Prince Andrew is accused of taking part in an “underage orgy” on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, according to newly unsealed court documents.
A 2014 court filing — included in nearly 1,000 pages of documents ordered released by Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska last month — alleges a minor girl, known only as “Jane Doe 3,” was “forced to have sexual relations with Prince when she was a child.” -children in three separate geographical locations.”
That includes Ghislaine Maxwell’s London apartment, an undisclosed location in New York and “on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands (at a party with many other underage girls).”
The filing also alleges Epstein told “sex slaves” to “give the Prince whatever he asked for,” and alleges that Maxwell “facilitated Prince Andrew’s acts of sexual abuse by acting as a ‘mistress’ for Epstein” and helped smuggle victims internationally.
It’s not clear in court documents when the alleged orgy took place, but Epstein’s filing notes Jane Doe 3 was kept as a sex slave from 1999 to 2002.

The allegations were included in a defamation lawsuit settled by Epstein’s accuser Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell in 2015.
Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times around 2001, when she was 17 and 18 years old.
The age of consent in the US Virgin Islands is 18, but is lower in the UK, at 16.
Another of Epstein’s accusers, Johanna Sjoberg, said in a 2016 deposition that the Duke of York put his hand on her breast as he sat on her lap at the financier’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001.
She also posed with Giuffre, whose breasts were groped using Andrew’s dummy, Sjoberg testified, according to her recent deposition.

“They put the doll on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the doll’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a picture,” she said of Maxwell and Epstein.
Andrew has denied the allegations, which were revealed and reported in a previous document dump, according to Reuters.
His name appeared 69 times in about 40 filings released late Wednesday — the start of a document dump expected to name more than 170 associates of Epstein, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

The prince has previously been accused of groping girls on Epstein’s so-called “Pedophile Island”, with the local attorney general claiming in 2020 that one of his employees saw Andrew engage in lewd acts on a balcony “in the open”.
“She said she remembers walking up to him and saying, ‘Good morning, Your Honor,'” Denise George, the top prosecutor for the US Virgin Islands, told Vanity Fair at the time.
In 2019, Andrew was apparently fired from his royal duties because of his relationship with Epstein.
However, the royal family is expected to continue to “stand by” the disgraced prince, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said.
“We saw it not only at Sandringham but remember the clear picture we saw of Prince Andrew in the car with the Prince and Princess of Wales on the way to church at Balmoral,” he told GBN.

“I think he has confirmed to them that… there are no more skeletons in the closet,” he added.
Schofield continued, “It’s not a good look and I think you’re only as strong as your weakest team member and unfortunately he’s their weakest team member.
“But they will stand by him. It never complains, never explains. That is their strategy.”
