Sarah Ferguson used thousands of pounds supplied by convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to pay off debt - and said she "abhor[red] sexual abuse of children".

The Duchess of York struck a deal with the disgraced financier, which came to light in 2011 after he had already spent time behind bars for soliciting a 14-year-old girl for prostituted sex.

Epstein, who was found dead in a jail cell in August this year, had paid £15,000 to Sarah's former personal assistant Johnny O'Sullivan to cover part of his unpaid salary.

At the time, Sarah was some £5million in debt and owed her ex-PA £78,000 in wages and bills, but was able to restructure her debts after he agreed to take the £15,000.

The duchess, who shares two adult daughters - Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie - with ex-husband Prince Andrew, told the Evening Standard when the scandal broke: "I deeply regret Jeffrey Epstein became involved in any way with me.

"I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf."

She went on: "I am just so contrite I cannot say. Whenever I can I will repay the money and will have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again.

"What he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed.

"This is the first time ever in my life, and I mean 'ever', that I have been debt-free. It allows me to go forward to do what I do, being a good mother, a philanthropist for children and also an author of children's books.

It is so rare to meet people that are able to speak from their hearts with honesty+pure real truth, that remain steadfast and strong to their beliefs. Andrew is a true+real gentleman and is stoically steadfast to not only his duty but also his kindness + goodness

They deserve each other

Witnesses abound to the 'alibi'

I guess he's never had anyone to answer to so he's not well versed in lying, anyway his pantomime was so utterly void of any decent actors that he may as well have just signed a confession and thrown himself in the sea.

Johnny Carson called it years ago
