Epstein kept 'sex tapes' of famous people, witness alleged
The Guardian
|January 09, 2024
Jeffrey Epstein's defence team sought to undermine the reliability of one of the witnesses against him by revealing she had claimed the billionaire had kept "sex tapes" involving prominent people, a new batch of unsealed documents has disclosed.
Those who were filmed were alleged to have included Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Sir Richard Branson, according to the allegations made by Sarah Ransome.
Her claims were flagged by a firm representing Epstein's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, to demonstrate Ransome "manifestly lacks credibility".
The court was not given any proof of the existence of any tapes and the allegations were retracted by Ransome soon after they were made.
Ransome gave a victim impact statement before the sentencing of the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking. The court was provided with emails in which she claimed the three were filmed by the sex offender. She also makes serious accusations against the former US president Donald Trump.
Andrew stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with Epstein, and paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, a woman he claimed never to have met.
