Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case have unveiled a fresh accusation against Prince Andrew, with a woman alleging abuse by both the royal and the convicted sex offender. The files, part of a massive U.S. Justice Department disclosure exceeding three million pages of emails, photos, and videos released on Friday, include a 2020 FBI statement from the accuser.
Accuser’s Detailed Testimony
The woman claims Epstein trafficked her for abuse spanning from 1996 to 2018, occurring in locations including the United Kingdom and France, where Epstein owned a Paris apartment. In her statement to the FBI, she described the ordeal vividly, stating, “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.”
She further recounted how Epstein initially praised her, saying, “He said I was the nicest person he knew.” Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied all such allegations. Authorities have not disclosed whether the FBI investigated these claims further or confronted Andrew with them.
Disturbing Images Surface
The document release also features provocative photographs showing a man resembling Prince Andrew positioned on all fours over a woman lying on the floor. In the images, the individual—dressed in blue jeans, a polo shirt, and no shoes—appears to kneel with his left hand on her stomach, gazing over her body. The location and timing of these photos remain unclear.
Emails Reveal Post-Prison Arrangement
Additional emails from early August 2010 highlight Epstein’s efforts to arrange a dinner for Andrew with a young woman shortly after his prison release. Epstein wrote to Andrew, “I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with. Her name is Irina; she will be in London 20-24.” Andrew responded positively, expressing delight and inquiring, “Will she be bringing a message from you?”
Epstein described the woman as “26, Russian, clever, beautiful, trustworthy, and yes, she has your email.” At the time, Andrew was 50 years old. Portions of the correspondence are redacted, and it is uncertain if the meeting occurred. Andrew also vented frustration in the exchange, 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.”
Starmer Calls for Testimony
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized prioritizing Epstein’s victims during recent comments, suggesting Andrew testify before a U.S. House oversight committee investigating the financier. 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.”
