As
Prince Andrew tries to salvage his scandal-hit reputation in the 'sex
slave' case - the man who knows all of his pedophile pal Jeffrey
Epstein's secrets has died before he could tell all in an upcoming court
battle.
Alfredo
Rodriguez, who was Epstein's houseman for many years, passed away last
week after a six-month battle with cancer, his widow Patricia Dunn told
DailyMail.com.
'Of course he knew all about Prince Andrew,' Dunn said on the doorstep of the home she shared with Alfredo in southwest Miami.
Buried secrets: Alfredo Rodriguez, who
was Epstein's houseman for many years, passed away last week after a
six-month battle with cancer, his widow Patricia Dunn told
DailyMail.com. He carried many secrets of Epstein's scandalous
activities to his grave
Cold
comfort: Prince Andrew (right) has become embroiled in the scandal as
new court papers claim Epstein (left) supplied him with underage women
for sex. He says he found Epstein's friendship comforting
Home sweet home: Rodriguez saw a lot when he worked at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion
'We weren't expecting the case to come back into the news again,' she added.
DailyMail.com
revealed that Rodriguez kept a black book of Epstein's contacts — which
he referred to as 'The Holy Grail.' or 'Golden Nugget.' The dozens of
entries included contact details for A-list names including former
President Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger, Donald Trump, Earl Spencer, Barbara
Walters, Henry Kissinger and at least three members of the Kennedy
clan.
Court
papers state that Rodriguez argued that he needed to keep the journal
as insurance — as he feared Epstein would make him 'disappear'.
Court
papers also reveal that Rodriguez witnessed nude girls whom he believed
were underage at the pool area of the home and knew that his former
employer was engaging in sexual contact with underage girls and had
viewed pornographic images of underage girls on his home computers.
The
sensational case has blown up again following court papers filed by two
women last week. In them, Andrew, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz
— a key member of O.J. Simpson's legal dream team — and French modeling
scout Jean Luc Brunel were accused of taking advantage of the girls
when they were under 18.
Rodriguez
kept a detailed 'black book' of dozens of young women that Epstein
abused. The houseman was sentenced to 18 months jail — the same term as
his boss — in 2011 for failing to hand the journal to prosecutors.
Instead he tried to sell it to defense lawyers for $50,000.
The book 'detailed the full scope and the extent of Epstein's involvement with underage girls,' said lawyers.
The
book also had extensive contact details for Epstein's celebrity friends
who included former President Bill Clinton, actors Kevin Spacey and
Chris Rock and Celebrity Apprentice host, property mogul Donald Trump.
Dunn,
a real estate agent, told DailyMail.com that she did not personally
know the details and had never met any of the men. 'But I heard a lot of
stories,' she added.
'It was a terrible case and Alfredo wasn't really involved' she added.
Rodriguez,
who was 60, died on December 28 of mesothelioma. On her Facebook page,
his Bolivian-born wife wrote in Spanish: 'Though our lives were together
for 21 years, the last six months (since I learned of your illness)
were a rollercoaster of emotions, feelings and harsh experiences.
'I
learned again to love, to appreciate you, to meet you again, and have
patience, which is something I did not know and I learned with
pleasure.'
Stories: Rodriguez' wife, a real
estate agent, told DailyMail.com that she did not personally know the
details and had never met any of the men involved with Epstein. 'But I
heard a lot of stories,' she added
Rodriguez
took Epstein's book without disclosing it to prosecutors, who claim
that if they had known of it at the time of Epstein's court case he
would have received a much stiffer sentence.
But
rather than the details of what was in the book, it is what Rodriguez
witnessed that could have confirmed whether Prince Andrew had indeed
abused the teens. Court papers say Rodriguez 'saw numerous underage
girls coming into Epstein’s mansion for purported "massages".'
A
detailed 2007 account of the Epstein case published in New York
magazine claimed one of Rodriguez's duties was to wash sex toys that he
would find scattered on the floor of Epstein's many houses.
Never-married
Epstein, 61, was a physics and calculus teacher at the private Dalton
School in New York in 1976 when he caught the eye of one of his
student's fathers who offered him a job as an options trader with the
investment bank Bear Stearns.
He
later founded his own wealth management company, becoming hugely
wealthy in the process. He is said to own the largest private residence
in New York along with the private 78-acre Little St. James Island in
the Virgin Islands, a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, a huge ranch in
New Mexico and properties in London and Paris.
One of the Jane Doe's claimed Epstein forced her to have sex with Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz
He
has helped fund many science research projects and is a firm believer
in the power of massage — he gave $100,000 to Ballet Florida to allow
dancers to have daily rubdowns.
But
his reputation came crashing down in 2007 when the sordid details of
his penchant for young girls was laid bare in a sensational court case.
In the end he was sentenced to 18 months in jail on a single charge of
soliciting an under-age girl for prostitution.
He is now a registered sex offender.
He
had known Andrew for years — they vacationed together in Thailand and
the prince even stayed at his New York mansion after Epstein had
completed 13 months of his 18-month jail sentence.
According
to Vanity Fair, Andrew liked Epstein because he taught him how to
relax. When the prince was warned by an advisor after the court case
that he should distance himself from Epstein, Andrew allegedly screamed:
'Leave me alone. Jeffrey’s my friend. Being loyal to your friends is a
virtue. And I’m going to be loyal to him.’
The
women who recently joined the lawsuit against Epstein were referred to
in court papers as Jane Doe #3 and Jane Doe #4. Jane Doe #3, who makes
the claims about Prince Andrew, Dershowitz and Brunel, has since been
identified as blonde Virginia Roberts, now 30.
The
two women joined a lawsuit filed by two other women, Jane Doe #1 and
Jane Doe #2. All four claim they were enticed into giving sexually
explicit nude massages to Epstein when they were under age.
Jane
Doe #3 — Roberts — says Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew,
Dershowitz and Brunel. She says Epstein knew Andrew through their mutual
friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of the late crooked
publisher Robert Maxwell.
'Perhaps
even more important to her role in Epstein's sexual abuse ring, Maxwell
had direct connections to other powerful individuals with whom she
could connect Epstein,' the suit says.
'For
instance, one such powerful individual Epstein forced Jane Doe #3 to
have sexual relations with was a member of the British Royal Family,
Prince Andrew (a/k/a Duke of York).
'Jane
Doe #3 was forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she
was a minor in three separate geographical locations: in London (at
Ghislaine Maxwell's apartment), in New York, and on Epstein's private
island in the U.S. Virgin Islands (in an orgy with numerous other
under-aged girls),' the suit continues.
Off duty: A detailed 2007 account of
the Epstein case claimed one of Rodriguez's duties was to wash sex toys
that he would find scattered on the floor of Epstein's many houses
The
papers, prepared by lawyers Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell, also
claim Epstein 'trafficked Jane Doe #3 for sexual purposes to many other
powerful men, including numerous prominent American politicians,
powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime
Minister, and other world leaders.
'Epstein
required Jane Doe #3 to describe the events that she had with these men
so that he could potentially blackmail them,' say the attorneys
'Epstein
instructed Jane Doe #3 that she was to give the Prince whatever he
demanded and required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details
of the sexual abuse. Maxwell facilitated Prince Andrew's acts of sexual
abuse by acting as a "madame" for Epstein, thereby assisting in
internationally trafficking Jane Doe #3 (and numerous other young girls)
for sexual purposes.'
Andrew was photographed with his arm around Roberts in 2001, with Ghislaine Maxwell standing next to them.
Both
Andrew and Dershowitz have strenuously denied the allegations and
Rodriguez, who went to jail for refusing to hand over a book of
Epstein's sexual escapades to prosecutors, could have shed more light on
whether the two men were really involved.
