Epstein and Ms Andersson-Dubin remained friends after breaking up and, in 1994, she married another moneyed financier, Glenn Dubin, with whom she had three children.
On Friday, Ms Andersson-Dubin was asked by one of Maxwell's attorneys if she had ever been in a group sexual encounter with Jane.Asked if she had ever been in a group sexualised massage of Epstein with Jane, she responded: “I have not.” As the Dubin children — including two daughters — grew up, they sometimes joined their parents on flights with Epstein, Ms Andersson-Dubin said.
