Prince Andrew took a previously undisclosed flight on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet in February 1999, alongside a group that included Russian model Anna Malova, according to flight logs.
The flight from the US Virgin Islands to Florida carried nine people, including Malova, then 27. The logs were kept by Epstein's pilots and filed to a US court by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has alleged she was used as a sex slave by Epstein. They were among almost 2,000 pages of records released by a federal judge this month, having been absent from previously published logs.
Andrew has denied any wrongdoing. In a statement on Saturday, he said he did not “see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort” that led to Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from an underage girl. He added that it was a mistake to have continued seeing Epstein after that.
Epstein was found dead in his New York jail cell this month while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, with the medical examiner ruling his death a suicide. Malova, a former Miss Russia and finalist in the 1998 Miss Universe pageant, was later jailed in the US for failing to comply with a court-ordered programme relating to her use of prescription painkillers. She denied all charges.
Also on the flight were Ghislaine Maxwell, a close friend of Epstein accused by several victims of assisting his abuse, and Gwendolyn Beck, a former financial executive. Last week, an email from literary agent John Brockman alleged Andrew was seen receiving a foot massage from two young Russian women at Epstein's Manhattan home, and video emerged of Andrew at the property in 2010.
