Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton posed with Epstein's maid accused of facilitating sex-trafficking ring, pics reveal
Newly resurfaced pictures show several high-profile celebrities and powerful figures posing with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's maid, who has been accused of being complicit in his crimes and acting as a recruiter of sorts for his sex-trafficking ring.
Images uploaded on Facebook by Jun-Lyn Fontanilla, who, along with her husband, worked in Epstein's $77 million New York City mansion for more than a decade, show her alongside the likes of Prince Andrew, Chris Tucker, Sarah Ferguson, and Epstein himself.
In one of the pictures, posted in March 2010, she's seen smiling next to Prince Andrew, who is more than a head-and-a-half taller than her. On the other side of the Duke of York is her husband, who also worked in Epstein's mansion and features in most of her pictures. Andrew has been accused of sexually abusing Virginia Giuffre, who has claimed she was forced to sleep with him multiple times while she was still underage. He has furiously denied the allegations but was stripped of all his royal duties following a disastrous BBC interview about his friendship with Epstein.
Fontanilla, who also went by Rosalyn, also uploaded several snaps with Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. The Sun reported that Ferguson, who is also thought to have been close to Epstein after he lent her money to pay off a divorce debt, was in New York City around the time to address the United Nations on the devastating Chile earthquake that killed over 500 people.
In another from the same year, her husband is seen striking a pose next to Chris Tucker, best known for his role alongside Chinese star Jackie Chan in the action-comedy franchise 'Rush Hour,' and who is believed to have flown in Epstein's private jet as well. There are also pictures of the couple with US Senator John Kerry.
One of the more eye-catching uploads features her standing next to Bill Clinton, who has found his name repeatedly dragged into the Epstein scandal in recent times after it was reported that he was a frequent visitor to the multimillionaire financier's pedophile island in the US Virgin Islands. The former president has admitted to taking several trips on Epstein's infamous 'Lolita Express,' the 'sex plane' Epstein used to transport underage girls between his numerous mansions but has denied involvement in his sex-trafficking ring.
Fontanilla died in mysterious circumstances in 2016 but was named in a complaint in 2019 by alleged Epstein victim Jennifer Araoz. She said the maid "facilitated" Epstein's abuse but did not explicitly name her as a defendant because of her death.
Epstein, who was previously convicted of procuring an underage girl for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute in 2008, was arrested again in July 2019 on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. A little over a month later, he was found dead in his cell. While the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide, questions have been raised, including by President Donald Trump, whether there were other malicious forces at play.
Epstein's alleged "second-in-command" Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested last month and is also facing a slew of charges for her role in his alleged sex-trafficking ring.
