A former alleged girlfriend of Prince Andrew has blasted claims an underage ‘sex slave’ was forced to sleep with him - saying the Duke is one of the 'most decent' people she knows. Former Playboy model Denise Martell claims she has been a close friend of Andrew since they were first linked in 2000, and is confident Virginia Roberts’ allegations she was forced to have sex with him in the US while aged 17 and working as a masseuse for convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein are fabricated. The scandal – first revealed in US court documents last week, in which Miss Roberts, now 30, claimed she had been forced to have sex with the prince three times between 2001 and 2002 – have been vehemently denied by Buckingham Palace.
