Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Prince Andrew’s accuser, is facing sexual assault charges after another alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein claims the paedophile ordered Giuffre to abuse her.
Rina Oh, 43, filed a legal action against Giuffre in US District Court, alleging that Giuffre ‘touched her without consent’ in 2001, leaving her ‘frozen like a deer.’
The alleged encounter occurred in the massage parlor of notorious financier Epstein’s Manhattan apartment and was revealed as part of a defamation lawsuit between the two ladies.
In court filings, Oh’s representatives claimed: ‘[Oh] was surprised when she was called to the massage room to see Epstein, and found Epstein and [Giuffre] waiting for her.
‘[Giuffre] then proceeded to touch [Oh] without [Oh’s] consent and much to her horror.
‘[Oh] did not reciprocate or sexually touch [Giuffre].’
Oh told the New York Post: ‘I went into the massage room and [Giuffre] touched me without my consent; she sexually abused me.
‘I was standing there, frozen like a deer. I did not move. I was in shock. I felt mortified and was uncomfortable.’
Oh said that she was introduced to Epstein after the end of a relationship and that she had once described the paedophile financier as a ‘rich, older boyfriend’ but now says she was a victim of sexual abuse.
Giuffre’s attorney Kat Thomas told the New York Post: ‘The allegations of sexual assault against Ms. Giuffre are not true.’
The court battle between the two ladies began when Oh sued Giuffre for defamation after the latter tweeted that Oh ‘procured & partook in the abuse of youngsters’ with Epstein.
Oh is suing for ten million dollars in damages.
Giuffre countersued, alleging that she was a victim of Oh’s sadomasochist sexual assault and physical torture, which included cutting, slashing, and other physical injuries during the sadomasochist sessions.
Oh denied the allegations to the Post, saying: ‘I never cut her leg. I never touched her. I never heard of anyone doing anything like that during my involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.
‘I am not that kind of person. I am afraid of needles and faint when my blood gets taken.’
Giuffre recently reached a settlement with Prince Andrew worth a reported $12million after sex trafficking claims.
The prince agreed to pay a huge sum to settle the case before it reached a jury.
Although the agreement contained no formal admission of liability from Andrew, or an apology, it said he now accepted Miss Roberts was a ‘victim of abuse’ and that he regretted his association with Epstein, the disgraced financier who trafficked countless young girls.
It also said the prince accepted that Miss Roberts, now 38, had been subjected to ‘unfair public attacks’ and that he had never intended to ‘malign her character’.
