A fresh accuser has emerged in the Jeffrey Epstein case, alleging severe abuse by the convicted sex offender and Britain’s Prince Andrew. Newly released documents from U.S. Justice Department files, totaling over three million pages including emails, photos, and videos, detail her claims of being trafficked and exploited over two decades.
Accuser’s Detailed Testimony
The woman provided a statement to the FBI in 2020, claiming Epstein trafficked her for abuse between 1996 and 2018 in locations including the United Kingdom and France. Epstein, who owned a property in Paris, reportedly subjected her to control and sexual abuse during this period. She described her close ties to both Epstein and Prince Andrew, whom she accused of similar mistreatment.
In her testimony, 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.”
She also recounted how Epstein initially praised her, saying: “He said I was the nicest person he knew.” Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied all such allegations against him. Authorities have not disclosed whether the FBI pursued further investigation into these specific claims or confronted the prince with them.
Government Response
Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized prioritizing Epstein’s victims during a recent statement. He suggested Prince Andrew should cooperate with a U.S. House oversight committee investigating the financier.
Starmer remarked: “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.”
Disturbing New Images
The document release also included photographs depicting a man resembling Prince Andrew in a compromising position. The images show an individual, dressed in blue jeans, a polo shirt, and no shoes, positioned over a woman lying on the floor. In one shot, his left hand rests on her stomach as he kneels and gazes downward. The location and timing of these photos remain unclear.
2010 Email Correspondence
Additional revelations from the files involve emails from early August 2010, shortly after Epstein’s release from prison. In the exchange, Epstein proposed arranging a dinner for Prince Andrew with a 26-year-old Russian woman named Irina, describing her as “clever, beautiful, trustworthy.”
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.” Prince Andrew, then 50, responded positively: “I would be delighted to see her,” and inquired: “Will she be bringing a message from you?”
Later, Epstein added details about Irina, noting she had Prince Andrew’s email address. Portions of the emails are redacted, but the prince 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.
