Steve Jackson – 7 News Nov 14, 2021
The telephone line crackles and Steve Scully falls silent for a moment.
When he speaks again, his voice is full of remorse.
“I wish I could have asked her if she was okay,” he says.
“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.”

Scully is speaking to 7NEWS Spotlight from his tropical home in the US Virgin Islands.
He is now 72 and retired but, for almost seven years in the early 2000s, he was the telecommunications specialist on Jeffrey Epstein private Caribbean island.
For the past two decades, Scully has been abiding by a strict code of silence maintained by those close to – and employed by – the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender.
But as a father of three daughters, he says he is refusing to keep quiet any longer about what he claims he witnessed on multi-millionaire’s island and the way young girls were treated there.
A royal encounter
The ramifications could hardly be more serious because, among the rich and famous people Scully says he encountered on the island, is Prince Andrew.
He claims he saw the Duke engaging in sexual foreplay with a 17-year-old girl by a swimming pool on the island – and that her name is Virginia Giuffre.
“He removed her bathing suit top and then started grinding against her and grabbing her ass,” he tells 7NEWS Spotlight.
“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 really beautiful place.’
“I said, ‘yeah, the island is beautiful, without a doubt’.”
Accusations and lawsuits
Scully’s account goes to the heart of long-running sex abuse allegations levelled at Prince Andrew and Epstein – and has the potential to devastate the royal family.
Giuffre, who now lives in Australia, has accused Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her on three occasions when she was just 17.
She claims she was compelled to have sex with the Prince by Epstein in London, New York and on his island in 2001, and that she was the victim of sex trafficking.
Prince Andrew has consistently denied the allegations and has sought to strike out a civil lawsuit launched against him by Giuffre, maintaining he has never even met her.
For years, it has been a case of “he said, she said” – but now, all that has changed.
Scully travelled to Washington D.C. last month to be deposed by Giuffre’s legal team, and has agreed to give sworn evidence against Prince Andrew if her civil action proceeds to trial in New York next year.
If Scully’s testimony stands up to legal scrutiny, it could have serious implications for Prince Andrew that would reverberate throughout the royal family.
Speaking to 7NEWS Spotlight on the eve of his deposition, Scully says he has received no financial incentive for coming forward and has not seen nor heard from Giuffre since the day he saw her on Epstein’s island almost 20 years ago.
He says felt compelled to come forward because he is still haunted by his alleged encounter with Prince Andrew and his failure to protect an innocent young teen 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 okay.
“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’.”
Are we living in the fallout of the Epstein business, or is this a continuation of the whole scheme ?
What leverage might the powers that be hope to exact from the British state regarding say China or Ukraine ?
Is this Scully guy a genuine whistleblower or part of the screw tightening blackmail process ?
this speaks of just one girl there were dozens
sarah Evans said on radio she was 15 years old and answered an ad in a magazine for young models
she was quickly passed to gislane maxwell
known to the girls as ” spider woman”
when sarah arrived at pleasure island she was told by maxwell you will go in there and suck off jeffreys cock
if you dont i will have to to do it
and i am damned if i will
i know where its been
sarah said her and the other girls were very afraid
I think the account if true, gets Andrew off the hook. Sounds consensual & in most places around the world, 17 is above the age of consent. I suppose two powerful sheeple (either sex) forced Giuffre into a bikini and frog marched her to the poolside. Giuffre is a gold digger. If Andrew were a real predatory sex maniac, surely there’d be queues of women telling their stories to the fake news?
As to the Royal family, I detest them. I think Andrew has been party to plenty of corrupt trade deals & has been on the take most of his adult life. At least Harry (not Charles’s son) has got out, even if he was saved by a CIA asset. Off-topic to some extent, at least the Queen won’t be around for much longer.
There are dozens of other girls but as soon as you speak gagging orders are put on by corrupt ;lawyers aame as happened with greville janner and young boys
if virginia wins, others will have the courage to speak out
Omega magazine had an interview with a pretty little 14 year old
just before her 15th birthday who was taken to the epstien island,
supposedly for a film part but for epsteins pleasure
now that is disgusting, vu=irginia gustrie was a gorgeous looking girl
had it been just one ok, but andrew is in the frame for over a dozen
never any upper class scum will see jail !
maybe a house arrest but no more .
You just knew, one day this whole mess would see the light of day and it was definitely going to get really ugly. The Prince and the Royal Family is going to lose alot of England’s money. He may just be a long line of overly rich individuals that thought they were above the law.
As @Carl Jones says, if Andrew is as portrayed, where are the armies of claimants? This is the US, where they reach for a lawyer at the drop of a hat.
On the other hand, could it be that the one we hear so much about is a plant, intended to be defeated? That would then lay the whole thing to rest – thus concealing the fact that he IS a pervert.
I don’t really care either way whether or not randy ponce Andy screwed any one particular under-age female. That entire family is scum, but nothing will ever come of it. I’m surprised VG is even still alive.
Revelations about ponce Charlie’s poofterism went down the memory hole fairly quickly.
Queer Liz(ard) itself has been repeatedly accused of crimes including murder and use of adrenochrome, both in Canada and in the jewnited queerdom.
Her husband is said to have been far from “saintly”.
Diana Spencer was disposed of when she developed a conscience.
They’re all as corrupt as it’s possible to be, but the controlled press and the controlled courts will never lift a finger against any of them.
The “ no, it’s Andrew” was enough for me. Baloney.
If Andrew were in so deep, the Deep State would’ve taken him out years ago.
Was that photograph taken of the Windsor trash and the girl taken with future blackmail possibilities in mind….
Who took the photograph of the Windsor dope.?.
Don’t worry about it, nothing will happen to him, just like nothing happened to Epstein, as he’s now living in Israel or on some tropical island..
The problem we have with Andrew is that no British political party wants to be the sitting government if the monarchy gets seriously damaged by scandal, meaning the British government of the day is open to blackmail for anything this creep might have done. Maybe they would join in an ill-advised war to prevent the monarchy’s exposure in something very seedy like under-age sex which could bring it down?
This comes at a time America wants war against Russia or China, which would lead to war against both. In the US the unconstitutional Covid mandates are supported by the courts when appealed against, which suggests powerful players there now own the law. The law which now threatens Andrew.
She was over the age of consent, and she got paid off previously. How many repeat trips to the trough can one ho make? (Also, the statutes of limitation have been unconstitutionally eviscerated. I’ve you’ve acquired money, any gold digger from the 80s can come back and sue you now, AND criminally prosecute you if she gives the state attorney a blowjob or three, claiming you raped her then, about halfway through your nine month relationship. Pay up suckers!
R.C.
Praising the Windsors with faint damnation.
at least gislane maxwell is in prison
myself and other 10 to 13 year olds were given coca cola drinks
which were spiked then stripped in a brighton hotel
where we were autioned off for sex.
Because the perverts were jews and part of grevile janners crowd
which included The amazing james randi yuri geller MP clement freud and others
they got away with it.
WE would hear of boys from other cars homes also being auctioned off for sex
these sick bastards got away with it
we know some boys who kept talking just disappeared.
it still makes me sick every day 30 years after
Donald Trump is friends with Jeffery Epstein.
