Victim claims she was paid £12,000 by Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew
Prince Andrew sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre said she was paid almost £12,000 by his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with the royal, court documents have shown.
In the latest batch of legal papers released in New York that form part of a long-settled defamation case, she is quizzed about the time she claims to have spent with the Duke of York in the early noughties.
While giving a videoed legal deposition in January 2016, Ms Giuffre is asked by lawyers for famed US attorney Alan Dershowitz to recall her alleged sex that she claims took place between her and the prince.
She was asked: “Were you paid 10 to $15,000 by or on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein for having sex with Prince Andrew?”

She was then asked if she paid taxes on the money to which she responded “No."
It is unclear on which of the three occasions - in London, New York or on Epstein’s Caribbean Island - she claims to have had sex with Andrew she was referring to.
Ms Giuffre, who previously described herself as Epstein’s “teen sex slave," was also quizzed about the time she allegedly spent with the duke, 63, while in London.

She was asked: “How long were you at the bar with Prince Andrew or at Club Tramp I should say?
A. “I would say over an hour but not two”.
Q “Did you have more than one drink?
A. “I believe I had two drinks. I'm not too sure if - I assumed that Andrew was drinking alcohol as well, but I'm not too sure if it was. He ordered the drinks, and he ordered alcohol for me. So I only assumed that he was drinking it as well, but yes.

Ms Giuffre has previously claimed she was flown to London in March 2001 to have sex with Andrew which took place at Ghislaine Maxwell’s mews home.
A picture taken of Ms Giuffre with Andrew with his hand around her bare waist and Maxwell looking on has famously placed them together on the night she claims to have slept with the duke in the house’s bathroom.
Prince Andrew has vehemently denied all the claims she has made against him going as far to deny recalling ever meeting his accuser.
