Andriano,who waived her anonymity in an interview with the UK’sDaily Mail,said:“I asked her if she’d been to the palace. And she said,‘I got to sleep with him’. I said,‘What? You’re f------ with me’,and she said,‘No,I got to sleep with him.’ She didn’t seem upset about it. She thought it was pretty cool.”
Sources close to the case told the LondonTelegraph thatAndrew,who is still hoping the suit is dismissed before it reaches trial,could seek to use her as a witness to prove Giuffre was not a victim.
The 35-year-oldAndriano,who testified last month at Maxwell’s federal trial using only her first name,said she was introduced to Epstein and Maxwell in 2002 by Giuffre,who asked if she “wanted to go make money”.
Andriano,who was 14 at the time,said Giuffre,then aged either 17 or 18,brought her to Epstein’s house in Palm Beach,Florida,where the pair were greeted by Maxwell.
She said the girls,who were friends from school,were paid $US300 in $US100 bills at the end of each encounter.
Alan Dershowitz,a Harvard lawyer who once represented Epstein,last week formally asked a Manhattan court if he could question Andriano about a similar account she gave at Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial.
