A newly released document included an allegation by accuser Sarah Ransome that former billionaire and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein filmed “her friend” on separate occasions having sex with President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and businessman Richard Branson.
“(M)y friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, sex tapes were in fact filmed on each separate occasion… I eventually managed to persuade her to send me some of the video footage which she kept, implicating all three men,” Sarah Ransome said in the document.
Ransome did not share the footage, saying, “I have backed up the footage on several USB sticks and have securely sent them to various different locations throughout Europe with only one other person close to me knowing where their locations are, just in case anything happens to me before the footage is released.”
She later retracted what she told a reporter in 2016, saying “only bad things will happen as a consequence of me going public.” In 2019, the New Yorker reported that she told the publication “she had invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behavior.”
