Newly released documents from the Epstein investigation reveal a woman’s allegations against Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. The accuser approached the FBI in 2020, claiming Epstein trafficked her for abuse by the former royal between 1996 and 2018 in locations including the UK and France.
Accuser’s Detailed Testimony
The woman described severe trauma in her statement to federal investigators. She alleged that Epstein and Andrew subjected her to prolonged abuse, stating, “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.”
Investigators noted Epstein’s ownership of a Paris apartment, where some incidents reportedly occurred. The accuser recounted how Epstein initially praised her, saying, “He said I was the nicest person he knew,” before the abuse escalated.
Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied all such claims. Details on whether the FBI pursued this testimony further or questioned Andrew remain unclear.
Political Response and New Evidence
Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized prioritizing Epstein’s victims during recent comments. He suggested Andrew testify before a US House oversight committee, stating, “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.”
The document release also includes disturbing photos showing a man resembling Andrew positioned on all fours over a woman lying on the floor. In one image, the man, dressed in jeans and a polo shirt without shoes, places his hand on her stomach while kneeling. The location and date of these images are unknown.
Emails Reveal Post-Prison Contact
Additional emails from early August 2010 expose Epstein arranging a dinner for Andrew with a 26-year-old Russian woman named Irina shortly after his 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, then 50, responded positively, saying he would be “delighted” to meet her and asking, “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.”
Portions of the emails are redacted, but Andrew expressed frustration, noting, “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 uncertain if the dinner occurred.
These revelations stem from over three million pages of documents, emails, photos, and videos made public by the US Justice Department.
