Because I could find no other source for the story, I did not post it. However, since then, new reports about the existence of such tapes has emerged.
The Telegraph reports:
US authorities are ‘covering up’ video footage of the woman at the centre of underage sex allegations against Prince Andrew being forced to work as a “sex slave” for his friend, it has been claimed.
Virginia Roberts was so badly assaulted during the attacks by friends of billionaire convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that she feared for her life, a court in Florida was told.
“There were times when I was physically abused to the point that I remember fearfully thinking that I didn’t know whether I was going to survive,” Ms Roberts, now 31, alleged.
She accused US authorities of withholding taped evidence showing her engaging in sexual activity against her will in an affidavit filed on Friday.
“Based on my knowledge of Epstein and his organisation, as well as discussions with the FBI, it is my belief that federal prosecutors likely possess videotapes and photographic images of me as an underage girl having sex with Epstein and some of his powerful friends,” she said.
After informing Epstein of the abuse he replied “You get that sometimes”, she added.
Epstein, a billionaire financier, served 13 months of an 18 month sentence after he was found guilty of soliciting prostitution from girls as young as 14 in 2008.
Other individuals named as having participated in or facilitating Roberts’ abuse while she was below the age of consent include lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of media mogul Robert Maxwell.
Both Dershowitz and Maxwell deny any wrongdoing.
