An exotic dancer once alleged that she performed “sex acts” on Jeffrey Epstein and then-Prince Andrew after they begged her for a threesome, according to a newly unearthed legal letter that sought $250,000 hush money.
The unidentified dancer claimed the seedy tryst happened after she was chauffeured to a party at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in 2006, according to a letter to Epstein’s lawyers released in the latest trove of files made public.
In the legal letter dated March 23, 2011, the woman — who was only described as a “popular dancer at Rachel’s Strip Club” — claimed she and several others were offered $10,000 to dance at a party at Epstein’s home.
Once she arrived, the woman claimed she was escorted upstairs to a bedroom where Epstein and the British royal were waiting.
“At his home, Mr. Epstein introduced my client to his guest Prince Andrew. My client then danced for
the men, undressing until she was wearing only a bra and panties,” the woman’s lawyer wrote in the letter.
“Mr. Epstein and Prince Andrew then told my client they wanted to have a threesome. She said she was
hired to dance, not to have sex. Mr. Epstein said they would pay her later for dancing, and they
prevailed upon her to engage in various sex acts.”
She alleged she was driven back to the strip club after the two men “satisfied themselves.”
The dancer claimed, though, that Epstein later stiffed her by handing over just $2,000 of the promised $10,000, the letter stated.
“My client has not pursued her claims against your client until this time because she is not proud of the
circumstances of that night. She was working as an exotic dancer, but she was treated like a prostitute,” the woman’s lawyer argued.
She then demanded $250,000 to not go public with her alleged encounter with Epstein and Andrew, according to the letter.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Epstein met the dancer’s demands.
The letter was made public as the former prince, who is now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, faces increasing pressure to open up about his sex offender pal.
It comes, too, after British cops confirmed they are reviewing explosive allegations that Epstein sent a woman to the UK to have sex with Andrew in his Royal Lodge.
The unidentified accuser claimed she was trafficked to have sex with the ex-royal at his now-former residence when she was in her 20s — and even got a tour of Buckingham Palace after.
“We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes,” a Thames Valley Police spokesperson said.
“We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures. We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.”
British authorities have already probed claims that Andrew had sex with longtime accuser Virginia Giuffre in London.
The former royal has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
