All rights reserved ANDREW AND THE UNDER-AGE 'SEX SLAVE' PRINCE Andrew abused an underage girl at an orgy where she was being used as a sex slave, it was sensationally claimed last night.In an extraordinary legal allegation, a woman said she was 'forced' to have sex with him at parties in London, New York and the Caribbean.Last night the prince issued a strongly-worded denial, with Buckingham Palace saying 'any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue'. But his alleged victim immediately hit back by saying she would not be 'bullied into silence by aggressive attacks'.The woman - named only as Jane Doe #3 but said to be 30- year-old - says in court documents she was told to 'give the prince whatever he demanded' by his friend Jeffrey Epstein, the US billionaire paedophile who hosted the sordid parties She claimed she and other underage girls were 'procured for sexual activities' by Ghislaine Maxwell, the socialite daughter of crooked tycoon Robert Maxwell. Miss Maxwell is alleged to have facilitated the prince's 'abuse' of the girl, after helping Epstein to convert her 'into what is commonly referred to as a sex slave'. Miss Maxwell is described as a madam and 'a primary co-conspirator in [Epstein's] sexual abuse and sex trafficking scheme'. Legal documents lodged with a court in Florida name Andrew, 54, as one of three men allegedly involved in abusing the woman when she was 17 - which is underage according to Florida state law. The bombshell papers state: 'One such powerful individual Epstein forced [her] to have sexual relations with was a member of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew, aka Duke of York.' The claim names three locations, saying one involved an orgy with numerous underaged girls. It alleges: 'Epstein instructed Jane Doe #3 that she was to give the prince whatever he demanded and required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse.' Epstein, a long-term friend of Prince Andrew, was one of the best-connected men in America until he was jailed for 13 months in 2008 for soliciting girls for underage prostitution. The prince stayed friends with him despite his conviction and they were seen together in 2011 after Epstein's release from jail. Last night a Buckingham Palace spokesman said: 'This relates to long- standing and ongoing civil proceedings in the United States, to which the Duke of York is not a party. As such we would not comment on the detail. 'However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.' Until now Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on stories around the case, but last night EFTA01401219 lawyers for the prince advised his private office to release a statement, given the high-profile nature of the latest legal salvo, which made headlines around the world. His accuser countered with a statement issued through her lawyers that said: 'I am looking forward to vindicating my rights as an innocent victim and pursuing all available recourse. It appears that I am now being unjustly victimised again. 'These types of aggressive attacks on me are exactly the reason why sexual abuse victims typically remain silent and the reason why I did for a long time. That trend should change. I'm not going to be bullied back into silence.' Although she was not named in court documents, she was being linked in America to Miss Roberts, who as a teenager was photographed standing next to Andrew. Jane Doe #3 has made similar allegations against Harvard Law School expert Alan Dershowitz and a French model scout. Professor Dershowitz strenuously denies the claims, telling the Politico website: 'It's totally, unequivocally and completely false'. Epstein was suspected nearly a decade ago of paying for sex with dozens of underage girls. The FBI ultimately dropped its investigation and, in a 'plea bargain', he admitted a single offence and served 13 months of an 18-month jail sentence. The documents, filed at West Palm Beach Federal Courthouse in Florida, are part of an ongoing civil dispute between Epstein and four of his alleged victims. The latest issue refers to his plea-bargain which two unnamed victims, Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, say prosecutors should not have agreed. Jane Doe #3 and Jane Doe #4 have joined their legal action. Last night there was no response to requests for comment from Miss Maxwell. Epstein's lawyer, Jack Goldberger, said the allegations were 'old and salacious and 'been consistently proven to have no merit'. 0 Daily Mail Copyright 0 2015 Regulatory DataCorp, Inc.

Dressed in a long grey coat and sunglasses, the 53-year-old looked sombre as she left her home in New York City and made her way to a nearby office building. She stands accused of procuring young girls for the sexual gratification of billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his 'friends'. Scroll down for video Court documents filed by Jane Doe 3 - now known to be - say that Ms Maxwell 'facilitated Prince Andrew's acts of sexua abuse by acting as a madame for Epstein'. Ms Maxwell was described in the court papers, filed in a Florida court last week, as a 'primary co-conspirator in Epstein's sexual abuse and sex trafficking scheme'. A spokesperson for Ms Maxwell has reportedly strongly denied the allegations, and she has previously made clear that Epstein's crimes were committed long before she had dealings with him. The Duke was meanwhile holed up at his Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor today from where he is believed to have spoken to the Queen by phone to tell her he is innocent of claims levelled against him in a US court. The extraordinary allegation made by Miss Roberts is part of a US civil case against Epstein. She claims Prince Andrew had sex with her when she was 17 — a minor under US law — and employed as a 'sex slave' by Epstein. The fifth in line to the throne slept with Miss Roberts at an orgy with other under-age girls on Epstein's private Caribbean island, as well as in a private house in London and in Epstein's New York mansion, according to the court papers. In a strongly-worded statement, a Buckingham Palace spokesman has said: 'It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had an form of sexual contact or relationship with . The allegations made are false and without any foundati . Miss Roberts claims she was 15 when she met Ms Maxwell at a Florida spa in 1998. Ms Maxwell allegedly invited her to Epstein's EFTA01401222 mansion to be a masseuse. Miss Roberts claims she was made to perform sex acts on Epstein. She also claimed that the first time she met Prince Andrew was at Ms Maxwell's home in London, where she was flown at the request of Epstein One picture, said to have been taken by Epstein during Andrew's first encounter with the girl in March 2001 shows the Prince with his arm around her waist as Ms Maxwell looks on. Describing what happened, Miss Roberts said Epstein invited her to accompany him on a six-week trip in 2001. They flew to Paris, then Spain, then Tangier and finally, they went to London. 'After we landed, we drove straight to Ghislaine's Maxwell's house' and 'was given a small upstairs bedroom,' Virginia said. She said: 'The following morning, Ghislaine came in. She was chirpy and jumped on the bed saying, 'Get up, sleepyhead. You've got a big day. We've got to go shopping. You need a dress as you're going to dance with a Prince tonight.' 'She said I needed to be 'smiley' and bubbly because he was the Queen's son. 'Ghislaine and I went to Burberry, where she bought me a £5,000 bag, and to a few other designer stores where we bought a couple of dresses, a pair of embroidered jeans and a pink singlet, perfume and make- up,' she said.

'When I went downstairs, Ghislaine and Jeffrey were in the lounge. There was a knock at the door. Ghislaine led Andrew in and we kissed each other on the cheek. 'Ghislaine served tea from a porcelain pot and biscuits. She knew Sarah Ferguson and they talked fondly about Andrew's daughters. 'Then Ghislaine asked Andrew how old he thought I was and he guessed 17'. The four of them went out to dinner and on to Tramp nightclub where, she says, Andrew danced with her. 'After about an hour-and-a-half, we drove back to Ghislaine's. All of us went upstairs and I asked Jeffrey to snap a picture of me with the Prince. I wanted something to show my Mom. Ghislaine and Jeffrey left us after that, and later Andrew left'. Ms Maxwell, the cherished daughter of crooked tycoon Robert Maxwell, is no stranger to scandal. Her world came crashing down in 1991 when her father plunged to his death from the deck of his £15million yacht, named Lady Ghislaine in her honour. Shortly afterwards it was revealed that the notorious newspaper tycoon had stolen £440million from the Mirror Group's pension fund. Ms Maxwell and her family were disgraced, and she fled to New York to escape the furore in Britain. It was in America that she met Epstein, becoming his girlfriend for a time and attending celebrity events with him. He provided her with a champagne lifestyle of luxurious holidays and palatial apartments that she could never have afforded on the £80,000-a-year her father left her. In return, she used her contacts to introduce Epstein to leading lights of the world of showbusiness, politics and royalty, including Prince Andrew. But in recent years she has also faced accusations that she procured girls for Epstein — claims she has always denied. Ms Maxwell, now 53, was educated at Marlborough College and Oxford University. In 2000 she and Epstein were seen on holiday with Prince Andrew at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. That same year, she took the prince to a 'hookers and pimps' themed party in New York, which was hosted by the former lingerie model Heidi Klum. There were once rumours that Ms Maxwell would marry Epstein, but their relationship reportedly ended because he wanted to see other women. However, it is alleged that the services provided by Ms Maxwell to the wealthy financier extended to finding attractive girls for him and his friends. 2015 Factiva, Inc. All rights reserved.
