Virginia Giuffre, the lady who claimed Prince Andrew sexually molested her, is now accused of assaulting a Jeffrey Epstein alleged victim.

Ms Giuffre, 38, allegedly groped Rina Oh, 43, without her consent at a Manhattan townhouse owned by the paedophile billionaire in 2001, according to Rina Oh.

Speaking to the New York Post, she said: ‘I went into the massage room and [Giuffre] touched me without my consent; she sexually abused me.’

She added: ‘I was standing there, frozen like a deer. I did not move. I was in shock. I felt mortified and was uncomfortable.’

According to a court document filed in New York, Ms Oh alleges that Ms Giuffre ‘and other females sexually assaulted [Oh] while Epstein watched’.

It goes on to allege that Ms Giuffre was used by the disgraced financier to ‘groom and bring many more girls to Epstein, including minors as an adult’.

Ms Giuffre, who recently accepted millions of pounds as part of a settlement with the Duke of York, denies the allegations.

Her attorney, Kat Thomas, told the Post: ‘The allegations of sexual assault against Ms Giuffre are not true.’

Ms Oh has described being introduced to Epstein in 2000 while on ‘the rebound from a relationship that had just ended’.

While accepting she once referred to him as her ‘rich, older boyfriend’, she now insists she was in fact one of his many sex abuse victims.

Ms Giuffre filed a counterclaim saying she had been ‘the victim of the sadomasochist sexual play and physical abuse perpetrated against her by Ms Oh’.

She claims they included ‘cutting, slashing and other physical injuries during the sadomasochist sessions that have left (her) with permanent emotional and physical scars’.

Ms Oh told the Post: ‘I never heard of anyone doing anything like that during my involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

‘I am not that kind of person. I am afraid of needles and faint when my blood gets taken.’

Ms Giuffre agreed to a financial settlement with Prince Andrew, reportedly worth up to £12 million, to conclude her civil sexual assault lawsuit.

She said that when she was 17, the Duke had sex with her and that she was trafficked by his acquaintance Epstein.

Andrew has consistently disputed the charges, claiming that he has no memory of ever meeting Ms Giuffre.

He did not take any responsibility as part of the settlement, but he did admit that Ms Giuffre had been abused.
