Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘sex slave’ has claimed she retracted allegations that the paedophile made sex tapes of Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Richard Branson.
Sarah Ransome made the claims in 2016, which have only now been revealed in newly released documents, saying that the three men were filmed by the paedophile financier using hidden cameras throughout his various properties.
Miss Ransome retracted her allegations in the same year, reportedly saying that she invented the tapes to shine a light on what Epstein was doing.
But, appearing on Good Morning Britain today, she reiterated her claims and said she was forced to retract the allegations after she and her family were threatened ‘with harm’ by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
She added that it is ‘no secret that everything was recorded’ and claimed that ‘multiple victims have come forward’ confirming her account.
A spokesperson for Mr Branson described the claims as ‘baseless and unfounded’.

A US judge has ordered hundreds of documents to be unsealed as part of Virginia Giuffre’s legal claim against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, which was filed in 2015.
The sex tapes claim was made in a letter Miss Ransome sent a journalist in 2016 talking about her experiences. It was made public in a tranche of court documents released on Monday.
In the letter, Miss Ransome wrote: ‘When my friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, sex tapes were in fact filmed on each separate occasion by Jeffrey.
‘Thank God she managed to get a hold of some footage of the filmed sex 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!
‘When my friend eventually had the courage to speak out and went to the police in 2008 to report what had happened, nothing was done and she was utterly humiliated by the police department where she went to report what had happened with Epstein, Clinton, Branson and Prince Andrew.’
Miss Ransome also claimed: ‘I have backed up the footage on several USB sticks and have securely sent them to various different locations throughout Europe.’
The sex tapes claim was described as ‘baseless and unfounded’ by Richard Branson’s spokesman.
They pointed to a 2019 article in the New Yorker magazine which said Miss Ransome had ‘invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behaviour and make him believe she had ‘evidence that would come out if he harmed me’.

Miss Ransome, 38, whose father is Lord Macpherson, the second baron of Drumochter, has previously told how she was raped up to three times a day by Epstein, having been tricked by Ghislane Maxwell into his sordid web of abuse when she was a 22-year-old wannabe model.
Miss Ransome was one of 11 women allowed to give statements to Miss Maxwell’s New York sentencing hearing in 2022 about how the British socialite had wrecked their lives.
But this is the first time her claims about Epstein sex taping Andrew, Sir Richard and former US President Clinton have been spelt out in court documents.
The theory about sex tapes has long swirled around the Epstein case. Two of his victims, Maria Farmer and Virginia Roberts Giuffre, claim that they saw a room full of CCTV monitors at Epstein’s $65million mansion in New York, including some showing cameras in the toilets.
When police raided the mansion in 2019, they found dozens of tapes of girls in a twisted library the disgraced financier kept.
And Maxwell herself appeared to have admitted the tapes existed after being tricked by a journalist for the TV show 60 Minutes, telling him: ‘I don’t know where they are’.
But if the FBI does have any sex tapes of famous people, they have never emerged publicly.
No such tapes were even referred to in Miss Maxwell’s trial, let alone produced in evidence. Maxwell was jailed for 20 years for running a sex trafficking ring and molesting schoolgirls with Epstein.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has slammed the ‘baseless’ accusations that he had sex with ‘many girls’ after he was named in the latest batch of documents.
‘These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit,’ said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung Monday, amid the latest document release related to the Epstein case.

An image of Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island has resurfaced as part of the latest release of US court documents
The statement blasting the unsubstantiated accusations came after the release of emails containing further accusations from Miss Ransome back in 2016.
Meanwhile, an image of Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island has resurfaced as part of the latest release of US court documents.
A photo of the politician and the paedophile financier from 2006 is included in the latest tranche of unsealed papers.
It shows the Labour grandee sporting a £21,000 Patek Philippe watch and trying on a white leather belt at a fashion boutique in the US Virgin Islands.
It was previously reported that Branson had breakfast with Epstein just three years after the paedophile was jailed for child prostitution, according to court documents.
In 2019 a spokeswoman for the billionaire Virgin founder said that the two men had ‘no personal or business relationship’.
But a bombshell legal document revealed that in 2011 Epstein emailed his private banker Jes Staley and the former Labour Cabinet Minister Peter Mandelson to tell them of his alleged meeting with Branson.
The document states: ‘On January 7, 2011 Epstein writes to Peter Mandelson (copying Staley) ‘had breakfast with Richard Branson, he is also a big fan of Africa’.
Epstein was a convicted sex offender at the time of the alleged meeting. In June 2008 he pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and was sentenced to 18 months in jail.
Epstein had a ‘little black book’ containing the names of 301 of Britain’s richest and most powerful people including Branson and Prince Andrew, it was claimed in 2019.
The paedophile cultivated an extraordinary cache of more than 1,000 phone numbers and email addresses for hundreds of famous names across the Atlantic.
