March 2011. FBI to reopen investigation into disgraced banker Jeffrey Epstein following Mail on Sunday revelations about sexual exploitation of teenage girls + links with high-profile individuals, incl Prince Andrew.
The FBI wants to interview Esptein's former personal 'masseuse', Virginia Roberts; she was recruited as Epstein's sex slave when she was just 15.
In an exclusive interview with The Mail, Virginia confirmed she will fully co-operate w the new investigation which could have serious implications for Epstein + embarrass Prince Andrew who she met on 3 occasions. 'I will talk to the FBI,' Virginia said.'I am anxious. I am still frightened of him because he has so much power. I had to put this behind me. 'But in the end this is not for me. It's because I'm afraid there are a lot of girls still doing what I did for him, 8 years after I left. I want to be the one who breaks the chain.'
A source close to the inquiry said the FBI decided to reopen the case because of Virginia's revelations to The Mail last week. He said: 'Now that Virginia has come forward and identified herself as a victim who was flown around the world by Epstein for the purpose of committing a criminal act, this is being taken seriously.
Now a married Mother of 3 living in Australia, Virginia alleged that her services were offered to a number of politicians, businessmen and international statesmen.
She met Prince Andrew the first time was at the London house of Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the disgraced former media tycoon Robert Maxwell. The second time was at Epstein's grand New York townhouse and the third on Epstein's private Caribbean island.
The new FBI investigation will undoubtedly be of grave concern to Prince Andrew, whose continued friendship with the financier, a convicted child sex offender, was unwise. On Friday, he severed all ties with Epstein - although the new investigation could reveal further damaging details of their association.
It's believed the new investigation will center on Epstein's procuring of young girls + paying them to provide sexual favours for his business associates at his homes in New York, Florida, U.S. Virgin Islands + New Mexico.
Epstein's palatial houses were secretly covered by a network of hidden video cameras, raising concerns that compromising footage exists of a number of rich and powerful individuals useful to Epstein's work as a money manager. 'If Virginia's allegations are correct, Epstein may have committed offenses not covered by the non-prosecution agreement,' our source said.
The previous FBI investigation was shelved after Epstein's lawyers struck a plea bargain with prosecutors at the US Attorney's office in South Florida in which Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution + a single charge of procuring minors for prostitution. Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in 2008; he only served 13 months.
Virginia agreed the original questioning was insufficient but felt powerless to do anything. 'I felt no one was listening to me,' she said, 'including maybe my own lawyers. 'I told my lawyers I thought that some of the men I had to have sex with were powerful and rich, but they didn't even show me pictures that would have helped me identify them." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic... and at http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/...
