Jeffrey Epstein's “sex slave” insisted the pedophile made sex videos of Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Richard Branson, but claimed she was forced to retract the allegations after she and her family were threatened.
Sarah Ransome made the claims in 2016, which have only now been revealed in newly released documents. She said the three men were filmed by the pedophile financier using hidden cameras at his various properties.
Ms. Ransome withdrew her allegations that same year, reportedly saying she fabricated the tapes to shed light on Epstein's actions.
But appearing on Good Morning Britain today, she repeated her claims and said she was forced to withdraw the allegations after Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and “others” threatened “harm” to her and her family.
She added that it was “no secret that everything was recorded” and claimed that “several victims have come forward,” confirming her account.
A spokesman for Mr Branson called the claims “baseless and unfounded”.

Richard Branson's spokesman (pictured) described the sex tape claim as “baseless and unfounded”.
A US judge has ordered the unsealing of hundreds of documents as part of Virginia Giuffre's 2015 lawsuit against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
The sex tape claim was made in a letter Miss Ransome sent to a journalist in 2016, recounting her experiences. This was disclosed in a series 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 videos were actually filmed by Jeffrey each.”
“Thankfully she managed to get some footage of the sex videos that were filmed, which clearly show the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson having sexual intercourse with her.”
“Disappointingly, Epstein wasn’t in any of the footage, but he was so smart!”
“When my friend finally had the courage to speak out and went to the police in 2008 to report what had happened, nothing was done and she was arrested by the police who she went to to report what happened Epstein, Clinton and Branson were completely humiliated and Prince Andrew.'
Ms Ransome also claimed: “I backed up the footage on several USB sticks and sent them securely to various locations across Europe.”
A spokesman for Mr. Branson referred to a 2019 New Yorker article that said Ms. Ransome “made up the tapes to draw attention to Epstein's behavior and make him believe she had “evidence to support him.” light would come 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 after Ghislane Maxwell entangled her in his dirty web of abuse when she was 22 – year old wannabe model.
Miss Ransome was one of 11 women allowed to give evidence at Miss Maxwell's sentencing hearing in New York in 2022 about how the British socialite had ruined their lives.
However, this is the first time her claims about Epstein's sex tapes with Andrew, Sir Richard and former US President Clinton have been laid out in court documents.
The sex tape theory has long been circulating in the Epstein case. Two of his victims, Maria Farmer and Virginia Roberts Giuffre, claim they saw a room full of CCTV monitors in Epstein's $65 million New York mansion, including some showing cameras in the toilets.
When police searched the mansion in 2019, they found dozens of cassette tapes of girls in a twisted library kept by the disgraced financier.
And Maxwell herself appeared to have admitted that the tapes existed after she was tricked by a journalist for the TV show 60 Minutes, telling him: “I don't know where they are.”
However, when the FBI has sex videos of famous people, they have never surfaced publicly.
Such tapes were not even mentioned in Miss Maxwell's trial, let alone presented as evidence. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for running a sex trafficking ring with Epstein and abusing schoolgirls.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has dismissed “baseless” allegations that he had sex with “a lot of girls” after being named in the latest documents.
“These baseless allegations have been completely withdrawn because they are simply false and baseless,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said Monday amid the latest document release related to the Epstein case.

An image of Labor politician Lord Peter Mandelson on Jeffrey Epstein's private island has resurfaced as part of the latest release of US court documents
The statement, which strongly criticized the unsubstantiated allegations, came after the publication of emails containing further allegations from Miss Ransome in 2016.
Meanwhile, an image of Labor politician 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 pedophile financier from 2006 is included in the latest tranche of unsealed papers.
It shows the Labor grandee wearing a £21,000 Patek Philippe watch and trying on a white leather belt in a fashion boutique in the US Virgin Islands.
According to court documents, Branson had breakfast with Epstein three years after the pedophile was jailed for child prostitution.
In 2019, a spokeswoman for the billionaire Virgin founder said the two men had “no personal or business relationship.”
But a explosive legal document revealed that Epstein emailed his private banker Jes Staley and former Labor cabinet minister Peter Mandelson in 2011 to tell them of his alleged meeting with Branson.
The document states: “On January 7, 2011, Epstein writes to Peter Mandelson (copying to Staley): “I 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 prison.
Epstein has a “little black book” with the names of 301 of Britain's richest and most powerful people, including Branson and Prince Andrew, it was said in 2019.
The pedophile has created an extraordinary cache of more than 1,000 phone numbers and email addresses for hundreds of famous names across the Atlantic.
