Jeffrey Epstein 's bombshell court documents accuse Prince Andrew of allegedly having an "orgy on a private island" - as the girl was told to "give him whatever he wants."
According to a 2014 court filing which was released today, one of Epstein's alleged victims, only known as Jane Doe 3 and not identified in the files, was told to have sex with the Duke of York during an orgy on Epstein's island, Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands.
The newly unsealed document contains statements where she claims she was 'forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she was a minor in three separate geographical locations."

Jane Doe 3, who is not named in the document, also claims Ghislaine Maxwell "facilitated Prince Andrew's acts of sexual abuse by acting as a 'madame' for Epstein'.'

Virginia Giuffre has claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew three times as a 17-year-old, which is the below the age of consent of 18 in the US Virgin Islands. The age of consent in Florida is 18 and 17 in New York.
The documents being unsealed are part of a 2015 lawsuit filed against Maxwell by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre. She is one of the dozens of women who sued Epstein saying he had abused them at his homes in Florida, New York, the U.S. Virgin Islands and New Mexico.
Giuffre said the summer she turned 17, she was lured away from a job as a spa attendant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club to become a “masseuse” for Epstein — a job that involved performing sexual acts.

Maxwell, who is in jail, and Epstein (SCU)Giuffre also claimed she was pressured into having sex with men in Epstein’s social orbit, including Britain’s Prince Andrew, the former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell and the billionaire Glenn Dubin, among others. All of those men said her accounts were fabricated.
Giuffre settled a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in 2022. That same year, Giuffre withdrew an accusation she had made against Epstein’s former attorney, the law professor Alan Dershowitz, saying she “ may have made a mistake ” in identifying him as an abuser.

About 2,000 pages were unsealed by a court in 2019. Additional documents were released in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The batch currently being released contains around 250 records that sections that were blacked out or were sealed entirely because of concerns about the privacy rights of Epstein’s victims and other people whose names had come up during the legal battle but weren’t complicit in his crimes.
Only around 40 of those documents were made public Wednesday. More will be released in the coming days.
