Court documents show that former financier Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in prison while awaiting trial for sex trafficking and pedophilia, allegedly made sex tapes with Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Sir Richard Branson, SkyNews reports, citing News.ro .

Sarah Ransom, who says she was a victim of Epstein, said in 2016 that the Duke of York, former US president and billionaire Branson had been videotaped by an American pedophile financier.

The claims are included in hundreds of documents that were declassified by a US judge last week.

The documents are part of a defamation lawsuit filed in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, who is currently in prison after being convicted in 2022 of sex trafficking. The defamation lawsuit was settled in 2017.

In a 2016 filing, Sarah Ransom wrote: “When my friend had sex with the Clintons, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, Jeffrey recorded it every time. Thank God, she managed to get access to some parts of the tapes, which clearly show the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson, who had sex with her. Unfortunately, Epstein is not seen in any of the recordings, but he was so smart! When my friend finally got the courage to speak up and went to the police in 2008 to report what happened, nothing was done and she was completely humiliated by the police department she went to to report what happened to Epstein, Clinton, Branson and Prince Andriy,” Ransom wrote.

The name of Donald Trump also appears

In some excerpts from the email correspondence, she also stated that former US President Donald Trump had sexual relations with “many girls”.

“I also know that she (Sara Ransom’s girlfriend) frequently had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffrey’s Mansion in New York,” Epstein’s alleged victim wrote.

Duke Andrew, brother of the current King Charles III, has retired from public life and no longer uses the title of Royal Highness following the controversy surrounding his friendship with Epstein.

The prince paid millions of pounds to settle a civil lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was 17. He claimed he had never met Virginia Giuffre.

On the other hand, lawyer Ghislaine Maxwell argued that Prince Andrew could not have had sex with Virginia Giuffre in the bathtub, as she claimed, because the bathtub in that apartment was actually too small for a man of his size.

Sir Richard Branson has hit back at Sarah Ransom’s claims that he was secretly filmed by Epstein, saying they are “baseless and unsubstantiated”. A spokeswoman for Virgin Group, Branson’s company, recalled that in a New Yorker article published in 2019, Sarah Ransom admitted that what she claimed about the recordings was a fabrication.

Clinton, Branson and Trump say they knew nothing about Epstein’s crimes.
