“Prince Andrew started grinding against her”: New whistleblower delivers bombshell evidence against Prince Andrew
A 72-year-old former employee on Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean island has revealed bombshell evidence against Prince Andrew.

Steve Scully, who claimed to have worked as a telecommunications specialist for almost 7 years in the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender's Caribbean island in the early 2000s, spoke to 7NEWS Spotlight to reveal his alleged encounter with Prince Andrew.
The retiree recalled an encounter with Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre as he spoke from his tropical home in the US Virgin Islands.
“I wish I could have asked her if she was OK,” he remorsefully said.
“Maybe it was because it was Prince Andrew."
“Maybe it was because it was Jeffrey Epstein’s island."
“Maybe it was because we were continuously told, ‘You don’t interact with any of the guests’."
“I don’t know. But I didn’t do that, and I wish I would have.”
The retiree said that for the past two decades, he has been abiding by a strict code of silence maintained by Epstein’s close friends and employees.
However, he said that it is his duty as a father of three daughters to refuse to keep silent any longer and to reveal what he claims he witnessed on the island including the way young girls were treated there.

Rumoured Prince Andrew encounters
Scully claims that among the rich and famous people he encountered on the island, Prince Andrew is allegedly one of them, and Scully alleges he saw Prince Andrew engaging in sexual foreplay with the then-17-year-old girl Virginia Giuffre by a swimming pool on the island.
The former Epstein employee said: “He removed her bathing suit top and then started grinding against her and grabbing her ass."
“They were kissing as well. That’s when I had words with him. I said, ‘Hello, your Highness.’ And he said, ‘No, it’s Andrew.’"
“I said, ‘I didn’t know exactly how I was supposed to address you, but I’m Steve the phone man.’"
“He laughed at that (and) said, ‘Well, Steve the phone man, at least you work in a really beautiful place.’"
“I said, ‘Yeah, the island is beautiful, without a doubt’.”
Accusations and lawsuits
Giuffre, who now lives in Australia, has filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew whom she accuses of sexually abusing her on three occasions when she was just 17.
She claimed that she was a victim of Epstein's sex trafficking scheme, where she was forced to have sex with the Duke of York in London, New York, and on his island in 2001.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied the allegations and has sought to strike out Giuffre's lawsuit, claiming he has never even met her.
Scully has agreed to give sworn evidence against Prince Andrew if Giuffre's civil action proceeds to trial in New York next year, following his travel to Washington DC last month where he was set to be deposed by her legal team.
Scully has also said that he received no financial incentives from anyone for coming forward as a witness and has not been in contact nor has met Giuffre since the day he saw her on Epstein's island almost 20 years ago.
He said that his reason for coming forward is the fact that the alleged encounter has haunted him and that he feels guilty for his failure to protect a young girl in need.
“Virginia was standing there. She kind of looked like she was like a deer caught in the headlights of the car,” Scully says.
“I wish I’d asked her if she was OK."
“If I were to see her again today, I would apologise to her for that, because I honestly think I should have said, ‘Are you alright? Because if you’re not, hey, I’ll take care of whatever needs to be taken care of to get you into an alright situation’.”
Scully's account has the potential to devastate the royal family as his testimony counts as new probable evidence that may prove the long-running sex abuse allegations against Prince Andrew and Jeffery Epstein.
