Jeffrey Epstein, the se*x offender's court files were made public recently and have been creating an uproar globally as they revealed how several significant public figures were linked with the American financer and have been involved in sex* crimes. In the recent revelation, one of Epstein's sexual abuse victims claimed that the pedophile recorded and kept "se*x tapes" of several dignitaries including former United States president Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and British business tycoon Richard Branson.
Sarah Ransome, a British-South African woman, met Epstein in 2006, when she was 22 and alleged that like many young girls that met him she was offered monetary benefits in exchange for giving massages to the abuser and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the New Yorker reported.
Ransome, in a series of emails in 2016, claimed that her friend engaged in se*x with "Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson". What makes the account obscene is that the intercourse sessions were recorded and filmed by Epstein.
"Thank God she managed to get a hold of some footage of the filmed se*x tapes, which clearly identify the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson having sexual intercourse with her. Frustratingly enough Epstein was not seen in any of the footage but he was clever like that," she wrote.
The woman also alleged that Donald Trump on a "regular" basis had sexual intercourse with one of her friends at the Epstein New York mansion. "She confided in me about her casual 'friendship' with Donald. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her," one of her emails read.
"I will also make sure that everyone on the God damn planet sees that footage and photos and will release them to WikiLeaks by Sunday," she wrote, The Guardian reported.
However, Ransome failed to produce the copies of se*x tapes that she claimed she held and even said that she had made up the entire narrative to protect herself if Epstein tried to harm her.
"I shouldn't have contacted you and I'm sorry I wasted your time. It's not worth coming forward and I will never be heard anyhow and only bad things will happen as a consequence of me going public," Ransome said, withdrawing her allegations.
Epstein in 2019 died by suicide while awaiting trial on se*x trafficking charges, while Maxwell has been awarded an 20 years of jail term.
