The FBI has been urged to release CCTV footage by a lawyer representing victims of Jeffrey Epstein that he claims could show Prince Andrew at the billionaire US paedophile’s mansion.
Spencer Kuvin, an attorney who has represented nine of Epstein’s victims, is calling on police in the US to release video from home surveillance cameras following the release of records detailing Andrew’s links to the convicted sex offender, The Telegraph reports.
In the files, Johanna Sjoberg, who was a massage therapist for Epstein, claimed that the Duke of York groped her breast on a couch inside Epstein’s Manhattan apartment in 2001, an allegation which Andrew denies.
A former housekeeper for Epstein, Juan Alessi, also alleged Andrew had daily massages when he spent ‘weeks’ at Epstein’s Florida property, according to court papers released this week.
Mr Alessi said he believes the Duchess of York came to the Florida estate ‘only once and for a short time’, but identified Andrew as a person he said ‘spent weeks with us’.

When asked if he would ‘frequently have massages’, Mr Alessi responded: ‘I would say, daily massages.’
Kuvin, the chief legal officer of Goldlaw in Palm Beach, along with other former employees and victims of Epstein, have all said that every room in all of his mansions had 24-hour security cameras in use.
Kuvin claimed that senior FBI officers took the hard disks and stored videos and now wants the bureau to let the public view the material on those videos.
‘I can tell you one thing,’ the Florida-based attorney told TMZ Live. ‘I personally walked through Jeffrey Epstein’s home after the search warrant was executed and I identified numerous cameras and computer hard drives that were missing and a lot of that information was seized by the FBI not only in Palm Beach but also in Virgin Islands and Manhattan.
‘Where are the videos? That is what the population needs to see.’
Discussing the newly released US court papers detailing the connections of Epstein, Kuvin said they gave ‘context’ as to why prominent figures had been linked to the billionaire.
He said: ‘The biggest names like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew are individuals that everybody already knew about or heard about in the past.
‘These documents just validate what everybody had been discussing. What is important to understand is now the context in which they have been identified.
‘For example this deposition of Johanna Sjoberg, which had previously been sealed, now gives some context to exactly what Jeffrey Epstein was doing with Prince Andrew and some young girls that were there at the time.
‘I think the public does [have] a right to get some answers from those individuals.’

He added: ‘The biggest problem with most of the individuals that socialised with Jeffrey Epstein is that they were a part of tacitly normalising his behaviour.
‘I don’t care if you just socialised with the man or if your bank provided him a loan or if you just happened to fly on his plane and be friendly with him. Whatever you were doing with Epstein normalised a sexual predator so that he could gain access to more money and more victims.’
There is no suggestion that Mr Clinton took part in illegal activity, and a spokesman for him has stated that he was not aware of Mr Epstein’s crimes.
Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and being aware of Epstein’s behaviour.
