SHOCK CLAIM: Epstein kept secret sex tapes of Prince Andrew, Richard Branson and Bill Clinton…

PRINCE Andrew, Richard Branson and Bill Clinton were all secretly filmed having sex by Jeffrey Epstein, according to the latest batch of unsealed court docs.

One of Epstein’s victims, Sarah Ransome, claims in the new documents that the disgraced financier would film her “friend” having sex with each of the high-profile men.

Ransome added that “Epstein was not seen in any of the footage,” as “he was clever like that!”

She alleges in the shocking papers that former president Donald Trump had sex with “many girls”, including her friend.

The friend, whose age is not given, allegedly managed to get hold of copies of the tapes.

In a series of emails, sent to columnist Maureen Callahan in 2016, Ransome laid out the bombshell claims.

“My friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, sex tapes were in fact filmed on each separate occassion.

“I eventually managed to persuade her to send me some of the video footage which she kept, implicating all three men.”

Ransome claims to have copies of the footage but said she would not share them without the friend’s consent.

She writes: “I have backed up the footage on several USB sticks and have securely sent them to various different locations throughout Europe.”

And later she says of her friend: “She confided in me about her casual ‘friendship’ with Donald”.

One of Ransome’s emails goes into more detail about former US president Trump.

She details some of alleged his lurid sexual tastes in significant detail, apparently learning them from her friend.

The alleged filming took place in Epstein’s New York mansion.

Andrew and Clinton have always denied any allegations of wrongdoing and in a new statement, Branson dubbed the newly seen claims as “baseless”.

The court files then include emails sent from Ransome to Callahan, apparently retracting her claims.

In one email she writes: “I have spoken to my family at some length this morning and I would like to retract everything I have said to you and walk away from this.

“Only bad things will happen as a consequence of me going public.”

It comes as over 1000 pages of bombshell court documents including emails, depositions and legal papers spanning the 2010s were made public by a US judge last week.

The files were part of a 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell.

Previous court docs have revealed major allegations against the billionaire financier’s pals, including Prince Andrew.

Details of the lurid sex allegations made against convicted paedophile Epstein and Maxwell are frequent, as are shocking claims about Andrew.

They include his alleged involvement in an “underage orgy” while staying on Epstein’s private island and a claim that he groped a woman’s breast with a puppet while she sat in his lap like “Santa”.

And they claim an unnamed Jane Doe – understood to be his widely known accuser Virginia Giuffre – was “forced” by convicted sex offender Epstein to “have sexual relations” with the Duke.

Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking and Donald Trump are among the many high-profile figures also named in the documents, which include previous testimony by Maxwell and Giuffre.

The files shed further light on how Epstein would rub shoulders with the rich and famous – openly bragging about celebs he would claim to know.

In a statement on Monday, Branson said: “In a New Yorker report published in 2019, Ransome admitted that she had ‘invented’ the tapes.

“We can confirm that Sarah Ransome’s claims are baseless and unfounded.”
