Playboy Prince's Pedophile Pal

Prince Andrew and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were spotted by England's News Of The World strolling through Central Park shortly after the hooker-loving hedge-fund manager moved back to his $50 million Upper East Side town house. Epstein served an 18-month sentence in Florida for soliciting a 14-year-old minor for prostitution. Epstein, now a registered sex offender, had paid the youngster -- one of a string of girls who allegedly visited him -- $200 for a massage at his Palm Beach retreat. She said he used a vibrator on her while he masturbated. Epstein has since then made 16 out-of-court financial settlements with other girls who had leveled similar sexual allegations against him

But the prince and the pervert's Central Park sojourn was no official business chat between the longtime pals-- following their walk in the park, the pair got down to the business they both apparently prefer -- partying. On his visit to New York City, 51-year-old Randy Andy chilled for four days at Epstein's East 71st Street pad, where the 58-year-old businessman threw his princely pal a bash, featuring NYC celebs such as Katie Couric, Charlie Rose and George Stephanopoulos. Neighbors told the press they witnessed a parade of stunning beauties come calling at Epstein's door during the prince's stay. And once, Andrew was even spotted kissing a long-legged brunette on the doorstep.

The two post-prime playboys share a decade-long history of drinking and debauching, with "Air Miles" Andrew reported enjoying frequent holidays with Epstein. On one trip, Andrew was seen sunbathing with a bevy of topless women off the coast of Thailand. Later that year, a Palm Beach woman claimed she was induced to perform demeaning sexual services for Epstein and had been groped by a visiting Prince Andrew. The prince's decision to keep in touch with Epstein-- appearances be damned -- comes as British press more strongly criticize his taxpayer-funded globetrotting lifestyle and question his past financial dealings.
