PRINCE ANDREW Tense yesterday. I took $$ from perv: Fergie . Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson yesterday ad- mitted she took cash from pervert billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in a mini-bailout brokered through Prince Andrew's office. Fergie said Epstein — a longtime personal pal of Andrew's — coughed up $24,000 to pay off money owed to a former Sarah as- sistant. Epstein offered his help after speaking to her ex- hubby, who "sorted out my debts," Ferguson said. Prince Andrew is under pressure in Britain to stop palling around with Ep- stein, a Level 3 sex of- fender who was recently sprung from jail. Epstein copped to solic- iting sex from girls as young as 14 and has paid millions to settle lawsuits. Fergie apologized for taking Epstein's cash infu- sion, calling it "a gigantic error of judgment."
