Model ‘met Andrew on Epstein’s island’ earlier than ‘assault’ by billionaire paedophile

Lisa Phillips claims she was briefly introduced to a man she says was Andrew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, before she alleges she was assaulted by Epstein later that evening

A fashion model alleges she encountered the former Prince Andrew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, before the situation turned sinister. Lisa Phillips featured on RTE chat show The Late Late Show, presented by Cat Deeley’s former partner Patrick Kielty, in February to share her accusations.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied all allegations of misconduct. While Lisa was working in the Caribbean, she claims a mate convinced her to visit Epstein’s island, Little Saint James, for the day.

She alleged: “At that time, I noticed there was an older gentleman in the pool, he was frolicking and canoodling with one of the other young girls, so I just made a note of that.”

Lisa claimed that subsequently, she was introduced to a man who she alleges was Andrew. She claims that during dinner, she encountered Epstein for the first time, and he told her: “I would like for you to meet a prince.”

She alleged she was then briefly introduced to a man who she claims was Andrew, adding: “He said hello and then he left. I didn’t see him again.”

Lisa said matters turned sinister when she and her friend were preparing to retire for the night, after being unable to take the boat off the island due to the late hour, reports the Express.

She said: “After dinner, we went back to our quarters, where it was already really late at night, so we couldn’t take the boat back. I really wish we had.

“We got ready for bed. We were just talking and there was a knock at the door, and one of the other young girls from earlier said, ‘Jeffrey is ready for your massage.’ That’s when things shifted.”

She claims she was told: “If Jeffrey said we have to do it, we have to do it,” and discovered a naked Epstein awaiting in the ‘massage room’.

Lisa alleged: “We went in and we did an actual massage. Then the massage turned pretty dark. We were both assaulted that evening.

“We ran out of there, back to the room and stayed up all night waiting for the boat to come, dawn to break, to get out of there. I left and never went back.”

Lisa, however, claims she continued to encounter Epstein, alleging: “Jeffrey liked his massages. It didn’t happen every time and although he was helping you, you would go and see him, he would talk to you, mentor you and then you would try and escape or leave.”
