One of Jeffrey Epstein's victims has claimed that he did make sex tapes of his wealthy friends – and not only has she seen them, she's made copies.
And Sarah Ransome's newly released deposition has rekindled allegations that top attorney Alan Dershowitz was involved in the abuse of underage girls.
Ransome claimed in the deposition taken as part of a lawsuit that Virginia Giuffre filed against Epstein's one-time girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell that she has seen footage of two of Epstein's associates having sex with a female victim.
And she claims that she had been forced into a threesome with Dershowitz and an unidentified woman.
Dershowitz denies any abuse. He told the Daily Beast: 'Let me be very clear—I have had sex with one woman since the day I met my wife.
'And during the entire relevant period of time, I never had any contact with Ransome. I’ve never had any contact with anyone else. And the stories are all made up.'
Ransome goes on to claim that footage she saw will 'haunt me for the rest of my life' and that the faces of the two men were clearly visible. She does not identify those men.
Ransome even claims to have copies which she has stored at several secure locations around Europe and says she fears retaliation by Epstein even though he is dead.
The bombshell claim gives new insight into the long-held theory that Epstein blackmailed his wealthy male friends with secretly recorded videos of them having sex with underage girls he provided.
Ransome, who was born in South Africa and moved to Scotland aged 14, was lured into Epstein's web by one of his recruiters after coming to New York to become a model.
Epstein claimed he had connections at FIT, the New York fashion college, and Ransome says he 'used my education as a way for me to trade my soul to the devil and become a sex slave to pay for my studies'.
While the college placement never materialized, failure to agree to have sex with Epstein would lead to him refusing to support her anymore, leaving Ransome penniless and with no prospect of making it as a model, she claims.
Among the newly unsealed documents are emails sent by Ransome explaining the existence of the tapes.
Ransome writes: 'When my friend had sexual intercourse with (redacted) and (redacted), sex tapes were in fact filmed on each occasion by Jeffrey.
'Thank God she managed to get ahold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes which clearly identify the faces of (redacted) and (redacted) having sexual intercourse with her'.
Epstein does not appear in the video, something that Ransome says showed how 'clever' he was.
The friend sent Ransome some of the footage 'implicating' both men and she writes that she has seen 'with my own two eyes the evidence of these sexual acts'.
Ransome writes: 'I will be more than willing to swear under oath and testify in court over these sex tapes….it will break your heart into a million tiny pieces when you watch this footage.'
Ransome claims that she has backed up the footage on several USB sticks that she has stored at various locations in Europe.
Only one other person knows where the footage is 'in case anything happens to me before the footage is released', Ransome writes.
