Prince Andrew’s friendship with the billionaire sex offender drew scandal and opprobrium. In 2011 this photo of Prince Andrew walking in Central Park with Epstein, shortly after Epstein’s release from jail, saw the Duke forced to quit his role as the British Government’s global trade envoy
He was accompanied by two girls – both of whom appeared to be in their early twenties.
One, her long blonde hair falling loose, held a glass and stood on her tip-toes to embrace and kiss Epstein goodbye while he squeezed her backside.
The other, with dirty-blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, boarded the SUV with Epstein.
The pair was then driven to Teterboro private airport in New Jersey where they boarded a waiting private jet that took them to St Thomas in the Caribbean.
It is a decade since investigators first looked into a tip that women working as assistants to Epstein were procuring underage girls to give him sexual massages.
Detectives sifted through the trash outside his Palm Beach home. As the inquiry unfolded they spoke with dozens of girls, some of whom were 15 or younger.
Many of the allegations resurfaced earlier this year when Virginia Roberts, now 31, – who bears a striking resemblance to the blonde seen embracing Epstein on Wednesday – claimed to have been Epstein’s sex slave.
She went on to allege that in 2001 when she was an underage teenager she had sex with Epstein’s one-time friend Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.

The allegations were vehemently denied by the Duke and were removed from court records following a federal judge’s ruling in April. Court papers lodged in Florida had accused Prince Andrew of having sex with Miss Roberts when she was 17.
She claimed that under the orders of Epstein she was ‘forced’ to have sex with the prince three times in 2001 – in London, New York and on Epstein’s Caribbean island.
Her accusations were part of submissions made by lawyers acting for Miss Roberts who wanted to join an existing civil lawsuit launched by two other women.
US District Judge Kenneth Marra refused Miss Roberts permission to join the lawsuit and said in his written judgment that the sex abuse details had no bearing on the lawsuit’s goal of reopening the Epstein non-prosecution agreement.
It is not the first time Prince Andrew’s friendship with the billionaire sex offender has drawn scandal and opprobrium. In 2011 pictures of Prince Andrew walking in Central Park with Epstein, shortly after his release from jail, saw the Duke forced to quit his role as the British Government’s global trade envoy.
As for Epstein he has been dogged by the scandal of sexual abuse ever since he struck an infamous plea bargain which saw him sentenced to just eighteen months in prison for a misdemeanor – soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.
Just last July a judge released a cache of court documents from Epstein’s 2008 plea deal that showed prosecutors suspected the financier of abusing up to 40 underage girls – but failed to charge him and instead offered him a secret plea bargain.
Speaking at the weekend in an interview with the New York Times Alan Dershowitz, the attorney who lead Epstein’s aggressive defense team – whose tactic was to destroy the girls’ credibility – admitted that he had initially had doubts when Epstein first asked him to take the case.
Dershowitz’s fury over sexual misconduct allegations
He said: ‘I said, “Look, you know Jeffery, we’re acquaintances, maybe that’s not such a great idea.” He said, “No, no, no, I really need you to do this.”’
And, on reflection, Dershowitz realized the case was ‘right in my wheel house.’
Dershowitz had been vacationing with Epstein at his Palm Beach house with his wife and grandchildren in December, just a few months before that 2005 phone call.
His friendship with Epstein began in the mid-1990s on Martha’s Vineyard and Dershowitz was soon drawn into the rarified world of the former college dropout who once worked for Bear Stearns and would say only that he managed investments for billionaires.
He recalled that social circle as consisting of scientists, socialites and celebrities. Epstein donated $30million to research at Harvard and President Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey flew aboard his private jet to Africa to discuss AIDS policy.
Deshowitz flew in the private jet too and admitted that Epstein was often surrounded by young women but none of them, he said, struck him as underage. “I never got involved in his social life,’ he claimed.
After taking the case, Dershowitz gathered information from the girls’ posting on social media, which he claimed showed they were drug users or had lied to Epstein about their age.
He put together a defense team including Roy Black, a prominent trial lawyer, and Kenneth W Starr who famously led the investigation into Clinton’s involvement with Monica Lewinsky.
After meeting with the team a local prosecutor recommended that Epstein be charged only with a misdemeanor. It was a decision that so infuriated the chief of Palm Beach police that he wrote a letter to the Justice Department. It was to no avail.
Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in jail and released after 13 for good behavior. He is a registered sex offender.
