Sarah Ferguson ‘visited Jeffrey Epstein at phoney office he used to abuse women’ while imprisoned for child sex offences
SARAH Ferguson allegedly visited Jeffrey Epstein twice at his bogus firm where he abused victims while he was banged up on child sex offences.
The former Duchess of York, 66, is said to have met the convicted paedophile on two occasions at the Palm Beach office of the fake company he invented to secure work release while in jail.\
Sick Epstein had served 12 months for soliciting a child for prostitution and was placed under house arrest on release, but Ferguson visited at least twice during his imprisonment The Telegraph reports.
At the office on 250 South Australian Avenue – while Epstein was supposed to be in jail – Epstein victims have alleged that he abused them there.
According to one email, Fergie messaged him on April 4 2009 to ask whether she could stop by for “a quick cup of tea” during a layover in Florida – nine months into Epstein’s sentence.
She brazenly signed off the email: “Love Sarah The red Head.!!”
He followed up two days later to tell her she looked “great” and that he had read “everything you gave me”.
Epstein then emailed Fergie saying she should run the company.
Fergie had dropped off documents relating to her Mother’s Army initiative – an online network launched the next year.
Days later she replied to Epstein, saying: “My dear spectacular and special friend Jeffrey. You are a legend, and I am so proud of you. Thank you for looking after me so well.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ex-wife also made plans to visit Epstein at his office again for lunch the next week on her way to Canada from a trip to Grenada – but the plans fell through.
Epstein was due to meet his sex addiction therapist at the office that day.
Fergie called Epstein from the UK a fortnight later, on May 5, 2009, before visiting him a second time at his office on May 13, 2009.
The Telegraph reports that Lord Peter Mandelson also phoned Epstein while he was at the office and video called him there on one occasion.
It has been alleged that Epstein abused victims at the bogus company’s offices while he was supposed to be in jail.
The paedophile financier was given a work release programme after he was jailed in 2008 which allowed him to leave his cell for up to 12 hours a day.
One victim alleged Epstein had offered her a job at the office and that he had abused her there.
After Sarah Ferguson‘s visit, she continued to discuss her initiative with Epstein for several months.
She posted documents to the bogus company’s headquarters in June the same year.
Fergie found herself in the hot seat when emails were previously uncovered showing that she had visited Epstein with her two daughters – Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie when Epstein was released from jail.
At the time he had been on house arrest and emailed Ghislaine Maxwell to say “Ferg and the two girls came.”
Fergie tried to distance herself from Epstein years later but emails showed that Epstein joked with an associate about a police officer sitting at the office’s front desk when she visited.
He is said to have described “the absurdity of Fergie’s statements”, before adding: “There were law enforcement people in my office when I was on work release that let her in.”
A visitor log that recorded Epstein’s guests at his rented office was “destroyed by PBSO [the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office] pursuant to records retention schedules”, according to a 2021 investigation by Florida authorities.
