Jeffrey Epstein listed 301 Brit associates including Mick Jagger and Tony Blair in pervert’s ‘little black book’ found by FBI
JEFFREY Epstein listed 301 British associates in a “little black book” of society figures uncovered by the FBI, it was revealed last night.
Among the contacts were celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Tony Blair and Richard Branson – as well as lords and ladies.
There were more than 1,000 numbers and dozens of email addresses between the Brits named in the book belonging to Prince Andrew’s pervert pal, the reported.
New Labour grandee Lord Peter Mandelson – who has 10 numbers, including one marked “direct line” one for “home” and another for “country home” – is also listed.
Prince Andrew has 16 numbers to his name – including a mobile and lines for Balmoral and Sandringham palaces, where he had visited the royal.
Andrew’s ex Sarah Ferguson is also named in the address book – with 18 phone numbers for her.
It’s not suggested that those named in the book committed any wrongdoing – or even met Epstein in person.
ISLAND RAID
The revelation in the FBI’s 2,000-page dossier on Epstein came as agents raided the perv billionaire’s private US Virgin Island, dubbed “paedophile island”, yesterday.
A large group of agents were seen disembarking from speedboats at the pier on the island on Monday morning and driving around on golf carts.
Other officials with “FBI” lettering on display were later seen overlooking the sea from the top of Epstein’s remote luxury home off the coast of St Thomas.
TIES TO UK
US authorities have also vowed to carry on investigating Epstein’s ties to the UK as part of their child sex trafficking probe – amid fears he could have offended overseas.
They are now turning their attention to his associates to track any sick enablers who helped him sexually exploit young girls.
One document is said to describe the “damning things” Epstein’s inner circle did as he abused more than 100 girls from across the world, the Mirror said.
A source told the paper: “The document entails everybody in the Epstein case.
“It has some damning things, including about a number of Brits.”
SUICIDE SHOCK
Epstein, 66, is believed to have hanged himself in a New York jail on Saturday while facing child sex trafficking charges.
He was found dead days after being taken off suicide watch – reportedly at the request of his own lawyers.
The Department of Justice and the FBI have both launched investigations into the sex beast’s death.
His suspected suicide is not thought to have been caught on CCTV and it has emerged that guards did not check on him for several hours.
Epstein’s death – which has sparked intense speculation – came hours after a Manhattan court released a 1,200-page dossier detailing lurid abuse allegations against him.
They were unsealed in a legal tangle between Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s ex-lover — and Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Roberts.

Ms Giuffre has alleged that she was procured by “madame” Maxwell, 57, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, as a teenage “sex slave” for Epstein.
Ms Maxwell, who has gone into hiding, denied all the allegations.
In previous court claims, she alleged she had sex Prince Andrew, 59, when she was flown to London aged 17 by Epstein – which the royal vehemently denies.

ROYAL DENIAL
Buckingham Palace has strenuously denied the allegations.
A palace spokesman said: “Any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.
“It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts.
“Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”
MPs are calling for an investigation into the Duke of York’s relationship with Epstein.
Labour MP Jess Phillips said last night: “I think that, of course, the case must be properly investigated.”
US Attorney General William Barr said yesterday that there were “serious irregularities” at the prison where Epstein died.
He insisted that Epstein’s death would not halt the investigations, adding: “Any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”
