Prince Andrew’s ex-girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey has claimed Jeffrey Epstein used his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, as bait to reel in young girls for him to abuse.
Hervey said the late pedophile sex trafficker “kind of sat back and sort of waited for her to, sort of, go fishing.”

The 44-year-old socialite and the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol first met Maxwell and Epstein 20 years ago when she was “really young and naïve.”
A clip from the new ITV documentary was released to The Daily Mail featuring Lady Victoria describing Maxwell and Epstein as a “double act” like “Batman and Robin.”
“Jeffrey was really the frontman, and Ghislaine was the accomplice,” Lady Victoria said.
“It was kind of like a Batman and Robin, and they were a double act. I don’t think Jeffrey could have done any of it without Ghislaine.”
“And Ghislaine was crucial to getting those girls, was she, do you think to those dinners?” Presenter Ranvir Singh asked.
Lady Victoria replied:

The new documentary will see fresh claims against Prince Andrew following a series of dramatic developments, including Duke of York’s legal battle with sex accuser Virginia Giuffre will go to trial.
But Lady Victoria claimed Maxwell was a “victim” of Epstein.
The socialite claimed she had no idea what Epstein and Maxwell were up to at the time.
“She is a scapegoat right now, so unfortunately for her, she is being taken down for what he has done as well. Some might argue is not quite as fair as it could be,” she said.
“I mean to be honest I think Ghislaine was a victim and is a victim.
“She was a victim that then became the accomplice as her role changed in that relationship when they were no longer together.
“She kind of switched sides.
“I do see her as a victim as well,” Lady Victoria added.
Maxwell faces 65 years in prison for facilitating the sexual abuse of minors by Epstein.
Maxwell was found guilty on five of six counts of sex trafficking last year.
“At the time I was the IT girl of London, on the social scene, everyone knew me, I was at every dinner event,” Victoria said.
“It was a plus having me on her list of who to invite.
“It probably kept it more interesting for all the men she was entertaining. Obviously, you want to have attractive girls who are the hot girls in London at the time,” she added.
She then said Epstein “wouldn’t have worked with him on his own,” adding “it was a lot easier for her to approach other women being a female.”
Victoria’s revelations come following news Prince Andrew and Maxwell were reportedly dating when he allegedly raped Jeffrey Epstein’s victim.
As Neon Nettle reported:
The report alleges that Andrew and Maxwell were dating at the time the infamous photograph of the prince with his arm around his accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, was taken.
It was the same night the photo was taken in Maxwell’s London home that Giuffre says Andrew raped her for the first time after she was trafficked to the UK for sex by Epstein.
