infamous photo of Prince Andrew with his arm around
Virginia Roberts - in which Maxwell can be seen grinning in the background - is not real

BBC 23 JAN 2023

Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed that the infamous photo of Prince Andrew with his arm around sex accuser Virginia Roberts was faked and says she can’t remember the pair ever meeting.

The 61-year-old convicted sex offender and former socialite is currently serving a 20 year sentence at a Florida jail for luring young girls to massage rooms for the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein between 1994 and 2004.

Prince Andrew has long been connected to both Maxwell and the late Epstein - who was found dead in a prison cell in August 2019 aged 66.

Ms Giuffre brought a civil case alleging Prince Andrew had forced her to have sex with him on three occasions - at Ghislaine Maxwell's London home, at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and in the Virgin Islands - in 2001 when she was 17 years old.

Prince Andrew denies the allegations and later agreed to an out of court settlement with his accuser. The settlement is not an admission of guilt and the Duke of York continues to deny any wrongdoing.

The Duke of York was famously photographed with his hand around the waist of then-teenager Virginia Guiffre at Maxwell's London home.

Despite Maxwell being clearly visible in the photo as she stood grinning in the background, the disgraced former socialite has told Jeremy Kyle in his TalkTV show that she believes the image is fake.

Controversial talk show host Kyle, 57, has interviewed Maxwell for a special episode of his series, due to air on Monday night and billed as ‘Ghislaine Behind Bars’.

Viewers will see Maxwell argue: “I have no memory of them meeting. And I don’t think that picture is real.

“There is no original of that photo, (just) copies of copies and parts of it, according to some experts, look like it has been photoshopped. I don’t remember her in my home.”

She adds: “I know that Virginia travelled with Jeffrey, and so it’s entirely possible.

“It wasn’t something so outrageously out of left field that it couldn’t have happened.

“But the photo doesn’t appear to be real. And I don’t recall it being taken. I have no memory of Virginia and Prince Andrew meeting.”

The upcoming interview looks set to draw the crimes of Epstein and the accusations against Prince Andrew back into the spotlight.

Explaining his reasoning for interviewing Maxwell from FCI Tallahassee prison in Florida, Kyle said: “Ghislaine Maxwell will be speaking for the first time from inside prison. She’s the most notorious female inmate on the planet.

“But since being jailed for sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell has kept her silence, until now.”

He added: “She lifts the lid on Epstein, Prince Andrew and even our late Queen. This is Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars and in her own words.”

The announcement about the special episode - which is scheduled to air on TalkTV on Monday night - has divided TV fans.

Many have taken to social media to slam the planned episode, with one asking: “Why are you giving her airtime?”

Ghislaine Maxwells’ Blistering Attack on Prince Andrews’ Sex Abuse Accuser

Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed Prince Andrew’s sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre has a 'faulty memory' and questions how 'anyone can rely on what she says'

BBC 25 JAN 2023

Ghislaine Maxwell launched a full frontal attack on Prince Andrew’s sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre's refuting her account of events.

The Brit said Giuffre's memory is "faulty" and "should be questioned,” adding “the way it has been described would have been impossible”.

Maxwell told TalkTV she “hadn’t any memory of going to Tramp,” the London nightclub Giuffre famously claims she went to with the duke in 2001 before she claims they had sex.

She added she wouldn’t have gone “certainly not in the outfit I would have worn”.

Maxwell then said: "Her (Giuffre) stories have changed so many times about what happens, when it happens, how it happens with different versions and each time she speaks it's a different version.

“In fact, if you look at her BBC interview on Panorama, I believe she says he (Andrew) puked on her face. That’s the only time she has ever said that.”

Maxwell continued her blistering attack moving on to Giuffre’s credibility.

She added: “I read her deposition, and in her deposition, her statements are very categorical, and her stories are very detailed and elaborate, but if her memory is so poor, how can you rely on anything she says?

Ghislaine Maxwell claims she has 'no memory' of meeting Prince Andrew accuser

“I don’t know on which is that her memory is so bad that you can’t really credit anything she says or it's more disingenuous than that. I can’t tell you which it is only she knows definitively the answer to that.

“I think once you retract on two men you make claims against on the grounds that your memory is faulty. Like I said, I think you have to question everything she says.”

Ms Giuffre, 38, recently withdrew a sex abuse allegation against US lawyer Alan Dershowtiz and admitted she “may have made a mistake”.

Maxwell blasted Giuffre in the TALKTV interview

In November, Giuffre was forced into a humiliating climbdown after she sued Epstein’s famed US lawyer, professor Alan Dershowitz, for defamation.

The lawsuit came after the attorney, like Andrew had, vehemently denied her allegations.

For years, Giuffre had publicly maintained that he had sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager and that he had sex with her when she was underage.

Maxwell said Prince Andrew is paying a 'high price' for being associated with her

In a joint statement announcing a settlement, Giuffre said, “I have long believed that I was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Alan Dershowitz.

"However, I was very young at the time, it was a very stressful and traumatic environment, and Mr Dershowitz has, from the beginning, consistently denied these allegations.

“I now recognise I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr Dershowitz,” her statement said.

Meanwhile, Maxwell has claimed Epstein devastated her life and hurt many people she loves.

Speaking from her prison cell in America, the convicted sex trafficker, 61, refused to describe herself as a victim but declared she wishes she had never met her ex-boyfriend.

She also told Jeremy Kyle how she believes Epstein was murdered in prison. The sex offender was found in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled that his death was a suicide by hanging.

Maxwell was arrested in 2020 on five charges that she conspired with Epstein to sexually abuse minors. In 2020, Maxwell was found guilty of five out of the six charges in her trial, including sex trafficking a minor.

In June 2022, she was sentenced in a New York court to 20 years imprisonment.

When quizzed by Kyle about if she considers herself a victim of Epstein too, she said: "Well, I don't actually love the use of the word 'victim’ per se because I think it's used a lot and bandied about a lot.

"But clearly my association by the fact that I worked for him and spent time with him and knew him has devastated my life and hurt many people that I love and hold dear around me."

Maxwell says Epstein devastated her life

Kyle continued to ask the former socialite if she thinks her friends would accept her if she won her appeal.

"Well, I can't know what my friends will do and won't do. My focus won't be on that," Maxwell told the TV presenter from prison.

"I will always turn to what I have now decided that will form the rest of my life, which is helping other people who have been or are incarcerated."

Elsewhere during her interview with Kyle - which TalkTV say she was not paid for - Maxwell refused to apologise to Epstein's victims and women who feel betrayed by her.

When given the opportunity by Kyle to apologise, she said: "I say Epstein has died and they should take their disappointment and upset out on the authorities that allowed that to happen.

"And, as I said, I hope that they have some closure via the judicial process that took place.

"And I wish them, er.....time is ticking on and to be able to have a productive and good life going forward. And that's what I hope for them."

Maxwell's comments come as it's reported Prince Andrew has amassed a £10million 'war chest' to launch a legal case against Virginia Giuffre.

Ms Giuffre brought a civil case alleging Andrew had sex with her on three occasions in 2001 when she was 17 years old.

Andrew has always denied all allegations and settled a US civil sex abuse case with Ms Giuffre outside of court for a reported £12million. The settlement is not an admission of guilt by Andrew, who continues to deny any wrongdoing.

But now it has been reported that he is seeking to clear his name after previously being “pressured” into settling the case to avoid overshadowing the Platinum Jubilee.

Elsewhere during her TalkTV interview on Monday night, Maxwell shared her belief Epstein did not take his own life in 2019, but was instead murdered.

"I believe that he was murdered," Maxwell told Kyle during their pre-recorded interview which aired on Monday night.

"I was shocked. Then I wondered how it had happened? Because as far as I was concerned, he was going to, I was sure he was going to appeal. And I was sure he was covered under the non-prosecution agreement.

"But I wasn't in the indictment. I wasn’t mentioned. I wasn't even one of the co-conspirators."

Epstein was found unresponsive in his Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York, jail cell on August 10 2019. He was later pronounced dead at the New York Downtown Hospital.

The New York City medical examiner ruled that Epstein's death was a suicide by hanging.

Jeffrey Epstein Banks to Face Sex Trafficking Cases

Two banks connected with the late Jeffrey Epstein will face lawsuits over claims they enabled his sex trafficking, a US court has ruled.

Epstein, who had been convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor, had socialised with Prince Andrew, former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton

BBC 22 MAR 2023

Two women who say the financier sexually abused them brought the case against JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.

Judge Jed Rakoff also gave the go-ahead to a case against JP Morgan from the US Virgin Islands.

The banks deny being aware of Epstein's abuses.

In a four-page order Judge Rakoff wrote that the women and Virgin Islands government could try to make the case the banks had "knowingly benefited from participating in a sex trafficking venture".

He also allowed the women to pursue claims the banks were negligent and obstructed enforcement of a federal anti-trafficking law.

He dismissed some of the other claims.

The decision means the banks could be financially liable for their relationships with the American financier if the claims are proven in court.

Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking, was a client of JPMorgan from 2000 to 2013, and of Deutsche Bank from 2013 to 2018.

---Jeffrey Epstein victims sue several major banks

JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, which had both sought to have the lawsuits dismissed, declined to comment on the recent ruling to Reuters.

The move comes after JP Morgan filed a lawsuit against Jess Staley, who handled Epstein's business as a senior executive at the bank, accusing him of failing to disclose potentially damaging information about his client.

Mr Staley went on to serve as chief executive of Barclays after leaving JP Morgan. He stepped down in 2021 after an investigation into his ties to Epstein.

At the time he said he would contest the findings.

Prosecutors in 2019 accused him of running a "vast network" of underage girls for sex.

King Charles and Prince Andrews' Relationship Hits All-Time Low After Fury Over £30m Home

In the run up to King Charles' upcoming coronation, his relationship with Prince Andrew has reportedly hit an all-time low amid a row over the £30million Windsor Lodge

BBC 13 APR 2023

King Charles and Prince Andrew’s relationship has reportedly hit an all-time low after a furious row over a £30 million home.

The Royal Lodge in Windsor, the £30 million home at the heart of the brother's fallout

In the run-up to Charles’ coronation on May 6, Charles has found himself with yet another headache resulting from a member of his family. He has ended up with his younger brother allegedly kicking up a fuss.

This royal row is centred over the £30 million Royal Lodge home in Windsor.

As a part of Charles’ efforts to slimline the monarchy and reduce costs, he has rejigged some of the living conditions for some senior royals.

He has kicked Harry and Meghan out of Frogmore Cottage, and tried to move the disgraced Prince Andrew into it.

But Andrew has reportedly refused to bow to efforts to move him out of his current residence - the Royal Lodge.

This has led to a souring of relations between the brothers, reports claim, and is despite the fact that Charles has handed him the keys to Frogmore in an effort to get him to move.

Page Six first reported on the 63-year-old’s obstinance, as he refuses to leave the home he has lived in since 2003.

A royal source told the outlet that Andrew was clinging onto the lodge in an effort to remain being seen as a senior royal.

They said: “Andrew doesn’t want to leave because the property is seen as a symbol of senior royalty — an important property in the family’s portfolio.

Andrew hasn't played a role in the royal family since he paid a reported £12million to Virginia Giuffre to dodge going to court over sex abuse claims - something he denies.

He increasingly came under fire for his defence of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including when Andrew claimed that his only fault in the issue was that he was 'too honourable'.

Prince William, the future king, Kate Middleton and their family only moved to Adelaide Cottage, not far from Andrew, a year ago.

But the four-bed home is already feeling small for the royals, reports claim, affected by William needing more office space with his growing role.

But all the wrangling over spacious homes, as the country struggles through a cost of living crisis, has said to have “infuriated” the king in the run up to his coronation.

“Relations between the king and his brother have never been this bad. It has turned into a real battle which he never expected and it’s left him tired and infuriated.” A source told the outlet.

This all comes in the runup to Charles’ coronation, which still faces a number of issues as organisers face a “race against time” to finalise details of the King and Queen’s historic crowning at Westminster Abbey.

A catalogue of major issues have emerged at the heart of planning for the May 6 event, with insiders revealing that rehearsals ran over by an hour, wrecking Charles’s plans for a "slimmed down" service.

Jeffrey Epsteins' Paedophile Islands SOLD For Less Than Half The Asking Price

Epsteins' Private Islands Put Up For Sale For $125m -Two Private Islands Sell For $60m

BBC News 5 MAY 2023

An aerial view of Jeffrey Epstein's island Little St. James

Two private Caribbean islands owned by Jeffrey Epstein have been sold to a billionaire investor for less than half the original asking price.

Stephen Deckoff, the founder of Black Diamond Capital Management, said in a statement he had purchased Great Saint James and Little Saint James for $60m, more than a year after they went on the market for $125m.

Proceeds from the sale will go towards a $105m settlement reached by Epstein’s estate with the US Virgin Islands government in November last year, Mr Deckoff said.

Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, used his private island in the archipelago to host powerful guests and traffic young girls to for decades.

Locals had nicknamed Little Saint James as “Paedophile Island”. The 71-acre secluded island is about a mile from St Thomas and has several luxury dwellings, three beaches, a gas station and a helipad.

Epstein purchased the island for $7.95m in 1998.

Nearby Great Saint James is more than twice the size and is undeveloped. Epstein purchased the island for $18m in 2016.

Mr Deckoff, a longtime US Virgin Islands resident, said he planned to open a luxury 25-room resort on one of the islands in 2025 that would boost tourism and economic development.

“I’ve been proud to call the U.S. Virgin Islands home for more than a decade and am tremendously pleased to be able to bring the area a world-class destination befitting its natural grace and beauty,” Mr Deckoff said.

Jeffery Epstein’s estate on Little Saint James Island in the US Virgin

Epstein’s estate was valued at $600m at the time of his death, due to his vast property holdings in New York, New Mexico and Florida.

In November, when he reached a settlement with the US Virgin Islands government, his estate’s assets had fallen to $159m, the attorney’s general’s office said.

The estate has paid out more than $160m to his sex trafficking victims since his death, The New York Times reported.

The sale brings to an end the late paedophile’s decades-long association with the US Virgin Islands.

Prosecutors on the Caribbean island said in a 2020 court filing that Epstein had trafficked and sexually abused girls as young as 11 at the properties.

Epstein: Deutsche Bank to Pay $75m Over Sex-Trafficking Lawsuit

Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay $75m (£60m) to settle a lawsuit that claimed the lender had enabled Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex trafficking ring.

The case was filed by an unnamed woman who alleged that the banking giant continued to do business with Epstein, despite knowing that his accounts were used to facilitate the abuses.

BBC 19 MAY 2023

She also claimed that she was abused by Epstein and trafficked to his friends.

Deutsche Bank declined to comment on the case when approached by the BBC.

The woman, who is listed anonymously as "Jane Doe" in court papers, filed the class-action lawsuit in New York last November on behalf of herself and other women who had allegedly been abused by the late American financier.

She said Deutsche Bank "chose profit over following the law" as it knew it would "earn millions of dollars from facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking"

The woman also alleged that she was sexually abused by Epstein and trafficked to his friends for around 15 years, while receiving cash payments for her sexual acts.

The settlement is expected to be used to pay compensation to dozens of women.

Edwards Pottinger, one of the law firms representing the unnamed woman, told the BBC that the outcome was "likely the largest sex-trafficking settlement involving a banking institution in US history."

"The settlement will allow dozens of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein to finally attempt to restore their faith in our system knowing that all individuals and entities who facilitated Epstein's sex-trafficking operation will finally be held accountable," the firm added.

Deutsche Bank previously sought to have the lawsuit dismissed.

Dylan Riddle, a spokesman for the bank, declined to comment on the settlement on Thursday, but said it had "made considerable progress in remedying a number of past issues".

Mr Riddle added that the bank had invested more than €4bn ($4.3bn; £3.5bn) to improve its controls, training and operational processes, and grown its team dedicated to fighting financial crime.

Epstein died in a New York prison cell on 10 August 2019 as he awaited, without the chance of bail, his trial on sex trafficking charges.

It came more than a decade after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender.

Jeffrey Epstein Bill Gates Threats = Revelations Will Send PANIC Among His 'Pals'

Claims Prince Andrew's paedophile billionaire pal Jeffrey Epstein threatened billionaire Bill Gates over an alleged affair the Microsoft founder had, 'will send panic' among the disgraced financiers' pals

BBC 22 MAY 2023

Prince Andrew’s paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein reportedly appeared to threaten fellow billionaire Bill Gates over an affair the Microsoft founder allegedly had with a young woman.

US tycoon Mr Gates was married and about 55 when he met the Russian bridge player, Mila Antonova, in around 2010 when she was in her 20s.

Wall Street financier Epstein met her three years later before funding her studies at a software coding school.

Convicted sex offender Epstein emailed Mr Gates in 2017 and asked to be reimbursed for the cost of the course, according to the Wall Street Journal.

It followed Epstein failing to convince Mr Gates to participate in a charitable fund.

People who have seen the message say the implication behind it was Epstein could reveal the alleged affair if Mr Gates did not keep up an association between the two men.

...Gates & Ms Antonova in about 2010

A spokeswoman for Mr Gates said: “He met Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes. Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr Gates.”

Ms Antonova, who declined to comment on Mr Gates, 67, said of Epstein: “I had no idea [at the time] that he was a criminal or had any ulterior motive. I just thought he was a successful businessman and wanted to help.”

She told the Wall Street Journal: “I am disgusted with Epstein and what he did.”

During his friendship with Epstein, Andrew stayed at three of the US sex offender’s properties.

At Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2011, from left: James E. Staley, at the time a senior JPMorgan executive; former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers; Mr. Epstein; Bill Gates, Microsoft’s co-founder; and Boris Nikolic, who was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s science adviser.

The FBI later seized hundreds of hours of surveillance footage filmed in Epstein’s homes. One of his victims talked about secret cameras at Epstein’s New York mansion where Andrew stayed.

Epstein was found dead in his cell at a jail in the city in 2019 aged 66 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide.

A source told the Mirror: “Epstein kept a treasure trove of information in his safes on his famous friends [as an]... insurance policy.

“It wasn’t just royalty he had over to his place but world leaders and celebs.

“They’ve been left not knowing what his cameras caught. No one was off limits.”

The source added the revelations about the apparent threat to Mr Gates “will send panic” among Epstein’s pals.

Prince Andrew May Have Lied About Epstein Friendship Newly Released Emails Suggest

The emails written by paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been released as part of a US court case and show he was touting the Duke as a potential investor in 2011

BBC 5 JUNE 2023

Prince Andrew faces fresh questions about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after emails emerged suggesting he lied about it in his BBC Newsnight interview.

Emails written by Epstein and released as part of a US court case show he was touting the prince as a potential investor in 2011, despite Andrew claiming he had severed all contact in 2010.

Victims of his paedophile pal last night demanded the prince speak to the FBI, which he has so far refused to do.

It is not known if the Duke knew his name was being touted by Epstein.

But US attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents Epstein victims, told the Mirror: “It appears that either Epstein was highly overselling his relationship with Prince Andrew or that the duke may not have been entirely truthful about when his friendship ended.”

Jeffrey Epstein with Ghislaine Maxwell

One of Epstein’s victims, who in 2021 was awarded compensation from the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, said: “The emails raise serious questions.

“Why would Jeffrey be lauding him as an investor if he was no longer in contact?

“It makes no sense. Many of the claims the prince made to the BBC were at best questionable but the release of Jeffrey’s emails makes his answers more unbelievable.

“He needs to talk once and for all to the FBI, as he has been asked to. There are people still who have not been brought to justice who aided Jeffrey. We will never give up.”

The emails were released as part of the US Virgin Islands’ lawsuit against JP Morgan.

It is alleged that the bank was “complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein”. In a counter claim, the bank accuses the territory’s officials of taking money and favours from Epstein in return for looking the other way as he trafficked women to be abused on his island hideaway.

On August 31, 2011, in an email to JP Morgan, Epstein touted Andrew as a potential investment partner.
“He is now allowed to make money,” Epstein wrote.

In his Newsnight interview, the duke told Emily Maitlis he had cut contact with Epstein in December 2010, when he visited him in New York.

She then asked him: “Did you see him or speak to him again?” The duke replied: “No.”

Epstein killed himself in 2019. His former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for sex trafficking.

Prince Andrew REFUSES to Move Out of Royal Lodge For Home Repairs in Fears He Won't be Allowed Back'

Prince Andrew has repeatedly been asked to leave Royal Lodge to make way for the Prince and Princess of Wales and fears if he was to temporarily move out, he would not return

BBC 12 JUNE 2023

Prince Andrew has refused yet another request from the King to leave his home as he fears he will 'never be allowed back in again'.

The Grade-II listed Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park has been home to the Duke of York for two decades and now is reportedly earmarked for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The Duke of York’s residence has become a battleground amidst claims of his refusal to obey the King's demands to vacate the 30-room property.

Prince Andrew signed a long lease on the £30million property - part of the Crown Estate where he lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson - after moving in following the Queen Mother's death.

The Duke has been asked to leave the mansion several times

But Andrew has refused to budge, according to the MailOnline.

A source said: “It's become farcical.

“Andrew has roof repairs scheduled later this summer which will take several months to complete and has been advised that staying in the house during those renovations could prove problematic.

“But he is reluctant to leave.”

The King and Prince Andrew's battle over Royal Lodge has been ongoing for month, with initial reports that the property was becoming too expensive to maintain amidst Charles' desires to squeeze royal budgets.

Andrew meanwhile has had his annual maintenance loan slashed from £249k slashed this year, making upkeep of the huge property increasingly difficult.

The King wants his eldest son and heir to take the home

Andrew has called it home for decades

Last month it was even claimed King Charles could be forced cut off utilities at the Royal Lodge as troublesome Prince Andrew refuses to leave the property despite his requests.

It has been reported palace chiefs initially set a September deadline for the former couple to vacate the residence, but had later accepted it was too soon.

The length of the lease and the fact it's in Andrew's name could pose the King some problems in his quest to move the Duke, according to one insider who recently spoke to The Times.

They said: “This is a lease between him and the Crown Estate. That’s not a matter for the King. It’s a matter for the chancellor of the exchequer. The only way you could get him to move out would be through an arrangement — he would have to agree."

Prince Andrew BANNED From Order of the Garter Ceremony AGAIN as Palace Sets Precedent

Prince Andrew is understood to have been barred from attending the Order of the Garter Day procession at Windsor Castle on 19 June, with Buckingham Palace said to be keen to set a precedent

BBC 21 JUNE 2023

Prince Andrew has been barred from the Order of the Garter Day procession at Windsor Castle later this month, it has been claimed.

The Duke of York, 63, is understood to have hoped to be involved in the grand affair, one of the most hallowed ceremonies in the royal calendar.

It will see King Charles and his knights don velvet robes, glistening insignia and plumed hats.

Andrew - who was forced to step down from royal duties in 2019 before being stripped of his titles - was booted from the event at the 11th hour last year.

And it appears Buckingham Palace has doubled down on its approach to limit the disgraced Duke's public appearances.

He has been pushed into the background following scandals involving Jeffrey Epstein and trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre.

Ms Giuffre brought a civil case alleging Prince Andrew had forced her to have sex with him on three occasions in 2001 when she was 17 years old.

Andrew denies the allegations and later agreed to an out of court settlement with his accuser. The settlement is not an admission of guilt and Prince Andrew continues to deny any wrongdoing.

Sources have told Express.co.uk the 2022 procession set a precedent and Andrew will continue to be denied a public-facing role at the even on June 19.

There was allegedly some optimism Charles and Prince William were starting to adopt a softer approach, considering the Duke was allowed to wear his ceremonial robes for the Coronation.

Many were shocked to see him in the Order of the Garter robes at Westminster Abbey last month, considering he is no longer a working royal.

Prince Harry, who stepped down in 2020 to move to the US with wife Meghan Markle, wore a morning suit, in comparison.

King Charles and Prince Andrew

Andrew appeared prominently on the walk to the church on Easter Sunday as well.

He was allowed to attend private events during last year's Order of the Garter Day - but was axed from a public role.

The King and Prince of Wales are said to have intervened at the last minute, arguing it was better for their brother and uncle, respectively, to stay out of the spotlight.

PEDO Jeffrey Epstein Invited Ex-Barclays Bank Boss Jes Staley to Meetings With Peter Mandelson and Former Foreign Secretary Alistair Darling AFTER He Was Released From Jail For Sex Crimes

The 22-page report reportedly showed how Epstein would offer advice to Staley

BBC 21 JUNE 2023

Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein invited ex-Barclays Bank boss Jes Staley to meetings with top UK Government officials AFTER he was released from jail for sex crimes, an internal investigation has revealed.

The 22-page internal report, prepared by JPMorgan Chase after Epstein's arrest in 2019, reportedly showed how the sex offender would regularly provide business advice to then-exec Staley.

Epstein also offered to connect Staley with then Chancellor Alistair Darling and Peter Mandelson, the former business secretary and de facto deputy prime minister, according to the Financial Times. He is also understood to have invited Staley to meetings with senior officials in the government of Dubai.

The unreleased report may suggest Staley's involvement with Epstein goes deeper, and even saw the pedophile offer help with an application one of Staley's daughters sent to Columbia University.

At the time, Staley - who left his job as chairman of the investment banking unit of JPMorgan Chase in 2013 - was tasked with managing Epstein's multimillion-dollar account.

Epstein also offered to connect Staley with then Chancellor Alistair Darling and Peter Mandelson, the former business secretary and de facto deputy prime minister, the report claims. Peter Mandelson is pictured with Jefferey Epstein at the peadophile's 54th birthday

Epstein, a former friend of Trump and Bill Clinton, committed suicide a month after being arrested on child sex trafficking charges.

PLUS; JP Morgan Agrees to Pay $290m to Settle Lawsuit Brought by Jeffrey Epstein Victims

BBC NEWS 28 JUNE 2023

The report details how BOP employees failed to check in every 30 minutes on the 66-year-old investor in his cell, lied about their failure to do so and allowed him to have extra clothing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein, despite his high profile and a jail suicide attempt two weeks earlier, was left alone in his cell with a surplus of bed linens. Nearly all the surveillance cameras on his unit didn’t record. One worker was on duty for 24 hours straight.

The Justice Department’s watchdog said Tuesday that negligence, misconduct and poor job performance by the federal Bureau of Prisons and workers at the New York City jail enabled Epstein to take his own life in August 2019.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz, saying he found no evidence of foul play, blamed numerous factors for Epstein’s death, including the jail’s failure to assign him a cellmate and overworked guards who lied on logs after failing to make regular checks. Had the guards done so, Horowitz said, they would’ve found Epstein had excess linens, which he used in his suicide.

“The combination of negligence, misconduct and outright job performance failures documented in the report all contributed to an environment in which arguably one of the most notorious inmates in BOP’s custody was provided with the opportunity to take his own life,” Horowitz wrote in a report detailing his findings.

Horowitz’s investigation, the last of several official inquiries into Epstein’s death, echoed previous findings that some members of the jail staff involved in guarding Epstein were overworked. He identified 13 employees with poor performance and recommended charges against four workers. Only the two workers assigned to guard Epstein the night he died were charged, avoiding jail time in a plea deal after admitting to falsifying logs.

Horowitz’s report highlighted some of the many problems plaguing the Bureau of Prisons, many of which have been exposed by The Associated Press. The agency, the Justice Department’s largest with more than 30,000 employees, 158,000 inmates and an annual budget of about $8 billion, is plagued by severe staffing shortages, staff sexual abuse and criminal conduct, among other issues,

The Bureau of Prisons said it has accepted all eight of Horowitz’s recommendations, has updated its suicide watch process and will apply other lessons learned “to the broader BOP correctional landscape.”

The agency said it will review video to ensure correctional officers are making the proper rounds and will require more paperwork when prisoners are kept alone in cells. A warden must now be notified when someone is placed on suicide watch, the agency said. It is also requiring specialized training on suicide prevention.

“We make every effort to create a controlled environment within our facilities that is both secure and humane, prioritizing the physical and emotional well-being of those in our care and custody,” the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement.

Horowitz’s report comes nearly four years after Epstein took his own life at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhttan while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. It also comes weeks after the AP obtained thousands of pages of records detailing the wealthy financier’s detention and death and its chaotic aftermath.

Horowitz’s investigators found no evidence to suggest anything other than suicide, echoing the findings of New York City’s medical examiner’s office, which determined Epstein killed himself, and a separate FBI investigation that found no crimes associated with the death.

No physical evidence supported any of the many conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death, Horowitz concluded, and none of the video captured from the cameras that were recording showed any indication of anyone else in the cell. Investigators probed for possible money changing hands involving guards but found no evidence of that, either.

The workers assigned to guard Epstein were sleeping and shopping online instead of checking on him every 30 minutes as required, prosecutors said.

Nova Noel and Michael Thomas admitted lying on prison records to make it seem as though they had made the checks but avoided prison time under a deal with prosecutors. They left the Bureau of Prisons in April 2022, agency spokesperson Benjamin O’Cone said.

It’s the second time in six months that Horowitz has blamed a high-profile inmate’s death on the Bureau of Prisons’ failings. In December, the inspector general found that management failures, flawed policies and widespread incompetence were factors in notorious gangster James “Whitey” Bulger’s 2018 beating death at a troubled West Virginia prison.

The AP obtained more than 4,000 pages of documents related to Epstein’s death from the federal Bureau of Prisons under the Freedom of Information Act. The documents, including a reconstruction of events leading to Epstein’s suicide, internal reports, emails, memos and other records, underscored how short staffing and corner-cutting contributed to Epstein’s death.

Epstein spent 36 days at the now-shuttered Metropolitan Correctional Center. Two weeks before his death, he was placed on suicide watch for 31 hours after what jail officials said was a suicide attempt that left his neck bruised and scraped.

The workers tasked with guarding Epstein the night he died were working overtime. One of them, not normally assigned to guard prisoners, was working a fifth straight day of overtime. The other was working mandatory overtime, which meant a second eight-hour shift in one day.

In addition, Epstein’s cellmate did not return after a court hearing the day before, and jail officials failed to pair another prisoner with him, leaving him alone.

Epstein Sex Slave ‘Zorro Ranch’, Visited by Andrew SOLD For $27.5 Million? -Ghislaine Maxwell May Benefit

None of the late paedophiles’ victims will benefit from the multi-millionaire dollar sale. However, shockingly, his partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, could get some of the money. Last night, one of Epstein’s victims branded the possibility “beyond deplorable”.

The now 35-year-old, who was abused by the financier when she was a schoolgirl, told the Mirror: “Is there no depth Ghislaine will stoop to? Not happy with inflicting abuse on young girls with Jeffrey, she now wants to cash in on his offending. It is beyond deplorable how she has the nerve to try and profit while victims can no longer get compensation.”

The Mirror.com reported almost £95 million of Epstein’s fortune was distributed to more than 135 people from his compensation fund set up after his suicide but payments ended in August 2021.

Maxwell is suing her former lover’s estate - where the proceeds will go - claiming the estate failed to provide her with funds despite the deceased child sex offender’s promising to bankroll her for life.

The British socialite, sentenced to 20 years in prison in June last year for grooming and sexually abusing underage girls with Epstein, is continuing her claim from the Florida prison where she is being held. Two days before his jail cell suicide in August 2019, the Wall Street financier put more than £554 million in assets into a trust fund, shrouding it in secrecy while making it more difficult for his victims to collect damages.

None of the inheritors have been made public. However, Karyna Shuliak, his girlfriend and the last person he spoke to on the phone before killing himself, is reported to be one of the primary beneficiaries. The Belarusian also visited him at the grim Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, where he was being held 11 days before his death.

The convicted sex offender’s New Mexico bolthole, where some of his most monstrous allegations of sexual abuse occurred, had been on the market for £21.6 million since July 2021. No one dared touch the property even when the twisted sex offender’s estate dropped the price a year later by almost £5 million.

But the Mirror can reveal that on Thursday, the 7,588-acre ‘Zorro Ranch’ sold for an undisclosed fee to San Rafael Ranch, LLC, a company formed just weeks ago. Papers obtained by this newspaper show a ‘special warranty deed’ was issued by the Sante Fe County Clerk’s Office the day before and signed off on by Darren Indyke, the executor of Epstein’s estate.

The sale included the secluded lodge where Andrew is claimed to have stayed whenever he visited. The Duke of York’s sexual abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre and former Zorro Ranch staff all say they witnessed the royal at the remote hilltop mansion.

He allegedly visited the property near Stanley, New Mexico on several occasions. It was there that Giuffre claimed she was flown to as a teenager to meet with the Duke alone. Andrew and his legal team have vehemently denied her claims saying he can never recall even meeting her despite a picture appearing to show them together.

Payments from Epsteins' fortune ended in August 2021

Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre claimed in her unpublished memoir, entered into evidence in her since-settled 2015 defamation case against Maxwell, that she spent two days alone with the prince there in around 2001 when she was 17 or 18.

The alleged sex slave claims billionaire Epstein flew her to his ranch by herself, not knowing who she was going to meet for a sexual encounter. Once there, she claims Andrew was waiting for her with the “same old cheesy grin” she alleges to have seen while meeting him before in London and New York.

Giuffre alleged she was alone with the Duke for two days, during which he enjoyed numerous massages. She wrote of the alleged tryst around 2001: “Ghislaine only told me that I was to meet someone there, not sure of whom that was. It wasn’t my place to ask. As far as I knew, it could be anyone, and I had no choice but to be compliant to their needs.”

Giuffre, who was around 17 or 18 years old at the time, said she landed around “the middle of the day” before a ranch hand collected her from the airport to take her to the mansion. She claims she only discovered Prince Andrew was waiting for her when she arrived at Zorro.

“My job was to entertain him endlessly, whether that meant having to bestow him my body during an erotic massage or simply take him horseback riding,” she wrote in her memoir.

Unlike the Prince’s visits to Epstein’s properties in New York, Palm Beach, Florida and his private Caribbean Island, the American financier and Maxwell were absent. According to a former Zorro housekeeper, Andrew was at the predator’s ranch with a “beautiful young neurosurgeon” on another occasion.

The ranch was sold to a company formed just weeks ago

Deidre Stratton claimed the Prince was “kept company” by the woman for three days when he stayed at the ranch alone. She said Andrew came to stay at the ranch and was put up in a self-contained three-bedroom guest lodge on the estate.

Epstein was not there, but he arranged for Andrew to be accompanied by the woman, later revealed to be Melanie Walker. Stratton said: “At the time Jeffrey had this, she supposedly was a neurosurgeon, quite young, beautiful, young and brilliant, and she stayed in the home with him.

“At one point, we had all these different teas, and you could pick the teas that you wanted, and she asked me to find one that would make Andrew more horny.” When the Mirror tracked down Dr Walker, she refused to comment on Stratton’s remarks when asked.

“I’m guessing she understood her job was to entertain him because I guess, the fear, I don’t know; the fear would be that Andrew would say, ‘No, I didn’t really find her that attractive.’... He would tell Jeffrey that, and then she would be on the ropes.” Stratton told how, while there, she asked Andrew what he would like for breakfast, and the royal said he wanted to try and cook some bacon for himself.

“I offered to come up and fix his breakfast, and he said, ‘No, I want to try.’... When I got up there later to tidy up, you could smell burnt bacon, and he was like, ‘I didn’t do so well.’... He had a croissant and green tea or something. I remember him trying to cook his own breakfast. Isn’t that cute? He couldn’t even fry bacon.”

Epstein reportedly had plans to make the ranch a “baby-making factory” where he would inseminate victims. Computer scientist and writer Jaron Lanier claimed he had previously spoken to a fellow scientist who revealed the convicted paedophile’s goal of having at least 20 women at a time impregnated at the ranch.

Epstein had hoped to use the property to “seed the human race with his DNA”. Over the years, several women accused the late disgraced New York-based investor and convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell of sexually abusing them there.

GVs of the Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, which was formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein. He had hoped to use the property to 'seed the human race with his DNA

Though he was never charged with a crime in New Mexico, the ranch has been painted as integral to his sex-trafficking operation. The listing noted that Zorro comprises a three-story, four-bedroom main house, a nearby caretaker’s residence, and multiple other structures. It also has another separately and privately located house and four other residences at Ranch Central. Meanwhile, the lodge and log cabin where Andrew is said to have stayed is in its own private location on the ranch.

Zorro, which includes a firehouse, log cabin, guest house, pool, airstrip, antique railroad car and train tracks, is part private, part public land. But New Mexico state officials say Epstein was so secretive about the ranch that they have virtually no access and little knowledge about what happens on the public portions.

Like an impenetrable fortress high on a hill, the property was bought to provide as much privacy as possible from the public and the police. The sprawling compound is tightly guarded with surveillance cameras, well-secured gates and fencing and employees who, despite requests, remain tight-lipped and appear to avoid interaction with any potential visitors.

When scouring New Mexico in the early nineties for a house to add to his portfolio, Epstein told hopeful estate agents “privacy, privacy, privacy” was paramount. “He wanted really far away from people,” Pat French, who Epstein approached in 1992, once said. Andrew’s visits to Zorro around 2001 have been well documented and have been detailed in US court evidence.

King Charles Allows Disgraced Prince Andrew to Stay at Royal Lodge After Striking Deal

Disgraced Prince Andrew has been granted permission by the King to stay at his Royal Lodge home after being given time to show he can find the funds for repairs to the mansion

BBC 3 OCT 2023

Prince Andrew has been granted permission by the King to stay indefinitely at his Royal Lodge home, after thrashing out a deal with the monarch.

The disgraced Duke of York has been given time to assure his brother he can come up with the necessary funds to carry out much needed repairs on the 30 room royal mansion.

Andrew and the King were at loggerheads this summer when the monarch suggested his brother move out of the property and into a smaller four-bedroom cottage on the Windsor estate, vacated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

But now Andrew, 63, has been granted a “stay of execution”, despite his annual £250,000 handout being cut by the King and his home needing an estimated £2million in repairs. It can also be revealed Andrew had forked out more than £200,000 for roof repairs over the summer, described as an “interim payment”.

Royal Lodge required a number of repairs, said to be worth £2 million

However, the Grade II listed house is in need of much more urgent repair including damp throughout the property. Royal sources have confirmed the King and Andrew met privately at Balmoral at the end of August, during a royal family gathering, where the issues were discussed.

A friend of the Duke’s suggested there had been a “cooling of relations” with the King and his brother. Andrew was further buoyed by Prince William driving him to and from church during the family stay, representing a further thawing in the camp.

A friend of the Duke’s suggested there had been a “cooling of relations” with the King and his brother

Sources have suggested it was the King who told William to put on the show of family unity and drive his disgraced uncle to the Sunday service at Crathie Kirk church despite the monarch and his heir being the driving force behind his explosion from public life.

The Duke was forced to step down from royal duties after his car crash BBC Newsnight interview in November 2019, in which he failed to apologise for his relationship with the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Since then his attempts at plotting a way back into the royal fold have been extinguished by the King and Prince William, who are said to be aligned the Duke should have no role in public life. Andrew’s finances have also been left in disarray after he was forced to pay £12million to his sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre to stop a case of alleged assault going to court in the United States.

As part of the King’s plans to scale down the monarchy, Andrew was offered the smaller Frogmore Cottage, which had been recently renovated by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But the pampered prince rejected the offer and refused to leave Royal Lodge, which he still shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, despite divorcing 27 years ago.

The brothers have come to a deal

More Than 170 Jeffrey Epstein 'Associates' to Be Named Next Month

Prince Andrews’ Accuser Hails Naming of 170 Epstein Associates in Unsealed Documents

Donald Trump and The Duke of York are expected to be named as Judge calls for sex offender financiers’ connections to be revealed 'in full’

AP 22 DEC 2023

The Duke of Yorks’ accuser last night welcomed a judge’s ruling that will see dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates identified, asking: “Who’s on the naughty list?”

Virginia Giuffre hailed a New York court’s decision to unseal documents filed as part of her lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell.

Among those likely to be named in the papers is Prince Andrew, with whom she has claimed she was forced to have sex when she was 17.

Judge Loretta Preska has given those whose names will be released 14 days to appeal against her decision before they are made public.

Ms Giuffre, who settled her civil case with the Duke in early 2022, wrote on X, formerly Twitter:

The settlement with the Duke did not include any admission of wrongdoing.

She added: “Finally we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!!

“There’s going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Years, 170 to be exact, who’s on the naughty list? This wouldn’t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska.”

Judge Loretta Preska’s order is part of a defamation case involving Ms Giuffre and Maxwell, the British socialite and convicted sex-trafficker.

Anyone on the list will have until Jan 1 to appeal to have their name removed from it.

For several years, Judge Preska has reviewed documents sought by the Miami Herald from the civil case involving Maxwell and Ms Giuffre.

The case was settled in 2017 and many of the records related to the lawsuit have been publicly released in the past few years.

However, the names of scores of Epstein associates remained under a court-ordered seal.

On Monday, Judge Preska made determinations about some portions of the records that were initially withheld on potential privacy grounds and what can be made public about certain people mentioned.

In many instances, she noted that individuals had given media interviews or that their names had previously emerged publicly in various ways, including at Maxwell’s trial two years ago.

Judge Preska’s 51-page ruling, issued on Monday, called for Epstein’s connections to be “unsealed in full”.

Among the records are 40 documents of evidence from Johanna Sjoberg, who has claimed Prince Andrew groped her breast while sitting on a couch inside Epstein’s Manhattan apartment in 2001.

Buckingham Palace has previously denied the allegations, saying they are “categorically untrue”.

Judge Preska concluded that some portions of the records should remain confidential, including those identifying people who were children when they were sexually abused by Epstein and had tried to maintain their privacy.

Epstein took his own life in a New York prison in August 2019 as he awaited trial on charges of sex trafficking and raping young girls.

He was accused of luring numerous underage girls to his homes under the guise of giving him massages, and then sexually abusing them.

Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted in December 2021 of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls.

The pair were a couple in the early 1990s before becoming collaborators and accomplices in sex crimes that stretched over almost three decades.

EPSTEIN: SECRET UNSEALED Court Docs Reveal Hundreds of Sexual PREDATORS

Jeffrey Epstein Victim Johanna Sjoberg Was Asked If SHE Was One Who Had Ever 'MASSAGED' TRUMP, After She Was Introduced to Him, She Responded NO

Ghislaine Maxwell claims she has 'NOTHING to say' about Jeffrey Epstein or the list of almost 200 associates: Disgraced socialite fumes that she's the only one in jail when 'it's all about men abusing women'

MailOnline 4 JAN 2024

In depositions released Wednesday, Sjoberg was asked if she'd given massages to various famous men who were guests of a party Epstein held, including Star Wars creator George Lucas and former President Trump.

Johanna Sjoberg, 42, infamously told a British newspaper of an alleged encounter with the Duke at Epsteins' NYC mansion. She claimed Prince Andrew groped her breast with a puppet

Sjoberg, now a hairdresser living in Florida, has previously said Maxwell recruited her to provide massages for Epstein in 2001 when she was at college.

Jeffrey Epsteins' Brother Mark Epstein, a 69-year-old property developer, said his brother Jeffrey - who died in jail in August 2019 - claimed he had secrets about Bill Clinton and Trump

Mark said that his brother, older by 18 months, told him in 2016: 'If I said what I know about both candidates, they'd have to cancel the election'

Hillary is not believed to have been close to Jeffrey Epstein but her husband was friends with him from 1993, and Donald Trump was Epstein's friend in the 1990s

The pedophile financier made at least 17 visits to the White House, presidential logs show, and Bill Clinton also flew on Epstein's private jet - making trips to Europe, Asia and Africa in 2002 and 2003..

Maxwell refuses to say whether Jeffrey Epstein liked her to pinch his nipples and says its a 'tricky question' when asked if she was ever pedophile's girlfriend

A New York judge began to unseal Wednesday the identities of people linked in court documents to Jeffrey Epstein

In one of the depositions, Maxwell was asked about whether Epstein liked to have his nipples pinched during sex

When asked if she was his girlfriend, she said 'That's a tricky question. There were times when I would have liked to think of myself as his girlfriend'

Epsteins' infamous right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell hedged on details about Epstein's sexual proclivities and whether or not he was his girlfriend in newly unsealed documents.

A New York judge began to unseal Wednesday the identities of people linked in court documents to Jeffrey Epstein, the US financier who killed himself in 2019 as he awaited trial for sex crimes.

The initial tranche includes 40 previously undisclosed documents with almost 1,000 pages of depositions and statements, with the final library of documents expected to name prominent individuals.

In one of the depositions, Maxwell was asked about whether Epstein liked to have his nipples pinched during sex.

She responded that she would not answer about 'adult sexual things when I was with him.'

As of Monday, it is unknown whether Microsoft boss Bill Gates is among them, after he owned up to having a close relationship with the pedophile even after he was convicted in a separate child prostitution case in 2008.

Second Wave of Epstein Court Documents Unsealed- 19 Docs of 300 Pages Released on Thursday.

The Additional 19 Docs Add to More Than 900 Pages Already Unsealed on Wednesday

More than 300 additional pages deepen the picture of Epsteins’ elite orbit while resurfacing old claims

MailOnline 5 JAN 2024

Cameron Diaz; Jeffrey Epstein; Leonardo DiCaprio

While Jeffrey Epstein counted many rich and powerful men among his associates –including Bill Clinton, TRUMP and Prince Andrew – a court document released on Wednesday suggests the late financier so craved proximity to celebrity that he made spurious boasts about relationships with Hollywood A-listers.

The unsealed papers do not appear to contain extensive additional information about Epstein’s trafficking of teen girls and women. They include some discussion of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s medical records and a portion of a deposition provided by a medical provider.

The documents also include an email exchange between Giuffre and the journalist Sharon Churcher, who had been assisting her pursuit of a book deal. In the 2011 exchange, Churcher tells Giuffre that she is correct to be concerned about “what side” Vanity Fair was taking in a story involving Epstein.

Giuffre responds with an unsubstantiated claim that Bill Clinton – who once associated with Epstein – stormed into Vanity Fair and threatened the magazine over the story.

“When i was doing some research into VF yesterday, it docs concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B.Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficing [sic] articles about his good friend J E,” Giuffre wrote.

In 2007, Page Six of the New York Post quoted the writer, John Connolly, of the Vanity Fair story rebuffing this claim, which had appeared on Gawker.com. “The site reported former President Bill Clinton had visited Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter in his Times Square office to kill a John Connolly story about billionaire Jeffrey Epstein,” Page Six said.

“The story supposedly will mention one of Clinton’s friends,” Page Six reported. “Turns out, Clinton never visited Carter, and Connolly told us his story isn’t dead – he’s waiting for Epstein’s next court appearance – and it won’t even mention this high-powered friend.”

In a statement to the Telegraph, Carter denied the Clinton threat claim, saying: “This categorically did not happen.”

However, in 2019, Connolly told NPR that Epstein had threatened Carter years prior when Vanity Fair had been considering covering allegations of sexual misconduct against the financier.

The journalist Vicky Ward, who wrote a 2003 piece for Vanity Fair on Epstein’s life and fortune, had claimed that she had spoken to two Epstein accusers on the record during her reporting.

Carter told NPR that the magazine hadn’t withheld this information due to threats or fear but insisted that Ward’s sourcing hadn’t been legally sufficient for publication.

But Connolly claimed that in 2006, when he had been investigating Epstein, a dead cat had been put outside Carter’s house. Connolly said that Carter had told him he was worried about his children’s safety, and the journalist said he decided to stop pursuing his investigation, according to NPR.

One document included a deposition excerpt from an unidentified Epstein accuser who, while in high school, had been recruited to provide him massages. “I worked very, very hard to not recall anything specific about my sexual encounters with this person as one of his victims,” she said in the deposition.

“I don’t recall exactly how I was propositioned to get there. I just was there, and all of a sudden something horrible happened to me.”

“Did you bring other girls to him?” the woman was asked. She answered yes: “I brought friends over.” They had been her peers, other high-school girls, she said.

She also said that Epstein had asked her to live with him when she was a teenager. “He wanted me to be emancipated,” she said.

The documents stem from Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, and include excerpts of depositions and motions in that case. Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 of sex trafficking and similar charges for procuring teen girls for Epstein.

Thousands of pages of documents in that lawsuit had been made public previously, but some sections had been blacked out because of privacy concerns.

Some of the high-profile names that have appeared in the court documents so far include Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and David Copperfield, though many men named are not accused of any sexual misconduct.

While many of the details in the documents were already public, they shed new light on the sheer magnitude of Epstein’s rich and powerful orbit.

The documents so far – with more to come – were sprinkled with names of celebrities and politicians who socialized or worked with Epstein in the years before he was publicly accused of targeting underage girls for sex.

The documents also suggest that Epstein was so hungry for proximity to celebrity that he made spurious boasts about relationships with Hollywood A-listers.

Johanna Sjoberg, an accuser of the late sex offender and financier, claimed in a deposition that he liked to talk about knowing movie stars, such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett, and that these statements appeared to come across as flimsy braggadocio.

A lawyer asked Sjoberg: “I saw one press report that said you had met Cate Blanchett or Leonardo DiCaprio?”

“I did not meet them, no,” she replied.

Epstein was arrested in July 2019 for sex trafficking and found dead in his jail cell on 10 August of that year; authorities determined that he hanged himself.

The documents have included repetitions of well-known stories about Prince Andrew, who was also sued by Giuffre, who said she had sexual encounters with the royal when she was 17. The prince, who denied the allegations, settled the lawsuit in 2022.

Prince Andrew Visited Epsteins' Palm Beach Lair Where Duke Had DAILY Massages and Stayed in Blue Room

Ex-housekeeper claims Sarah Ferguson was with him on the visits in newly unsealed files heaping fresh embarrassment on Royal - but King 'vows to not abandon brother'

The Guardian 6 JAN 2024

A room inside Jeffrey Epstein's home in Palm Beach, Florida, which Andrew is alleged to have visited several times

Epsteins ex-housekeeper claimed Prince Andrew had daily massages when he spent 'weeks' at the paedophile financier's Florida home, court documents have revealed – adding that Sarah Ferguson allegedly also visited the residence.

Juan Alessi, who worked at Epstein's Palm Beach residence, said both Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, were friends with him and now convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

During his video-taped interview under oath in 2009, released on Friday night as part of the latest tranche of documents linked to Epstein, Mr Alessi was questioned on the duke's relationship with Maxwell and the financier.

He said that Andrew would have 'daily' massages while staying at the residence, but that Sarah Ferguson, while 'friends' with Epstein, visited once for a 'short time'.

The newly unsealed files heap fresh embarrassment on the Royal but last night, royal sources claimed that the King continues to feel a 'sense of duty' to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to ensure that Andrew is not 'cut adrift' from the rest of the family.

A source told that Mirror that Charles has told his brother he 'won't be abandoned'.

'Charles promised his late mother he would not abandon Andrew once she was gone and that remains the situation, unless of course he finds himself engaged in a criminal matter,' they said.

Meanwhile, in the interview with housekeeper Mr Alessi, lawyer Katherine Ezell asked: 'Were Prince Andrew and Princess Sarah friends of Ms Maxwell?'

Mr Alessi replied: 'Both of them,' confirming he meant that they were friends with Maxwell and with Epstein.

The lawyer went on: 'Did they ever have massages when they were there?'

Mr Alessi replied: 'Prince Andrew did. I think Sarah was there only once and for a short time. I don't think she slept in there. I cannot remember.

Sarah Ferguson photographed at Palm Beach Polo and Country Club in Wellington, Florida in 2005. Mr Alessi said she visited Epstein's home 'once and for a short time'

'I think she was visiting Wellington and she came to the house and we met her. But Prince Andrew, yes, Prince Andrew spent weeks with us.'

Ms Ezell then asked: 'Where would he sleep?'

Mr Alessi said: 'In the main room, the main guest bedroom. That was the blue room.'

The lawyer then said: 'And, so, when he would come and stay, during that time would he frequently have massages?

Mr Alessi replied: 'I would say, daily massages.'

Juan Alessi said the Duke would spend 'weeks' at the Florida estate. In a deposition given under oath

NO Investigation Met Police Confirm

No investigation has been launched after Prince Andrew was among people named as associates of Jeffrey Epstein in court papers unsealed by a US court

Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt says "Scotland Yard's statement seems to suggest that at this stage at least, it does not find anything new that is worth investigating or assessing".

Prince Andrew has strenuously denied all allegations against him in the past. Buckingham Palace, which no longer speaks on behalf of the duke after he stepped down as a working royal in 2019 over his friendship with Epstein, has not commented on the documents.

‘No Question’: TRUMP KNEW Jeffrey Epstein Was Up to Terrible Things

Young Turks founder and host Cenk Uygur claims there is “no question” former president Donald Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein was up to “terrible things”.

Sky News Australia 10 JAN 2024

According to the dead financiers’ younger brother Jeffrey Epstein said if he revealed ‘what I know about TRUMP and the Clintons so incendiary, 2016 election would have to be cancelled

A United States court unsealed documents containing the identity of 187 individuals connected to sex offender and former financier Jeffrey Epstein.

There is no suggestion that any of the associated individuals who are named in the documents have committed crimes.

Among the most high-profile names mentioned in the release of court documents is that of former US president Bill Clinton, with testimony from the former financier's associate Ghislaine Maxwell confirming he had flown on Epstein's private plane.

In a separate document, one of Epstein's victims said he had once told her the former president "likes them young, referring to girls," but also said she had not seen Mr Clinton at the former financier's infamous island residence.

The documents also include a reference to former president Donald Trump, with Epstein allegedly telling Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein's victims, that he would contact the then real-estate businessman on their way to a New Jersey casino.

Mr Urgur noted that the former president was “terrific friends” with Epstein for a long time.

“It’s easy for the two sides to say ‘Clinton definitely did it, Trump definitely did it” he told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

The latest on who knew what in the biggest sex trafficking ring in history. His elite circle of the wealthy and powerful on notice as thousands of damning new court documents are unsealed...

Our Conclusions From All The Evidence We’ve Collected:

1. Epstein has been murdered, not suicide.

2. The sex offense is not the worst in Epsteins’ case, not from UK perspective and not from U.S. perspective.

3. Not every person that knew, visited and traveled with Epstein had any involvement in sex with minority, sex at all, or any wrong doing. That’s why we decided not to publish the full list that we have from book content.

4. The real severity of the Epstein case contain all the elements that can shake the interaction and relationship of few key countries.

The real and full story may never see the light, and better not. That’s all we can say.

The Book

The black book first emerged in court after Epsteins' former property manager Alfredo Rodriguez tried to sell it for $50,000. Gawker published it in 2015.

Names in the address book likely include aspirational contacts in addition to those Epstein had met personally.

Rodriguez circled three dozen entries but 'died' before clarifying their significance.

There are more than 1,500 people listed in Jeffrey Epsteins infamous little black book. Among them are royalty and nobility, celebrities and academics, art collectors and hedge funders, politicians and heads of state: a motley compendium of global high society.

The address book was unearthed by the FBI after Epsteins former Palm Beach, Florida, house manager Alfredo Rodriguez attempted to sell it to an attorney representing an Epstein accuser for $50,000 in 2009.

Rodriguez annotated dozens of entries — including those of Donald Trump, Les Wexner, Courtney Love, Ehud Barak, Alan Dershowitz, and two labelled "witness" - but died before he could illuminate their precise meaning.

A document submitted to a US court said: "Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms Giuffre's character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks.

"It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years. Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein and commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others. "He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims." Meanwhile, it was reported that the Queen agreed to help Andrew settle his civil sex case by personally making a £2million donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity. Under the terms of the £2m deal arranged by the Queen’s most senior advisors and the Duke of York’s legal team, the Queen agreed to help Andrew as long as she was not connected to any personal payment to Ms Giuffre, it is understood. A royal source said: “She could not be seen to be making a payment to a victim of sexual assault, who accused her son of being an abuser. Andrew settled his civil sex case three weeks ago “But a deal was structured in such a way to arrange a sizeable financial contribution to the settlement by way of a charitable donation instead.” Yesterday, it was also reported that Prince Charles is lending Andrew millions to pay the settlement. There had been growing calls for clarity on exactly how Andrew will fund the reported £12million payout, with demands that none of it be paid from public money. David McClure, author of The Queen’s True Worth, told the Mirror last month: “The sums involved in Prince Andrew’s settlement are extraordinary so the public do have a right to know if public money, or indeed the Queen’s personal funds, were used. But I wouldn’t hold your breath.” Meanwhile, it has also been reported that the monarch is allowing her shamed son to remain as Queen’s Counsellor of State and keep his dukedom and service rank of Vice-Admiral, despite pressure to strip him of all remaining privileges. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Two properties that were once at the centre of the disgraced financier's real estate portfolio are being listed for £97 million. Situated in the US Virgin Islands, Great St James and Little St James islands have been put on the market by Epstein's estate. According to reports in the US, money from their sale will help fund outstanding lawsuits filed by the late sex offender's victims and the costs of running the properties. Little St James is where the Duke of York's sex accuser Virginia Giuffre claimed in court he took part in a nine girl orgy with Epstein. The Prince vehemently denied her claims. Jeffrey Epstein arrived in the Virgin Islands in 1998, when he paid £6 million for Little St. James, a roughly 70-acre island. He called it Little St Jeff's. Ms Giuffre wrote in evidence to a Florida Court on January 19, 2015: "The third time I had sex with Andy was in an orgy on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands. "I was around 18 at the time. Epstein, Andy, approximately eight other young girls, and I had sex together. The other girls all seemed and appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English." Ms Giuffre added Epstein “laughed about the fact they couldn’t really communicate, saying that they are the ‘easiest’ girls to get along with”. The court filings were made in a civil defamation lawsuit filed by Ms Giuffre against since-convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The mum-of-three would later go on to sue Andrew in August 2021 for sex abuse in New York. The case was settled last month with a reported £12 million out of court settlement paid to Ms Giuffre by the royal. Before his jail cell suicide in August 2019, Epstein once described the United States Virgin Islands as "my favourite place to be." It became a haven for him and his associates, Epstein's victims claim to have been abused there. The financier's private 'Lolita Express' jet would fly him to St Thomas's international airport, where he would board a helicopter that flew him to his Little St. James and Great St. James islands. Once there, he was known to entertain famous friends and, his accusers have claimed in court filings, trafficked underage girls for sex. Epstein arrived in the Virgin Islands in 1998, when he paid £6 million for Little St. James, a roughly 70-acre island. He called it Little St Jeff's. In 2016, he bought the larger Great St. James for £13.25 million. The financier's private 'Lolita Express' jet would fly him to St Thomas's international airport, where he would board a helicopter that flew him to his Little St. James and Great St. James islands. Over the years, he spent millions more developing the islands, including building a villa with a library, a Japanese bathhouse and a movie theatre. When he was there, he cultivated close ties to the islands' political and financial elite. He once employed a governor's wife. Epstein hired an architecture firm owned by the same governor's uncle. He also donated money, sponsored scholarships and even gave dozens of computers to give away. A lawsuit filed by prosecutors in the US Virgin Islands two years ago alleged Epstein used his two secluded islands to engage in a nearly two-decade conspiracy to traffic and abuse girls as young as 11 years old. According to reports in the US, money from their sale will help fund outstanding lawsuits filed by the late sex offender's victims and the costs of running the propertie According to the complaint, he and others organised a search party to catch a 15-year-old victim trying to swim away and kept her passport to keep her captive. From 2001 to 2018, Epstein and his aides, among them Ghislaine Maxwell, flew girls from other countries to the Virgin Islands on the multimillionaire's private plane. Epstein, 66, killed himself in a New York federal jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December of sex trafficking and other charges for helping Epstein sexually abuse multiple teenage girls from 1994 to 2004. She is scheduled to be sentenced in June, although she has filed a motion for a retrial after a juror failed to reveal his own sexual abuse in a questionnaire before being selected to be on the panel. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The British socialite will now face sentencing on June 28, when she could be imprisoned for up to 60 years. The 60-year-old had moved to have her conviction vacated after it emerged a juror had failed to reveal he had been sexually abused as a child when asked. Scotty David went on to say in a series of media interviews how his own experience helped shaped the juror’s verdict once he revealed it to them. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges for helping paedophile Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse multiple teenage girls from 1994 to 2004. In her ruling, Judge Alison Nathan wrote of Scotty David’s omission that although “highly unfortunate”, it was “not deliberate”. She added: "The court further concludes that Juror 50 harboured no bias towards the defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror." Nathan added that the requirements for a new trial were not met. “The defendant's motion for a new trial is therefore denied,” she added. The decision came just hours after Maxwell’s lawyers ask for the judgment to be delayed after her attorneys were made aware of a “bombshell revelation” by a juror. Before the motion was denied her team filed a letter to the New York Court saying they had discovered the juror had been interviewed for a new documentary. The Brit’s lawyer Bobbi Sternum wrote: “We write to make the Court aware of new information concerning Juror 50 that may impact Ghislaine Maxwell’s pending motion for a new trial. “Paramount Plus will be airing an additional interview with Juror 50 in an original series titled “Ghislaine – Partner in Crime.” The trailer announced a “bombshell revelation” from Juror 50 in his “only in-depth interview.” They added: “We have been unable to access the series in order to review the content of Juror’s 50 statements nor have we learned whether the interview was recorded before he testified at the March 8 hearing. "The series was scheduled to air on March 29, but we have learned that Paramount is holding off airing the series pending the Court’s ruling concerning Juror 50. *“We bring to the Court’s attention this previously undisclosed interview and request a stay of any pending ruling review of the interview by the Court and counsel.”* Prince Andrew and The Fraudster Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson were allegedly paid 'substantial sums' - including a reported 'gift' of more than £750,000 - by a Turkish millionaire. Deputy High Court judge David Halpern named the royals in a recent ruling on a dispute between millionaire Nebahat Isbilen and businessman Selman Turk. Mrs Isbilen had needed assistance moving her assets out of Turkey after her husband was imprisoned there owing to his "political affiliations", the judge had been told. Mr Turk, a businessman and former banker, had agreed to help Mrs Isbilen move her assets out of reach of the Turkish authorities. She claims Mr Turk tricked her into giving Andrew £750,000 "by way of payment for assistance" with getting a passport, the court heard. The judge was told that "substantial sums" had been paid to Andrew and his wife. *There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on their part.* Prince Andrew with his ex Sarah Ferguson The court was told "substantial sums" were paid to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Andrew has since repaid the cash after she alleged it was a scam, Mail Online reports. Mrs Isbilen has alleged that Mr Turk "breached fiduciary obligations he owed to her" and "advances claims in deceit". She claims he "dishonestly misappropriated" $50million (£38million) of her money, the High Court heard. Mr Turk is fighting the case. The litigation is ongoing and has been heard at the High Court in London. A number of preliminary rulings have been published. Judge Halpern said a lawyer representing Mrs Isbilen had told him, in an affidavit, that information had emerged to show evidence given by Mr Turk was "misleading". The money to Prince Andrew was a payment for help he allegedly provided, The Royal Court of Justice heard He said solicitor Jonathan Tickner had told him how evidence showed that "money was used for purposes unconnected with Mrs Isbilen, e.g., substantial sums were paid to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and to Sarah, Duchess of York". Judge Halpern said barrister Dan McCourt Fritz, who represents Mrs Isbilen, had told him that the "total sums which his client claims were misappropriated" amounted to some 50 million US dollars (about £38 million). "Mr Turk has provided explanations for approximately two thirds of these sums, most of which have been allegedly spent on professional or other fees or lost in bad investments," the judge added, in his ruling. "No explanation at all has been given for the remaining one third." __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Brown — a high-powered journalist who previously edited Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and the Daily Beast — details the transactional friendship between the pedophile and the prince in her tome, “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor – the Truth and the Turmoil,” set for release later this month. “Privately, Epstein told people that Andrew was an idiot, but — to him — a useful one,” Brown writes in the book, excerpted in the Telegraph this weekend. “A senior royal, even if tainted, is always a potent magnet abroad,” Brown continues. “Epstein confided to a friend that he used to fly the Duke of York to obscure foreign markets, where governments were obliged to receive him, and Epstein went along as HRH’s investment adviser. With Andrew as frontman, Epstein could negotiate deals with these (often) shady players.” Andrew is pictured second from left with Melania Trump (far left), Gwendolyn Beck and Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in 2000. Epstein died behind bars in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex-trafficking charges. Andrew — who was famously photographed strolling with the pedophile in 2011 following Epstein’s first release from prison — has denied knowing anything about Epstein’s illegal behavior. Back in January, Queen Elizabeth stripped the prince of his military and royal titles after a Manhattan judge allowed a sexual assault lawsuit against the disgraced royal to move forward. The suit was filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 38, who has long claimed that Epstein made her have “disgusting” sex with the royal three times, starting in 2001 when she was just 17. Andrew’s lawyers say he “unequivocally denies Giuffre’s false allegations against him.” He has never been charged criminally. Maxwell Fathers’ Sadistic Physical Abuse Ghislaine Maxwell in 2013 in New York City. A 10-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell told house guests her father beat her with objects of her choosing — and Jeffrey Epstein referred to Prince Andrew as his useful “idiot,” according to an explosive upcoming book about the British royal family. Excerpts from author Tina Brown’s “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor — the Truth and the Turmoil,” published Monday in the Daily Telegraph, tell how Epstein, a New York financier, used his relationship with the prince to open doors in international circles and further enrich himself. The book, on shelves in two weeks, also explores how Maxwell’s unorthodox upbringing as the privileged daughter of media mogul and fraudster Robert Maxwell helped shape her twisted relationship with the convicted sex predator. The child abuse claims in “The Palace Papers” are attributed to a British newspaper heiress who knew Maxwell as a girl. “(Eleanor) Berry noticed an odd-shaped hairbrush, a strap, a slipper and other implements laid out on the child’s dressing room table. Ghislaine said, rather proudly, ‘(This) is what daddy uses to beat me with. But he always allows me to choose which one I want,’” reads the excerpt. “In the sadistic offering of power to the powerless, asking her, in essence, to procure herself for her father, one can better understand how Ghislaine fell under the spell of a man like Epstein.” Brown’s book describes Maxwell, who started dating the multimillionaire Epstein when she was 30 after moving to New York City, as “madly in love” with the late serial pedophile. “Their relationship quickly turned transactional: Epstein made the money, and Ghislaine made the introductions,” an excerpt reads. “Unable to hold his sexual attention, she found a way to keep him at her side by recruiting ‘nubiles’ (as she called them) to service his insatiable needs.” A jury convicted Maxwell on Dec. 29 of aiding Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme from 1994 to 2002. She faces up to 65 years in prison when sentenced in June. The former socialite’s lawyers argued at trial that she was a victim of Epstein’s manipulation and that prosecutors scapegoated her after his 2019 suicide. The Queen’s second son was Maxwell’s “biggest catch” for Epstein, Brown writes, and his relationship with the royal was also transactional. “Privately, Epstein told people that Andrew was an idiot, but — to him — a useful one. A senior royal, even if tainted, is always a potent magnet abroad. Epstein confided to a friend that he used to fly the Duke of York to obscure foreign markets, where governments were obliged to receive him, and Epstein went along as [his] investment adviser,” reads an excerpt. “With Andrew as frontman, Epstein could negotiate deals with these (often) shady players.” Andrew, who was accused in a civil case of having sex with one of Epstein’s alleged underage sex trafficking victims, visited the multimillionaire in New York with such regularity that Epstein gave him a “grandly decorated” Upper East Side guest suite nicknamed “the Britannica Suite,” according to Brown, founder of the Daily Beast and a former Vanity Fair editor in chief. “Epstein made Andrew feel he had joined the big time — the deals, the girls, the plane, the glittering New York world, where he wasn’t seen as a full-grown man still dependent on his mother’s Privy Purse strings or on the harsh pecking order of the Palace” Brown wrote. “The Duke was always as oversexed as a boob-ogling adolescent.” A spokesperson for the Maxwell family did not immediately respond to a request for comment. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Councillors voted for the removal in an Extraordinary Council Meeting held on Wednesday evening at the York Racecourse. It comes after the Prince earlier this year reached an out of court settlement with his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, in a civil sex claim filed in the US. It means that he has now avoided a potentially explosive trial with the settlement said to be £12million. Andrew has continually denied the allegations against him. Many councillors discussing the motion to remove Prince Andrew's Honorary Freedom of the City of York in the meeting this evening noted that the move was merely a starting point for the changes they felt should be made. A number of the councillors and members of public who spoke at the meeting at York Racecourse on Wednesday called for either the Queen or the Government to strip Andrew of the title Duke of York, thereby removing what Labour councillor Aisling Musson called: "This stain of an association with this city." He is the first person ever to have the Freedom of the City removed, councillors were told. There were two formal abstentions - from the Lord Mayor and Lord Mayor elect. Lib Dem Darryl Smalley, City of York Council's executive member for culture, leisure and communities and proposer of the motion, said the Honorary Freedom of York was the "highest honour" that the city could bestow on those who represented the "very best" of York. "The honour is held by many notable and accomplished people who carry it with pride and responsibly," he said. "Having been stripped of his military roles and royal patronages by the Queen, we believe that it is right to remove all links that Prince Andrew still has with our great city. "The removal of this honorary title sends the right message that we as a city stand with victims of abuse." The council had previously debated at length its commitment to stand with victims of sexual abuse and work to end violence against females, Mr Smalley added. Councilors said the motion did not go far enough "As such, we believe it's appropriate it is inappropriate for Prince Andrew to retain his ambassadorial title that is so intrinsically linked to our city and finally, the next logical step would be for Prince Andrew to do the right thing and relinquish the title," he said. "If he fails to do so, the Government and Buckingham Palace must step in to remove his title to finally end Prince Andrew's connection to York." First to speak from the public gallery on Wednesday evening was Gwen Swinburn, who said: "Mr Andrew Windsor is an utter disgrace. "He brings shame and reputational damage everywhere he goes, including to our city. "The motion to withdraw his status goes nowhere near far enough. He needs to be be declared persona non grata in York. "You (councillors) need to be starting whatever process is needed to remove his duke title." Councillors during the meeting of the York City Council at the York Racecourse Prince Andrew has faced calls to give up his ducal title for some time. Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who represents York Central, says Andrew must remove his association with the city in light of the out-of-court settlement reached with Virginia Giuffre. She said: “Although it is a relief that Prince Andrew has finally acknowledged and expressed regret for his close association with a convicted sex offender and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, his long delay in doing so and initial response to the charges and Ms Giuffre have been source of deep hurt and embarrassment to many people across the city. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell on Friday lost a bid to overturn her December 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges, paving the way for her to be sentenced to decades in prison. Maxwell, 60, who was convicted of helping recruit and sexually abuse girls for deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein to abuse, is scheduled to be sentenced in June. U.S. Circuit Judge Alison Nathan ruled on Friday that three counts of the guilty verdict were supported by testimony and evidence presented at Maxwell's trial in Manhattan federal court. Nathan, however, rejected the guilty verdicts reached on two of the counts, reducing the maximum possible sentence faced by Maxwell by 10 years to 55 years behind bars. Nathan said three of the charges effectively covered the same offense, so upheld only one of those three guilty verdicts. "This legal conclusion in no way calls into question the factual findings made by the jury," Nathan wrote. "Rather, it underscores that the jury unanimously found - three times over -that the Defendant is guilty of conspiring with Epstein to entice, transport, and traffic underage girls for sexual abuse." Maxwell was convicted on five of six charges at trial. Her request to overturn the conviction was separate from an earlier motion, also unsuccessful, for a new trial because of one juror's failure to disclose during jury selection that he had been sexually abused as a child. Maxwell's lawyers argued that if they had known about the juror's history, they would have struck him from the panel. But Nathan concluded that the juror was not biased against Maxwell and served as a fair and impartial juror. *Epstein, himself a convicted sex offender, died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019 at the age of 66* __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Prince Andrew's accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is facing sexual assault claims - after another alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein says the dead pedophile directed Giuffre to abuse her. The alleged incident was said to have taken place in the massage room of disgraced financier Epstein's townhouse in Manhattan and has come to light as the women are suing each other. In court filings, Oh's representatives claimed: '[Oh] was surprised when she was called to the massage room to see Epstein, and found Epstein and [Giuffre] waiting for her. '[Giuffre] then proceeded to touch [Oh] without [Oh's] consent and much to her horror. '[Oh] did not reciprocate or sexually touch [Giuffre].' Oh told the New York Post: 'I went into the massage room and [Giuffre] touched me without my consent; she sexually abused me. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Prince Andrew's alleged victim, has been accused of sexual assault in court 'I was standing there, frozen like a deer. I did not move. I was in shock. I felt mortified and was uncomfortable.' Oh said that she was introduced to Epstein after the end of a relationship and that she had once described the pedophile financier as a 'rich, older boyfriend' but now says she was a victim of sexual abuse. Giuffre's attorney Kat Thomas told the New York Post: 'The allegations of sexual assault against Ms. Giuffre are not true.' The legal dispute between the two women began when Oh filed a defamation lawsuit against Giuffre after the latter tweeted that Oh 'procured & partook in the abuse of minors' with Epstein. Oh is seeking $10million in damages. Giuffre countersued claiming to be 'the victim of the sadomasochist sexual play and physical abuse perpetrated against her by Oh, including cutting, slashing and other physical injuries during the sadomasochist sessions. Giuffre recently reached a settlement with Prince Andrew worth a reported $12million after sex trafficking claims that she said took place when she was a 'sex slave' for Jeffrey Epstein Giuffre recently reached a settlement with Prince Andrew worth a reported $12million after sex trafficking claims that she said took place when she was a 'sex slave' for Jeffrey Epstein Oh denied the allegations to the Post, saying: 'I never cut her leg. I never touched her. I never heard of anyone doing anything like that during my involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. 'I am not that kind of person. I am afraid of needles and faint when my blood gets taken.' Giuffre recently reached a settlement with Prince Andrew worth a reported $12million after sex trafficking claims. The prince agreed to pay a huge sum to settle the case before it reached a jury. Although the agreement contained no formal admission of liability from Andrew, or an apology, it said he now accepted Miss Roberts was a 'victim of abuse' and that he regretted his association with Epstein, the disgraced financier who trafficked countless young girls. It also said the prince accepted that Miss Roberts, now 38, had been subjected to 'unfair public attacks' and that he had never intended to 'malign her character'. Millionaire financier Epstein reportedly abused dozens of girls as young as 14 at the opulent property, before his arrest in July 2019. He reportedly installed hundreds of pinhole cameras throughout the home to spy on his victims in 'private moments' in bathrooms and bedrooms. The house was also said to feature an array of bizarre decor, from an oil painting of Bill Clinton in heels and a blue dress, to a large taxidermy tiger.

Sources in Verbier, where he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson own the seven-bedroom property, say the chalet has been placed “under sequestration” due to an alleged £1.6m debt. According to Le Temps, a Swiss newspaper, Andrew and Fergie entered into a business arrangement with an unnamed couple in the resort and the reported £1.6m debt prompted the sequestration of the property, named Henora. In February, it emerged that Andrew had found a buyer for the chalet and aimed to use the proceeds to help pay off his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre. He did not accept any liability when he made the settlement. But the sequestration means the sale of the chalet, which has an indoor pool and sauna, looks in peril. Geneva law professor Nicolas Jeandin told Le Temps: “A sale is in principle impossible, except with the agreement of the creditor.” Andrew is understood to be disputing he owes the full £1.6m, but he does not deny an unpaid debt. Prince Andrew with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson A source close to the Duke said: “Talks are underway to resolve the matter. It in no way prevents the sale of the chalet, which is proceeding.” Removal vans from London firm Abels arrived this week, but sources said the buyer was getting restless. One warned: “The whole deal could collapse at any moment.”Andrew agreed to pay a reported £12m to Ms Giuffre, who had accused him of sexually assaulting her while she was his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave. He vehemently denies the claims.

Ian Maxwell had arranged with prison authorities to visit his sister inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn when he was told he could not enter the facility. The 60-year-old former girlfriend of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein is currently in the jail awaiting sentencing later this month. Maxwell, who is a close friend of Prince Andrew has only managed one visit by a family member since her arrest. Ghislaine Maxwell is currently awaiting sentence having been convicted of trafficking young girls for a former boyfriend, paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein Maxwell is facing 55 years in prison for her role in arranging young girls for Epstein Speaking to the Telegraph, Mr Maxwell said: 'I flew to New York on Tuesday, stayed the night in Brooklyn and then walked over to the prison on Wednesday, only to discover that the whole prison was in lockdown that had been imposed a few hours earlier. 'The official put a call into the legal office and they said "no". If I had flown from the moon, it would not have made any difference. They were not going to change.' Mr Maxwell said they would not be able to put a call through to his sister because of the situation inside the men's section of the jail. He claimed his sister is being held in in-human conditions and is being made a scapegoat. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

In a pre-sentencing report, Maxwell’s attorneys provided detailed descriptions of her allegedly perilous conditions in jail, and described an emotionally distressing upbringing, as part of their argument for leniency. They made the shocking allegation that “an inmate in Ms Maxwell’s unit threatened to kill her, claiming that an additional 20 years’ incarceration would be worth the money she’d receive for murdering Ms Maxwell”. Jeffrey Epstein,Ghislaine Maxwell<br>FILE - Audrey Strauss, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, points to a photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, during a news conference in New York on July 2, 2020. A judge has declined to throw out Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction, despite a juror’s failure to disclose he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse. U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan on Friday, April 1, 2022, refused to order a new trial for Maxwell, who was convicted in December of helping the American millionaire Epstein abuse several teenage girls. “One of the female inmates in Ms Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep,” her attorneys claimed. They also claimed that Maxwell’s father, the late disgraced publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, was abusive toward her and his other children. “Ghislaine vividly recalls a time when, at age 13, she tacked a poster of a pony on the newly painted wall of her bedroom. Rather than mar the paint with tape, she carefully hammered a thin tack to mount the poster,” the attorneys wrote. “This outraged her father, who took the hammer and banged on Ghislaine’s dominant hand, leaving it severely bruised and painful for weeks to come.” Maxwell was convicted on 29 December of sex trafficking and related charges for luring girls, some aged just 14, into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, for him to abuse. She insists on her innocence. Epstein, a convicted sex offender who once counted Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton among his rich and powerful associates, was arrested by federal authorities in July 2019, on sex-trafficking counts. He killed himself while awaiting trial in a New York City federal jail. Maxwell is scheduled to be sentenced on 28 June and she faces up to 55 years behind bars. However, authorities calculate sentencing recommendations based on guidelines that take into account a variety of factors, such as a person’s criminal history. The US probation department, which makes sentencing recommendations, has suggested a punishment of 240 months imprisonment. Maxwell’s sentence is ultimately up to the judge. In asking for a lighter-than-recommended sentence, Maxwell’s lawyers argued that she can’t be a surrogate for Epstein, writing “this Court cannot sentence Ms Maxwell as if she were a proxy for Epstein simply because Epstein is no longer here”. “Ms Maxwell cannot and should not bear all the punishment for which Epstein should have been held responsible. Ms Maxwell has already experienced a hard time during detention under conditions far more onerous and punitive than any experienced by a typical pretrial detainee, and she is preparing to spend significantly more time behind bars,” they wrote. “Her life has been ruined.” “Ms Maxwell is not a dangerous criminal or a habitual offender. She is someone who wants nothing more than to live a normal family life – something she was denied because of her association with Epstein and will now almost certainly never have,” they also wrote. “The public does not need to be protected from Ms Maxwell and such considerations should have no weight in determining her sentence.” They also claimed that her experiences as a youth created susceptibility to Epstein. “She had a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic and demanding father,” they wrote. “It made her vulnerable to Epstein, whom she met right after her father’s death. It is the biggest mistake she made in her life and one that she has not and never will repeat.” Maxwell’s siblings made additional claims about their father’s impact on her relationship with Epstein, with two writing in a sentencing submission that “we witnessed our father taking Ghislaine under his wing whereby she became over dependent on his approval and vulnerable to his frequent rapid mood swings, huge rages and rejections”. “This led her to becoming very vulnerable to abusive and powerful men who would be able to take advantage of her innate good nature,” they said. “It is striking that Ghislaine did not show any perverse behaviour before she met Epstein. Nor did she show any after leaving him, which she eventually managed to do.” “The effect of our father’s psychologically abusive treatment of her, foreshadowed Epstein’s own ability to exploit, manipulate and control her,” they claimed. Maxwell’s attorneys also insisted that she wasn’t hiding when federal agents arrested her in July 2020, but rather feared for her safety following Epstein’s arrest and death – claiming she had gotten “death threats”. “Tragically, this experience was not new for Ms Maxwell,” her legal team wrote. “Decades earlier, when Ms Maxwell was just a child and her father was a member of Parliament, UK authorities found a ‘hit list’ of potential kidnapping/assassination targets in a safehouse used by the Irish Republican Army. Ms Maxwell’s name was first on the list.” Maxwell’s sentencing will take place nearly three months after Judge Alison Nathan rejected her request for a new trial following revelations that a juror in her case did not disclose childhood sexual abuse during jury selection. Juror No 50, Scotty David, sat for interviews following Maxwell’s trial during which he talked about experiencing childhood sexual abuse. David claimed that he told other jurors about this, in order for them to understand facts from a victim’s point of view. Nathan questioned David on 8 March about this omission. David, who was granted immunity to testify, claimed that he was distracted while completing the screening questionnaire. Nathan ruled that she believed David’s explanation – that he had made an “honest mistake” – was true and “that Juror 50 was not biased and would not have been stricken for cause even if he had answered each question on the questionnaire accurately.” __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

A lawyer says the Duke was at American paedophile Epstein’s mansion the night Epstein raped a teenager there. Spencer Kuvin wants a statement from Andrew and is threatening to formally serve him with legal papers in person if necessary. Mr Kuvin acts for Caroline Kaufman, 28, who claims Epstein attacked her at his New York home when Prince Andrew was a guest there in December 2010. He said: “We are looking into serving Prince Andrew. We’d get a subpoena issued here in the States which is brought over to England and localised, then we would have to locate him and have him served. He should be a fairly easy target to locate.” Jeffrey Epstein poses for a sex offender mugshot after being charged with procuring a minor for prostitution Reports last week suggested Andrew is eyeing a return to public life. One source was quoted as saying the Duke feels that his titles should be reinstated “and his position recognised and respected”. The Prince, 62, lost his HRH and other titles over claims by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre that he sexually assaulted her three times when she was 17. Prince Andrew could be dragged back into the Jeffery Epstein sex scandal Andrew said he had no memory of meeting her but in February he settled the US civil case out of court for an undisclosed sum, said to be millions. At the time he pledged to support the “fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims” in a statement. But Florida-based Mr Kuvin added: “Frankly, it’s an embarrassment to the Royal Family he is attempting a comeback at all. Caroline Kaufman, pictured as a teen, claims she was raped by Epstein “If Prince Andrew wants to stay true to his word I urge him to provide a statement about what happened the night Caroline was attacked. He should be volunteering, we shouldn’t be looking into serving him to get his deposition. “Caroline wants to know what he has to say. She wants all witnesses to come forward.” Financier Epstein hanged himself in jail in 2019 aged 66. A representative for the Duke declined to comment. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

One, Juliette Bryant, told a court of the nightmares she had suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein after being trafficked by Maxwell, and said: “Simply put, she is a monster.” Tonight, lawyers outside New York’s federal court called for other associates of the pair to be investigated – including Prince Andrew. Brad Edwards, who secured the Duke of York’s sex accuser Virginia Giuffre a £12million out-of-court settlement, appealed to the FBI not to stop its investigation. Asked about others possibly linked to Maxwell and Epstein, he said: “Let’s hope they’re the next target. If we have anything to do with it, they will be.” He was backed by top lawyer Spencer Kuvin, who represents several of Epstein and Maxwell’s victims. The attorney told the Mirror: “Obviously, Andrew is one of the targets they will be looking into. “He should definitely be concerned, but.. if he did nothing wrong, then come forward and tell the full story to the FBI, not the media.” Mr Kuvin named other targets, which included another Briton. In sentencing, Judge Alison Nathane said Maxwell, 60, and Epstein used a “playbook” and the result was “incalculable” damage to their victims. Ghislaine Maxwell attends her sentencing hearing in a courtroom sketch in New York City She said: “A substantial sentence will send an unmistakable message that those who engage in sexual abuse and trafficking of underage victims will be held accountable by the law. “The rule of law demands, and this court agrees, that whether you are rich or powerful or entirely unknown, nobody is above the law.” Judge Nathan added that Maxwell was “not being punished in place of Epstein”, calling the crimes “heinous and predatory”. She told Maxwell: “A sentence of 240 months is sufficient and no graver than necessary.” Maxwell looked at her victims, telling them: “I am sorry for the pain that you experienced. “I hope my conviction and harsh incarceration brings you pleasure.” Sarah Ransome and Elizabeth Stein, victims of Jeffery Epstein, arrive for the sentencing of the Ghislaine Maxwell She had arrived in court wearing a prison-issue uniform with shackles around her ankles which rattled as she made her way to her seat. Maxwell had hoped to serve less than three years with time off for the 22 months she spent on remand. With good behaviour, she could be released in her mid to late 70s. She was also fined the maximum amount possible, $750,000 (£612,000). Judge Nathan noted Maxwell was in line for a bequest of £8.2million from Epstein, but Maxwell’s lawyer Bobbi Sternheim said she had not received the money and did not expect to. Maxwell will be eligible to serve most of her sentence in the UK if she applies for a transfer after three years. Sternheim requested the Briton be sent to a low-security female prison in Danbury, Connecticut and enrolled in a trauma treatment programme. Victim Annie Farmer (L) and her lawyer Sigrid McCawley Lawyer Lisa Bloom, who represents several Epstein victims and a witness who claims to have seen Andrew with Ms Giuffre together, told the Mirror: “We call upon the FBI to fully investigate Prince Andrew. “Virginia Giuffre’s civil case should be just the beginning. Everyone associated with Epstein and Maxwell should be carefully investigated.” In January 2020, then US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman, said: “To date, Prince Andrew has provided zero cooperation.” US investigators later applied to the British government to hand over the Duke to give evidence through a “Mutual Legal Assistance” request to the Home Office, bypassing Buckingham Palace. If approved, the FBI could ask Andrew to be compelled to go to a British court to give evidence under oath as a witness. The Home Office has refused to comment on the status of the MLA. Maxwell was convicted last December of sex trafficking minors for her former lover Epstein. Prosecutor Alison Moe told the court: “Maxwell trapped young girls in a horrifying nightmare. What kind of person flies around on a plane with underage girls so her boyfriend always has someone to touch? To Maxwell, there were two kinds of people in this world – the people who really matter and the people who were disposable.” The packed New York courtroom sat in silence today as four victims told how they had fallen prey to Maxwell and Epstein. ‘Kate’ was a former model from the UK who told jurors Maxwell invited her to her London home, where she was told to “have a good time” after finding Epstein naked inside. She told the court Maxwell namedropped being a friend of Prince Andrew before asking the victim, 17 at the time, to find someone to give him “a blowj”. Kate told Judge Nathan: “She is not sorry and would do it again.” In her statement, Briton Sarah Ransome, who grew up in Scotland and did not give evidence in the trial, said the two turned her into “nothing more than a sex toy with a heartbeat”. She said she was so traumatised, she tried to kill herself by leaping off a cliff into shark-infested water on Epstein’s island in the US Virgin Islands. She added: “I was caught by Maxwell and company moments before jumping. That extremely risky escape seemed more appealing than being raped one more time”. Ghislaine Maxwell with her parents in 1990 Another victim, Elizabeth Stein – who did not take part in the trial – told how she had an abortion after being raped and trafficked. She said: “Things happened that were so traumatising that to this day, I’m unable to speak about them.” At her three-week trial in December, a jury heard Maxwell “served up” underage girls for paedophile Epstein at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. Between 1994 and 2004, Maxwell was Epstein’s “right hand” and paid girls for sexualised massages and even took part in the abuse. Carolyn testified that she was one of several underprivileged teens who lived near Epstein’s Florida home and took up an offer to give massages in exchange for $100 (£82) bills. Maxwell made all the arrangements, Carolyn told the jury.** Kate said Maxwell recruited her in London in 1994 when she was 17, inviting her for tea and then asking her back to give Epstein a massage. ‘Jane’ said that in 1994 when she was 14, she was told to follow Epstein into a pool house at his Palm Beach estate, where he performed a sex act. She told the jury: “I was frozen in fear”. Ms Giuffre, who could not attend today’s hearing due to a medical issue, provided a statement to the court reading: “Together, you (and Epstein) damaged me physically, mentally, sexually, and emotionally. For me and for so many others, you opened the door to hell. “You deserve to spend the rest of your life in a jail cell.” Outside court, Maxwell’s lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, said her client had been “pilloried” and “convicted in the court of public opinion”. She said Maxwell would appeal, and suggested jurors saw her as a stand-in for Epstein – who died in jail awaiting trial – adding: “Clever and cunning to the end, Jeffrey Epstein left Ghislaine Maxwell holding the whole bag.” Prince Andrew declined to comment __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years earlier this week. Now Paul Page, who served as an armed protection officer from 1998 to 2004, has claimed they were told to wave her in to Buckingham Palace when she arrived. He claims he would often see Maxwell coming and going from Andrew's apartments. Page, who was jailed for fraud in 2009, told The Sun : "She was allowed to enter and exit the Palace night and day at will. Ghislaine Maxwell, with the Duke of York "Myself and my other colleagues formed the opinion they were in some sort of relationship." Page has also claimed he saw Prince Andrew and Maxwell having an "intimate picnic" in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, right below the Queen's bedroom window. This is not the first time Page has made such claims. In January he said in an ITV programme that Maxwell visited Buckingham Palace up to four times in one day. Mr Page told ITV’s Ranvir Singh: “From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, we suspected that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew.” He went on: “She kept coming in and out, in and out.” Andrew and Maxwell have not been linked as lovers but are known to be friends. Buckingham Palace did not offer any comment when contacted by The Mirror. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

BBC News 8 JUL 2022. Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December of recruiting and trafficking four teenage girls for abuse by her then-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein Epstein took his own life in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial. Maxwell's appeal process was expected and will likely last several months. During her trial, her lawyers argued that she was being scapegoated for Epstein's crimes, calling her friendship with the financier the "biggest mistake of her life". Judge Alison J Nathan rejected attempts to throw out the case, including after Maxwell's lawyers argued that one juror had failed to inform the court that he had been abused as a child. She also rejected arguments that Maxwell had not been allowed to prepare adequately for her trial, and that prosecutors had waited too long to bring their case against her. Pronouncing the sentence in June, Judge Nathan said Maxwell's conduct had been "heinous and predatory" and that she "played a pivotal role" in Epstein's abuse. As well as jail time, the judge imposed a fine of $750,000 (£610,000). Her lawyer had asked for a sentence of no more than five years. It remains unclear on what grounds Maxwell plans to appeal. Her lawyers were not required to give a reason in Thursday's legal filing. Addressing her victims in the Manhattan courthouse in June, Maxwell said she empathised with them, adding that she hoped her prison sentence would allow the victims "peace and finality". Maxwell has been in custody since her arrest in July 2020, held mostly at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. The case against the British former socialite has been one of the highest-profile since the emergence of the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to speak out about sexual abuse. The crimes of Epstein, who mixed with some of the world's most famous people, were first reported in the media in 2005 and he served prison time in Florida in 2008-09 on a state charge of procuring a minor for prostitution. Following numerous lawsuits, he was arrested again in 2019 in a federal case in New York.

Andrew agreed to sit down with presenter Emily Maitlis on 14 November 2019 at Buckingham Palace, where he was questioned about his association with paedophile and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Photographer Mark Harrison, who was present during the BBC sit down, took a snap that would cause serious embarrassment if it ever got out, it has been claimed. A source said the image was 'jaw-dropping' - but offered little more detail. The Duke of York's car crash interview is reportedly set to be turned into a movie and could star Hugh Grant - and in-the-know producers may want to recreate their own version. It is understood Andrew insisted the picture taken on the day never becomes public but an insider close to the show teased that everything has a price. A source said: "It's the kind of thing which would make the public drop their cornflakes, it is definitely not what Andrew would want out there and apparently he insisted that it remained secret. "Our jaws dropped to the floor when we saw it. It would cause Andrew much embarrassment. The Duke said he regrets agreeing to the Newsnight interview "There is, of course, a chance that it will at some point come out for all to see, perhaps if the price is right and of course the movie about the interview is happening so that is a possibility." A spokeswoman for the Prince declined to comment. The story of how the BBC obtained the bombshell interview is set to become a film, with the title Scoop. The fall out from the interview led to the Duke of York pledging to step back from public life - and he made no public appearances at his mother the Queen's recent Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The interview was the beginning of the end of Andrew's life as an active royal According to entertainment website Deadline, Scoop could star Hugh Grant as the prince - although casting has not begun and a director has not yet been appointed. The film is being written by British screenwriter Peter Moffat, who told the publication the movie will be "about how the BBC’s Newsnight team got the scoop, then the actual filming of it". He added: "The other thing is, ‘why did he agree to do it?’. “How was it that he decided it was a good idea to do a great big long interview with Emily Maitlis on the BBC?” In the interview, Andrew declined to say he regretted the friendship with Epstein, with his memorable answers including details of his visit to Pizza Express with daughter Princess Beatrice and saying he was medically unable to sweat. Andrew vehemently denied any accusations of wrongdoing over his links to Epstein, including allegations he had sex with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 years old. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

But Prince Harry is having to take LEGAL action after his police security detail was removed whilst he was in the UK The Duke of York's Metropolitan Police and Home Office security detail was assessed after the Queen stripped her second-eldest son of his military affiliations and royal patronages and removed his HRH (His Royal Highness) title. The decision was made after Virginia Giuffre claimed Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew on three occasions when she was just 17 and brought a legal case against him in the US. Andrew later agreed to a financial settlement with Ms Giuffre. He has always vehemently denied the claims. It was originally claimed that the settlement cost £12 million but it was reported last weekend that a reduced deal between £3 million and £5 million was negotiated by Andrew's lawyers. The Daily Telegraph reported that the Royal and VIP Executive Committee concluded that Andrew was still entitled to the round-the-clock police protection. He will still be accompanied by a personal protection officer whenever he leaves his home. Permanent security arrangements are in place for the 30-room Royal Lodge on the Queen’s Windsor estate. Official royal duties are no longer assigned to Andrew. With the exception of horse riding and frequently visiting the Queen, it is not known how he currently fills his time. The taxpayer pays for his police protection at an estimated cost of between £2 million and £3 million a year. Andrew's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie lost their taxpayer-funded protection after a row in 2011. It is thought Prince Charles stepped in after the younger of his nieces racked up huge security costs as she travelled the world on her gap year. A report published at the time suggested Eugenie spent more than £100,000 of taxpayers' money as she explored India, America, Thailand and South Africa. She paid for hotels and travel herself, but the massive security bill, including overtime money, was funded by the taxpayer. Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex also do not have round-the-clock security. They are only guarded by police protection officers while carrying out official duties and engagements. The Home Office and Met Police have been contacted for comment. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The US con is a feared figure among inmates after having her hotel heir husband and mother-in-law bumped off and her friendship with Maxwell will no doubt offer the Brit some protection in the brutal prison world. A source there said: “Once inside, Ghislaine gravitated towards Narcy. “Because of her length of time inside and the brutality of her crime, she is treated like a female don. “All the younger girls address her as ‘Miss Novack’ out of respect. “Ghislaine will have a modicum of protection through her friendship, but given their ages and millionaire backgrounds, they were always destined to get on well. “Together, they spend hours talking, laughing and joking.” Maxwell is serving 20 years after being convicted last December of luring young girls for her disgraced ex, financier Jeffrey Epstein, to molest. Despite their crimes, Tallahassee is categorised as a low-security prison that has a range of courses and work placements for inmates. There are apprenticeships in several fields, including gardening, baking, cooking, and housekeeping. Yoga, pilates, weights, softball and frisbee are offered as leisure pursuits. While the two new prison pals both enjoyed tycoon lives on the outside, that is where their similarities end. Maxwell, inmate 02879-509, was born into a life of privilege, partying with princes, stars and aristocracy. But ruthless Novack worked her way up in US society through stripping and sex. Novack is currently serving a prison sentence in Florida* The interior of Bernice Novack's car, found bloodied outside her Fort Lauderdale home She regularly swapped lovers for a richer, more wealthy man and eventually met multi-millionaire playboy Ben Novak Jr in her strip club. Years later, she was the mastermind behind the brutal murder of the 52-year-old and his mother Bernice, 86, in a twisted plot motivated by greed and revenge over claims Ben had cheated. The pair were killed three months apart by hitmen hired by voodoo fan Novack and arranged by her bus driver brother Cristobal Veliz. Bernice was the widow of Ben Novack Sr, who owned the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel, frequented by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. She was found dead in a pool of blood on April 5, 2009, in the garage of her Fort Lauderdale home. It was ruled she died in a fall. But when Ben, who stood to inherit a £8.5million fortune, detectives reopened the case. Ben and Narcy Novack* They found Bernice been battered with a monkey wrench. The medical examiner believes she had stumbled from place to place in the home but eventually fell in the garage. Many believe Ben’s suspicions had grown about Novack’s involvement, but the assassins struck again before he could make any accusations. Novack had accompanied him to a convention for his company at the Hilton Rye Town in Rye Brook, New York. The two hitmen said at her trial Novack had let them into the couple’s suite on the morning of July 12, 2009. Ben was asleep when he was attacked in his bed with dumbbells.* The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach They bound him with duct tape - and Novack threw them a pillow to muffle her dying husband’s screams. She ordered the men to gouge out his eyes with a knife so, despite being dead, he could never look at a woman. Novack later pretended she had found her husband’s body. But police were suspicious from the off and struggled to believe her story. She the stole more than £90,000 from his company, paying off the killers, Alejandro Garcia and Joel Gonzales. They eventually confessed in 2010. In exchange for lesser sentences of 210 months and 120 months respectively, the pair co-operated with police leading to Novack and her brother being found guilty of the murders. During their trial, the siblings blamed Novack’s daughter, May Abad, for orchestrating the killings, claiming she was motivated by benefits from Ben’s estate. But the jury saw through their lies. Ghislaine Maxwell has been sent to FCI Tallahassee in Florida* Assistant US Attorney Elliott Jacobson described the pair as “pathological liars”, adding: “They are extraordinarily dangerous sociopaths.” Ben had grown up in one of Florida’s most affluent and famous families. But using his business skills, he made his own millions through a company that organised events and and conventions. Wealthy and eligible, Ben attracted the attention of many women, including Ecuador-born Narcissa Cira Veliz Pacheco, also known as Narcy. When they met, she was a blonde stripper working in Florida under the name of Sylvia. Her background was one of poverty and struggles. Narcy married Ben in 1991, much to the disapproval of Bernice and with his money, she transformed into the role of the trophy wife. The couple were dripping in jewellery and lived in a £2.4million home. They seemed to have it all from the outside, but their marriage was fatally flawed. Once, police were called to their home to find Ben tied in what looked like a kidnapping attempt - but Novack insisted it was part of a sex game. During her trial, it emerged he had paid porn actress Rebecca Bliss for sex. The couple went on to have an affair When Novack found out, she was petrified Ben would leave her and she would end up struggli ng again. Their prenuptial agreement meant she would only be left with £55,000, not his millions. First, she tried and failed to pay Bliss off. In her fury, Novack hatched a plot to keep hold of his £8.5 million fortune. Later the X-rated star would testify that after the rejection, Novack told her: “If I can’t have him, no one will.” The case inspired the 2015 Hollywood movie called Beautiful and Twisted starring Rob Lowe Inside FCI Tallahassee in Florida where Ghislaine Maxwell is spending her sentence Beautiful and Twisted __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The disgraced British socialite is working in the legal department at low-security FCI Tallahassee in Florida – walking straight into the position to the fury of other lags. When not socialising in her unit, the convicted teen sex trafficker can be found behind a desk handing out legal forms. Maxwell, 60, has been given the privileged role by prison bosses, working weekdays in her outfit of matching khaki trousers and shirt. A source said: “Many of the girls were p*** at how she swanned in and was given such a plum job. “They joke she has done a Shawshank Redemption and landed on her feet with her library gig. “There are girls inside who have washed thousands of floors, peeled thousands of vegetables, done all manner of things, including keeping their noses clean, hoping for such a gig. Yet Ghislaine is gifted it.” Jailed Ghislaine Maxwell has become best pals with one of most infamous US female killers The Shawshank Redemption film movie Tx: Sunday 9 September Pictured: actor Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman The source added: “She is highly intelligent. The IQ of most of in there, you can imagine, is low, but all the girls know you have to earn the right for such a job.” The Shawshank Redemption movie from 1994 has lead character Andy Dufresne, portrayed by Tim Robbins, as an inmate who runs a prison library after being sentenced for the murder of his wife. Yet the position for Maxwell, the daughter of the late publisher Robert Maxwell, is still a most spectacular fall from grace. She was once, not least with the help of her paedo ex Jeffrey Epstein, a central figure in the partying lives of billionaires, the bourgeoisie, princes, and presidents. FCI Tallahassee in Florida, USA Ghislaine Maxwell has been sent to FCI Tallahassee in Florida, USA, where she will serve a 20-year sentence** The prison insider added: “Ghislaine’s life could not be more different. Gone are Prada clothes and foie gras. Her posh accent stands out a mile while she is surrounded by killers, drug runners, fraudsters and other sex offenders. If only her pals could see her now.” Maxwell, who allegedly introduced Prince Andrew to his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre, is not due for released before July 2037, She is with the general prison population in Unit B South – a dormitory of 120 beds separated into cul-de-sacs of four bunks. Maxwell can visit the store once a fortnight and spend a maximum of £306 at a time. Inmates can earn money through various jobs or people can top up their accounts. Maxwell, while awaiting trial, made 100-plus complaints about harsh conditions at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre.

BBC 16 OCT 2022 Melania Trump, Prince Andrew, Gwendolyn Beck and Jeffrey Epstein at a party at the Mar-a-Lago club, Palm Beach, Florida in 2000. In a bombshell first interview from prison after being convicted for sex trafficking teenage girls, disgraced former socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has spoken about her “dear friend” Prince Andrew. The right-hand woman and one-time girlfriend of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein spoke to documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak as part of an upcoming CBS-Paramount Plus special. “I feel so bad for him,” she said, Mail on Sunday reports.

He is paying such a price for the association. I consider him a dear friend. I care about him." The two bombshell interviews took place face-to-face at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre in June and remotely from her current jail in Tallahassee, Florida. Maxwell said she regrets her close association with the billionaire financier who was found dead in his cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, because it turned her into a “wicked witch.” “Meeting Epstein was the greatest mistake of my life,” she admitted. “And obviously, if I could go back today, I would avoid meeting him, and I would make different choices.” Prince Andrew served in the military as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War but lost his military titles after outcry over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and allegations he abused Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims when she was 17. He has repeatedly and vehemently denied the claims and settled out of court with Ms Giuffre, making no admission of guilt. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Prince Andrew: Banished premiered last week on Pea; its description on the platform calls the film "the story of how, through arrogance and lust, the Duke of York's scandals and his friendship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein nearly sank the British monarchy." According to reports, The documentary achieves a no-holds-barred, highly critical deep-dive into a man whose nicknames ranged from “The Playboy Prince” to “Air Miles Andy.” Interviewees included everyone from palace guards and journalists to socialites and royal secretaries, with almost no one having a positive thing to say about teh disgraced prince. People, who interviewed for the documentary, expressed disbelief at how he had conducted himself, in a manner wholly removed from that of the rest of his family, even before news broke of his association with Epstein and accusations of abuse by Virginia Roberts Giuffre. “Prince Andrew was one of the lads,” Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, as per Independent, says in the film. "He was very mischievous. And of course, Prince Phillip loved this boy who was everything that perhaps Charles hadn’t been. So he had even more attention lavished on him." __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL** ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Ghislaine Maxwell's early morning runs are part of the monotonous and controlled regime she lives now under Dressed in a standard-issue grey T-shirt, matching sweat shorts and trainers, the convicted teen sex trafficker pounds out the miles, locked up and locked alone in her thoughts. Only the presence of uniformed warders and roll upon roll of razor-sharp barbered wire provides a reminder that the women dressed in similar attire are actual prisoners. Prince Andrew's pal Maxwell - pictured outside for the first time in almost a decade - was captured behind Federal Correction Institute Tallahassee's fences, where she is set to spend the next 20 years of her life. Her early morning runs are part of the monotonous and controlled regime she lives now under. The four-lane prison track is a world away from New York's Fifth Avenue sidewalks, where she once shopped, partied and dined with her aristocratic friends. The convicted teen sex trafficker pounds out the miles, locked up and locked alone in her thoughts Despite her age, the 60-year-old is known among inmates to be a fitness fanatic, sometimes beating other, much younger women in a race. "Ghislaine is incredibly fit," said a prison source. "She runs almost every day, and when not jogging on the track, she will walk with one of her friends. "For her age, she is incredibly active and does a 40 minutes session completing lap after lap without stopping before she needs to be back inside. The disgraced daughter of crooked media tycoon Robert Maxwell was captured over several days, exercising inside the prison fences "She is happy to be allowed out in the open once again, where she has at least some semblance of freedom. "When not working in the law library, she stays outside in the sun for hours. "She is very, very sociable." As the Mirror's exclusive pictures and videos show, Maxwell maintains her fitness with a daily routine. We watched as she pounded out of the 400m asphalt track inside the low-security prison and chatted animatedly with a friend while laughing hysterically. The disgraced British socialite regularly completes eight laps while walking the course with her much younger pal on other days. FCI Tallahassee is only a few hours from the Palm Beach mansion of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, where she enticed and groomed minor girls to be abused at his hands. Maxwell was sentenced in June after being found guilty of recruiting his victims and trafficking underage girls for him to sexual abuse. The billionaire Wall Street financier and convicted sex offender killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019. Epstein had been awaiting his own sex trafficking trial. Following her sentencing in June and after more than 500 days of being confined inside New York's tough Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC), Maxwell, by her own admission, is enjoying her new home. "I saw the sunlight for the first time, and I saw grass for the first time. So that was lovely," she said shortly after her arrival. "And the food is actually better here by a large margin." Maxwell is in FCI Tallahassee as her offences are too severe for her to be placed in an open prison – the usual destination for white-collar criminals. But her prison is hardly the Gulag. It has a running track, a softball pitch, a basketball court, and manicured gardens. It is where, according to America's Bureau of Prisons, inmate 02879-509 as Maxwell is known in the system, will be held until May 17, 2037. It is a far cry from the MDC, in which Maxwell complained more than 100 times about her treatment. At one point, her family even petitioned the United Nations, highlighting conditions, including her being deprived of sleep by guards at the jail. Her prison has a running track, a softball pitch, a basketball court, and manicured gardens "She is awakened constantly at night and has been subjected, for the 500+ days of her detention, to a 'suicide watch' – completely inappropriate in the case of a non-suicidal person – involving a flashlight shone every 15 minutes on her face to check that she is breathing, literally preventing her from sleeping," the petition stated. Maxwell was also repeatedly searched throughout the day and claimed she was inappropriately sexually touched by guards on numerous occasions during the searches. At one point, her lawyers claimed another inmate placed a $1 million bounty on her head. But now firmly settled into Tallahassee, Maxwell has spoken about how much better her treatment has been - a move that earned her night in Special Housing Unit (SHU) as punishment. "Everybody here so far has been extremely professional, and I have not experienced any of the gross violations of my rights that I experienced at MDC," she said in a recent interview. "I don't feel unsafe. And I am perfectly able to live and work here." However, the Mirror reveals that Maxwell was taken out of the general population last week and put in the SHU. It came after she was reprimanded for her involvement with the press while inside. A typical day for Maxwell starts before sunlight. Before heading to her job in the prison's law library where she works Monday to Thursday, she is served her breakfast between 5.30 and 6.30am. She and inmates from her "B South unit" dormitory are called to the prison canteen to pick up their food served on a throwaway styrofoam tray. Typically, it will consist of a muffin, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, and milk. By 7.30am, she has to have her bed made and be "inspection ready" dressed in her work uniform - a button-up shirt and matching khaki trousers. Outside such hours and on the weekend, Maxwell is allowed to wear her own clothes, known as "grades". The 60-year-old is known among inmates to be a fitness fanatic Once two officers complete a head count of the dorm, it is off to work for the disgraced socialite before returning to her dormitory. Maxwell has her lunch served between 11am and 11.30am and dinner between 4.30pm and 5pm. On the weekend, she is served roast beef, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables for her evening meal. Once finished, she returns to her dorm, where she chats for hours with her new pal, Narcy Novack. As the Mirror revealed, the 65-year-old is serving life after masterminding the brutal death of her millionaire hotel-heir husband, Ben Novack Jr and his mother. The former stripper had them assassinated as she feared her husband, 52, was set to leave her for a porn star and needed both him and his mother, Bernice, 87, dead to inherit his fortune. Maxwell has launched an appeal against her sentence, but if unsuccessful, plans are already afoot to have an application lodged to serve her time in Britain. "Calculations have been carried out as to where Ghislaine would serve the least time behind bars," a source told the Mirror. "She is happy to be freed on licence just to get out of prison, and her best option for getting out quicker is back in the UK." With good behaviour, Maxwell could see almost three years taken off her sentence in the US. But after three years in the States, she is entitled to apply to serve the remainder of her sentence in the UK. If successful, it would mean if Maxwell were to transfer to a British prison, she would have only 91 months - seven years and seven months left - before she is eligible to be released on licence. She would be 70 by the time she would be freed, not 75 as her US prison record shows. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The disgraced financier took his own life in a prison cell while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Both lawsuits were filed in New York on Thursday as class action cases. They were brought by lawyers who have represented dozens of the deceased billionaire's accusers. The women, who are also seeking financial damages, are not named in the filings, which were first reported by the Wall Street Journal newspaper and have been seen by the BBC. According to claims in the lawsuit filed against JP Morgan Chase, one woman, described as a former ballet dancer, was abused by Epstein and his associates between 2006 and 2013. It alleges that JP Morgan knew that its accounts were being used for trafficking because of the identity of the individuals withdrawing large sums of cash, as well as "Epstein's well-documented criminal history". JP Morgan Chase declined to comment when contacted by BBC News. In a separate lawsuit against Deutsche Bank, another woman claims she was trafficked for sex by Epstein for 15 years, starting in 2003 when she first moved to New York. It claims that in some instances Epstein would pay the woman directly in cash for sex acts. The lawsuit suggests that the wealthy Epstein turned to Deutsche Bank when ties were severed with JP Morgan around 2013. It also refers to previous findings by New York banking regulators about Deutsche Bank's business with Epstein. They concluded that "although the bank properly classified Epstein as high-risk, [it] failed to scrutinise the activity in the accounts for the kinds of activity that were obviously implicated by Epstein's past". Deutsche Bank previously admitted that it made a "critical mistake" when taking on Epstein as a client. But a spokesman for the investment bank said on Thursday: "We believe this claim lacks merit and will present our arguments in court." One of the lawyers, Bradley Edwards, said in a written statement: "Epstein and his co-conspirators could not have victimised without assistance from wealthy individuals and financial institutions. We will not stop fighting for the survivors until everyone is held responsible. This is a big step but not the end. He added: "The time has come for the real enablers to be held responsible, especially his wealthy friends and the financial institutions that played an integral role."

Scott Borgerson and Ghislaine Maxwell Scott Borgerson takes a morning walk with his daughter and girlfriend Kris McGinn As Ghislaine Maxwell spends her third miserable Christmas in jail, this image of her husband with his new girlfriend will be a bitter reminder of the life she once had. As he rebuilds his life without his sex trafficker wife, Scott Borgerson, 47, is dating Kris McGinn, a 50-year-old journalist from Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, where he still lives in the £5.8million seafront mansion he once shared with Maxwell. Mr Borgerson wed British socialite Maxwell in 2016, but ended the relationship with a phone call while she was in a New York jail awaiting trial. And this week he showed just how much he has moved on as he and Ms McGinn went Christmas shopping on a wintery day in Massachusetts. *Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal in is jeopardy as her estranged husband refused to pay her legal bill* In June, Maxwell was jailed for 20 years for trafficking girls for paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She will spend her 61st birthday on Christmas Day on her bunk in a dormitory at Florida’s Tallahassee prison, while Mr Borgerson will most likely be with Ms McGinn. The yoga-loving mum of two rents a modest home in Manchester-by-the-Sea, where she is a journalist at the 134-year-old local newspaper, The Manchester Cricket, covering food and culture for the area’s posh residents. She worked under the byline Kris McGinn Straub until June 2020, when she dropped her married name. It is unclear how she met Mr Borgerson, who has two children by his first wife Rebecca, although locals suggest it was over their shared love of dogs. One said: “Those two are like chalk and cheese in terms of their visibility in the town. Whereas we see Kris daily pottering around, Scott is like a ghost. “He is seldom seen and only ventures out on rare occasions.” “What is good though is that Rebecca has been fantastic. She is accepting of Kris and has seen her several times. It must be a relief that the new woman in his life is so wholesome given Maxwell’s convictions.” Ghislaine Maxwell briefly lived at the Phippen-Smith home with Scott Borgerson Ms McGinn is a frequent visitor to Mr Borgerson’s seven-bedroom colonial style home and is seen driving around town in a £48,000 Chevrolet Tahoe she acquired soon after they began dating. The SUV is registered in neighbouring New Hampshire, where Mr Borgerson and Maxwell owned a home in Bradford. It was there that Maxwell was finally arrested by the FBI in July 2020, charged with recruiting and trafficking underage girls for her one-time lover Epstein to sexually abuse. The billionaire Wall Street financier and convicted sex offender killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 as he awaited his own sex trafficking trial. Mr Borgerson met Maxwell nine years ago, around the time they were both pictured speaking at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2013. He was still married to Rebecca, 47, a devout Christian. She discovered her husband was having an affair when he told her he was going to give a speech in London, but she found he was actually in Miami with Maxwell. Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison Their divorce was finalised in December 2015, leaving him free to wed Maxwell the following year as she sold her New York townhouse for £13.2million. The marriage was so secret even Maxwell’s own family did not know about it. An insider said: “Despite Ghislaine being 14 years older, Scott thought he’d found his soulmate. “What has transpired though, has been a nightmare that has turned Scott’s life completely upside down. “But as he continues to fight the legacy left by Ghislaine, Kris has helped put a smile back on his face.” Court documents show that Maxwell transferred £15million to a trust controlled by Mr Borgerson. This is the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee - where Maxwell is in prison Last month, it was reported that Maxwell’s appeal against her 20-year jail sentence lay in doubt as Mr Borgerson was in a dispute with her lawyers. Her defence team claimed they were owed for a £700,000 bill and needed £820,000 to lodge an appeal. Haddon, Morgan and Foreman had filed a lawsuit against Maxwell, her brother Kevin and Mr Borgerson in August, trying to recoup the unpaid legal fees. Mr Borgerson was later dismissed from the suit. Until the money is transferred, Maxwell’s lawyers are unlikely to meet a January deadline for the appeal, leaving Maxwell to face the prospect that she might die in jail. Mr Borgerson purchased the Manchester-by-the-Sea home using money from Maxwell, according to the complaint from her law firm. Earlier this month, it emerged that under an agreement “accidentally” included in the filings of Maxwell’s legal team, Mr Borgerson would have to use money from the sale of the Manchester-by-the-Sea house to help cover her legal fees if the cash could not be collected from Maxwell or her brother, Kevin. We can reveal a second home Mr Borgerson owned in a trendy Boston neighbourhood sold in May for £1.8million. On Thursday night, Mr Borgerson was unavailable for comment. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

If the disgraced British socialite passes she will earn 99p an hour selling cut-price internet, TV and phone bundles for a telecommunications giant. Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. The company outsources some of its call centre work to Florida’s FCI Tallahassee female prison, where she is held. She will be paid three times more than her current role in the jail law library but she will need a lot of hours to pay off the £644,000 fine imposed by her trial judge. A prison insider said: “Many of the girls work in the call centre. Customers would never know they are talking to a drug dealer, armed robber, killer or in Ghislaine’s case, a sex trafficker. “The girls have been joking if she does move jobs, callers will think they’ve called Buckingham Palace with her posh accent. “Being on the phones allows the girls contact with the outside world. Some find it a lifeline.” Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 of sex-trafficking minors, conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity for her former boyfriend, financier Jeffrey Epstein. Convicted teen sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell seen outside for the first time in almost a decade as she is held for 20 years inside FCI Tallahassee Florida on Tallahassee, October 24 2022* She was also found guilty of transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and conspiracy to sex-traffic minors. She was sentenced last June and moved to Tallahassee. Her new prospective role is a far cry from the career she once knew. Her dad, crooked tycoon Robert Maxwell, made her a director at Oxford United, the football club he owned. He also set her up with a company supplying corporate gifts. She founded a private members’ club for women and was a director at Jemma Kidd’s make-up company, had her own consulting business and a charity called Terramar. During her trial, it emerged that from 1994 to 2007, Maxwell received almost £26million from Epstein, who later committed suicide in prison. It was also found she had transferred big sums to husband Scott Borgerson, 44, from whom she is now estranged.

The 61-year-old convicted sex offender and former socialite is currently serving a 20 year sentence at a Florida jail for luring young girls to massage rooms for the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein between 1994 and 2004. Prince Andrew has long been connected to both Maxwell and the late Epstein - who was found dead in a prison cell in August 2019 aged 66. Ms Giuffre brought a civil case alleging Prince Andrew had forced her to have sex with him on three occasions - at Ghislaine Maxwell's London home, at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and in the Virgin Islands - in 2001 when she was 17 years old. Prince Andrew denies the allegations and later agreed to an out of court settlement with his accuser. The settlement is not an admission of guilt and the Duke of York continues to deny any wrongdoing. The Duke of York was famously photographed with his hand around the waist of then-teenager Virginia Guiffre at Maxwell's London home. Despite Maxwell being clearly visible in the photo as she stood grinning in the background, the disgraced former socialite has told Jeremy Kyle in his TalkTV show that she believes the image is fake. Controversial talk show host Kyle, 57, has interviewed Maxwell for a special episode of his series, due to air on Monday night and billed as ‘Ghislaine Behind Bars’. Viewers will see Maxwell argue: “I have no memory of them meeting. And I don’t think that picture is real. “There is no original of that photo, (just) copies of copies and parts of it, according to some experts, look like it has been photoshopped. I don’t remember her in my home.” She adds: “I know that Virginia travelled with Jeffrey, and so it’s entirely possible. “It wasn’t something so outrageously out of left field that it couldn’t have happened. “But the photo doesn’t appear to be real. And I don’t recall it being taken. I have no memory of Virginia and Prince Andrew meeting.” The upcoming interview looks set to draw the crimes of Epstein and the accusations against Prince Andrew back into the spotlight. Explaining his reasoning for interviewing Maxwell from FCI Tallahassee prison in Florida, Kyle said: “Ghislaine Maxwell will be speaking for the first time from inside prison. She’s the most notorious female inmate on the planet. “But since being jailed for sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell has kept her silence, until now.” He added: “She lifts the lid on Epstein, Prince Andrew and even our late Queen. This is Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars and in her own words.” The announcement about the special episode - which is scheduled to air on TalkTV on Monday night - has divided TV fans. Many have taken to social media to slam the planned episode, with one asking: “Why are you giving her airtime?” Virginia Giuffre, and Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew The famous photo was captured when the Duke of York was in his 40s and Virginia Guiffre was just a teen Jeremy Kyle Live is due to air on Monday night at 7pm on TalkTV. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The Brit said Giuffre's memory is "faulty" and "should be questioned,” adding “the way it has been described would have been impossible”. Maxwell told TalkTV she “hadn’t any memory of going to Tramp,” the London nightclub Giuffre famously claims she went to with the duke in 2001 before she claims they had sex. She added she wouldn’t have gone “certainly not in the outfit I would have worn”. Maxwell then said: "Her (Giuffre) stories have changed so many times about what happens, when it happens, how it happens with different versions and each time she speaks it's a different version. “In fact, if you look at her BBC interview on Panorama, I believe she says he (Andrew) puked on her face. That’s the only time she has ever said that.” Maxwell continued her blistering attack moving on to Giuffre’s credibility. She added: “I read her deposition, and in her deposition, her statements are very categorical, and her stories are very detailed and elaborate, but if her memory is so poor, how can you rely on anything she says? Ghislaine Maxwell claims she has 'no memory' of meeting Prince Andrew accuser “I don’t know on which is that her memory is so bad that you can’t really credit anything she says or it's more disingenuous than that. I can’t tell you which it is only she knows definitively the answer to that. “I think once you retract on two men you make claims against on the grounds that your memory is faulty. Like I said, I think you have to question everything she says.” Ms Giuffre, 38, recently withdrew a sex abuse allegation against US lawyer Alan Dershowtiz and admitted she “may have made a mistake”. Maxwell blasted Giuffre in the TALKTV interview In November, Giuffre was forced into a humiliating climbdown after she sued Epstein’s famed US lawyer, professor Alan Dershowitz, for defamation. The lawsuit came after the attorney, like Andrew had, vehemently denied her allegations. For years, Giuffre had publicly maintained that he had sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager and that he had sex with her when she was underage. Maxwell said Prince Andrew is paying a 'high price' for being associated with her In a joint statement announcing a settlement, Giuffre said, “I have long believed that I was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Alan Dershowitz. "However, I was very young at the time, it was a very stressful and traumatic environment, and Mr Dershowitz has, from the beginning, consistently denied these allegations. “I now recognise I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr Dershowitz,” her statement said. Meanwhile, Maxwell has claimed Epstein devastated her life and hurt many people she loves. Speaking from her prison cell in America, the convicted sex trafficker, 61, refused to describe herself as a victim but declared she wishes she had never met her ex-boyfriend. She also told Jeremy Kyle how she believes Epstein was murdered in prison. The sex offender was found in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled that his death was a suicide by hanging. Maxwell was arrested in 2020 on five charges that she conspired with Epstein to sexually abuse minors. In 2020, Maxwell was found guilty of five out of the six charges in her trial, including sex trafficking a minor. In June 2022, she was sentenced in a New York court to 20 years imprisonment. When quizzed by Kyle about if she considers herself a victim of Epstein too, she said: "Well, I don't actually love the use of the word 'victim’ per se because I think it's used a lot and bandied about a lot. "But clearly my association by the fact that I worked for him and spent time with him and knew him has devastated my life and hurt many people that I love and hold dear around me." Maxwell says Epstein devastated her life Kyle continued to ask the former socialite if she thinks her friends would accept her if she won her appeal. "Well, I can't know what my friends will do and won't do. My focus won't be on that," Maxwell told the TV presenter from prison. "I will always turn to what I have now decided that will form the rest of my life, which is helping other people who have been or are incarcerated." Elsewhere during her interview with Kyle - which TalkTV say she was not paid for - Maxwell refused to apologise to Epstein's victims and women who feel betrayed by her. When given the opportunity by Kyle to apologise, she said: "I say Epstein has died and they should take their disappointment and upset out on the authorities that allowed that to happen. "And, as I said, I hope that they have some closure via the judicial process that took place. "And I wish them, er.....time is ticking on and to be able to have a productive and good life going forward. And that's what I hope for them." Maxwell's comments come as it's reported Prince Andrew has amassed a £10million 'war chest' to launch a legal case against Virginia Giuffre. Ms Giuffre brought a civil case alleging Andrew had sex with her on three occasions in 2001 when she was 17 years old. Andrew has always denied all allegations and settled a US civil sex abuse case with Ms Giuffre outside of court for a reported £12million. The settlement is not an admission of guilt by Andrew, who continues to deny any wrongdoing. But now it has been reported that he is seeking to clear his name after previously being “pressured” into settling the case to avoid overshadowing the Platinum Jubilee. Elsewhere during her TalkTV interview on Monday night, Maxwell shared her belief Epstein did not take his own life in 2019, but was instead murdered. "I believe that he was murdered," Maxwell told Kyle during their pre-recorded interview which aired on Monday night. "I was shocked. Then I wondered how it had happened? Because as far as I was concerned, he was going to, I was sure he was going to appeal. And I was sure he was covered under the non-prosecution agreement. "But I wasn't in the indictment. I wasn’t mentioned. I wasn't even one of the co-conspirators." Epstein was found unresponsive in his Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York, jail cell on August 10 2019. He was later pronounced dead at the New York Downtown Hospital. The New York City medical examiner ruled that Epstein's death was a suicide by hanging.

Epstein, who had been convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor, had socialised with Prince Andrew, former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton BBC 22 MAR 2023 Two women who say the financier sexually abused them brought the case against JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank. Judge Jed Rakoff also gave the go-ahead to a case against JP Morgan from the US Virgin Islands. The banks deny being aware of Epstein's abuses. In a four-page order Judge Rakoff wrote that the women and Virgin Islands government could try to make the case the banks had "knowingly benefited from participating in a sex trafficking venture". He also allowed the women to pursue claims the banks were negligent and obstructed enforcement of a federal anti-trafficking law. He dismissed some of the other claims. The decision means the banks could be financially liable for their relationships with the American financier if the claims are proven in court. Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking, was a client of JPMorgan from 2000 to 2013, and of Deutsche Bank from 2013 to 2018. ---Jeffrey Epstein victims sue several major banks JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, which had both sought to have the lawsuits dismissed, declined to comment on the recent ruling to Reuters. The move comes after JP Morgan filed a lawsuit against Jess Staley, who handled Epstein's business as a senior executive at the bank, accusing him of failing to disclose potentially damaging information about his client. Mr Staley went on to serve as chief executive of Barclays after leaving JP Morgan. He stepped down in 2021 after an investigation into his ties to Epstein. At the time he said he would contest the findings. Prosecutors in 2019 accused him of running a "vast network" of underage girls for sex. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The Royal Lodge in Windsor, the £30 million home at the heart of the brother's fallout In the run-up to Charles’ coronation on May 6, Charles has found himself with yet another headache resulting from a member of his family. He has ended up with his younger brother allegedly kicking up a fuss. This royal row is centred over the £30 million Royal Lodge home in Windsor. As a part of Charles’ efforts to slimline the monarchy and reduce costs, he has rejigged some of the living conditions for some senior royals. He has kicked Harry and Meghan out of Frogmore Cottage, and tried to move the disgraced Prince Andrew into it. But Andrew has reportedly refused to bow to efforts to move him out of his current residence - the Royal Lodge. This has led to a souring of relations between the brothers, reports claim, and is despite the fact that Charles has handed him the keys to Frogmore in an effort to get him to move. Page Six first reported on the 63-year-old’s obstinance, as he refuses to leave the home he has lived in since 2003. A royal source told the outlet that Andrew was clinging onto the lodge in an effort to remain being seen as a senior royal. They said: “Andrew doesn’t want to leave because the property is seen as a symbol of senior royalty — an important property in the family’s portfolio. Andrew hasn't played a role in the royal family since he paid a reported £12million to Virginia Giuffre to dodge going to court over sex abuse claims - something he denies. He increasingly came under fire for his defence of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including when Andrew claimed that his only fault in the issue was that he was 'too honourable'. Prince William, the future king, Kate Middleton and their family only moved to Adelaide Cottage, not far from Andrew, a year ago. But the four-bed home is already feeling small for the royals, reports claim, affected by William needing more office space with his growing role. But all the wrangling over spacious homes, as the country struggles through a cost of living crisis, has said to have “infuriated” the king in the run up to his coronation. “Relations between the king and his brother have never been this bad. It has turned into a real battle which he never expected and it’s left him tired and infuriated.” A source told the outlet. This all comes in the runup to Charles’ coronation, which still faces a number of issues as organisers face a “race against time” to finalise details of the King and Queen’s historic crowning at Westminster Abbey. A catalogue of major issues have emerged at the heart of planning for the May 6 event, with insiders revealing that rehearsals ran over by an hour, wrecking Charles’s plans for a "slimmed down" service. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, used his private island in the archipelago to host powerful guests and traffic young girls to for decades. Locals had nicknamed Little Saint James as “Paedophile Island”. The 71-acre secluded island is about a mile from St Thomas and has several luxury dwellings, three beaches, a gas station and a helipad. Epstein purchased the island for $7.95m in 1998. Nearby Great Saint James is more than twice the size and is undeveloped. Epstein purchased the island for $18m in 2016. Mr Deckoff, a longtime US Virgin Islands resident, said he planned to open a luxury 25-room resort on one of the islands in 2025 that would boost tourism and economic development. “I’ve been proud to call the U.S. Virgin Islands home for more than a decade and am tremendously pleased to be able to bring the area a world-class destination befitting its natural grace and beauty,” Mr Deckoff said. Jeffery Epstein’s estate on Little Saint James Island in the US Virgin Epstein’s estate was valued at $600m at the time of his death, due to his vast property holdings in New York, New Mexico and Florida. In November, when he reached a settlement with the US Virgin Islands government, his estate’s assets had fallen to $159m, the attorney’s general’s office said. The estate has paid out more than $160m to his sex trafficking victims since his death, The New York Times reported. The sale brings to an end the late paedophile’s decades-long association with the US Virgin Islands. Prosecutors on the Caribbean island said in a 2020 court filing that Epstein had trafficked and sexually abused girls as young as 11 at the properties. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..

The case was filed by an unnamed woman who alleged that the banking giant continued to do business with Epstein, despite knowing that his accounts were used to facilitate the abuses. BBC 19 MAY 2023 She also claimed that she was abused by Epstein and trafficked to his friends. Deutsche Bank declined to comment on the case when approached by the BBC. The woman, who is listed anonymously as "Jane Doe" in court papers, filed the class-action lawsuit in New York last November on behalf of herself and other women who had allegedly been abused by the late American financier. *She said Deutsche Bank "chose profit over following the law" as it knew it would "earn millions of dollars from facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking"* The woman also alleged that she was sexually abused by Epstein and trafficked to his friends for around 15 years, while receiving cash payments for her sexual acts. The settlement is expected to be used to pay compensation to dozens of women. Edwards Pottinger, one of the law firms representing the unnamed woman, told the BBC that the outcome was "likely the largest sex-trafficking settlement involving a banking institution in US history." "The settlement will allow dozens of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein to finally attempt to restore their faith in our system knowing that all individuals and entities who facilitated Epstein's sex-trafficking operation will finally be held accountable," the firm added. Deutsche Bank previously sought to have the lawsuit dismissed. Dylan Riddle, a spokesman for the bank, declined to comment on the settlement on Thursday, but said it had "made considerable progress in remedying a number of past issues". Mr Riddle added that the bank had invested more than €4bn ($4.3bn; £3.5bn) to improve its controls, training and operational processes, and grown its team dedicated to fighting financial crime. Epstein died in a New York prison cell on 10 August 2019 as he awaited, without the chance of bail, his trial on sex trafficking charges. It came more than a decade after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender.

US tycoon Mr Gates was married and about 55 when he met the Russian bridge player, Mila Antonova, in around 2010 when she was in her 20s. Wall Street financier Epstein met her three years later before funding her studies at a software coding school. Convicted sex offender Epstein emailed Mr Gates in 2017 and asked to be reimbursed for the cost of the course, according to the Wall Street Journal. It followed Epstein failing to convince Mr Gates to participate in a charitable fund. People who have seen the message say the implication behind it was Epstein could reveal the alleged affair if Mr Gates did not keep up an association between the two men. Paedo billionaire Jeffrey Epstein 'threatened Bill Gates over affair with Russian woman' ...Gates & Ms Antonova in about 2010 A spokeswoman for Mr Gates said: “He met Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes. Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr Gates.” Ms Antonova, who declined to comment on Mr Gates, 67, said of Epstein: “I had no idea [at the time] that he was a criminal or had any ulterior motive. I just thought he was a successful businessman and wanted to help.” She told the Wall Street Journal: “I am disgusted with Epstein and what he did.” During his friendship with Epstein, Andrew stayed at three of the US sex offender’s properties. At Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2011, from left: James E. Staley, at the time a senior JPMorgan executive; former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers; Mr. Epstein; Bill Gates, Microsoft’s co-founder; and Boris Nikolic, who was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s science adviser. The FBI later seized hundreds of hours of surveillance footage filmed in Epstein’s homes. One of his victims talked about secret cameras at Epstein’s New York mansion where Andrew stayed. Epstein was found dead in his cell at a jail in the city in 2019 aged 66 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide. A source told the Mirror: “Epstein kept a treasure trove of information in his safes on his famous friends [as an]... insurance policy. “It wasn’t just royalty he had over to his place but world leaders and celebs. “They’ve been left not knowing what his cameras caught. No one was off limits.” The source added the revelations about the apparent threat to Mr Gates “will send panic” among Epstein’s pals. __________________ PUTIN TRUMP & Netanyahu Will Meet in HELL ..................*SHARKS are Closing in on TRUMP*.......................... *TRUMP WARNS; 'There'll Be a Bloodbath* If I Don't Get Elected'..MAGA - MyAssGotArrested...IT's COMING** PLEASE HELP THIS SITE..Click DONATE & Thanks to ALL Members of ... 1..
