New Allegations Surface in Epstein Documents
Recent disclosures from the Epstein case files include a woman’s statement to federal investigators accusing Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew of severe abuse. The accuser described being trafficked and mistreated by both men over more than two decades.
The documents, released by the U.S. Justice Department, feature emails, photos, and videos totaling over three million pages. In her 2020 FBI interview, the woman alleged Epstein trafficked her for abuse involving the former royal, occurring in the United Kingdom and France from 1996 to 2018.
Accuser’s Testimony Details Horrific Experiences
The woman recounted Epstein’s control and sexual abuse, noting his close friendship with Andrew, whom she accused of similar actions. She stated: “I have been trafficked to Epstein. He and Andrew have dragged me through hell and back. They tore me and hurt the very soul of me. He became a controller and sexually abused me. He was friends with Andrew, who did the same thing.”
Epstein maintained a residence in Paris, aligning with the locations mentioned in her claims. She also recalled Epstein praising her, saying: “He said I was the nicest person he knew.” Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied all such allegations.
Investigators have not publicly confirmed whether they pursued this woman’s claims further or questioned Andrew about them.
Political Calls for Accountability
Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently emphasized prioritizing Epstein’s victims and urged Andrew to cooperate with inquiries. Starmer stated: “Epstein victims have to be the first priority. As for whether there should be an apology, that’s a matter for Andrew. But yes, in terms of testifying, I have always said anybody who’s got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever forum they’re asked to.” This follows suggestions that Andrew testify before a U.S. House oversight committee examining the financier’s activities.
Disturbing Images and Email Exchanges Emerge
Among the released materials are photographs depicting a man resembling Andrew positioned over a woman on the floor. The images show the individual, dressed in blue jeans, a polo shirt, and no shoes, kneeling with his hand on her stomach while gazing at her body. The context, location, and timing of these photos remain unclear.
Additional emails from early August 2010 reveal Epstein proposing a dinner arrangement for Andrew with a 26-year-old Russian woman named Irina, shortly after Epstein’s prison release. Epstein wrote: “I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with. Her name is Irina she will be London 20-24.”
Andrew responded positively, saying he would be “delighted” to meet her and inquiring: “Will she be bringing a message from you?” Epstein later described Irina as “26, Russian, clevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email.” At the time, Andrew was 50 years old. Portions of the correspondence are redacted, but Andrew expressed frustration in one message: “So many opportunities that I am frustratingly not allowed to participate in. And so many that are obvious but can’t get anyone to fire on.” It is unknown if the proposed meeting occurred.
