In a speech in the US House of Representatives today (September 1), Republican congressman Thomas Massie demanded the associates of Jeffrey Epstein be held accountable
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of committing sex crimes in the US by a congressman during a speech in the US House of Representatives.
Thomas Massie made the comments today (September 1), demanding the associates of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein be held accountable. He said: “We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted.”
Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied wrongdoing over his relationship with Epstein, including strongly denying sexually abusing accuser Virginia Giuffre when she was 17.
Mr Massie also named former Barclays boss Jes Staley and magician David Copperfield alongside the disgraced former prince.
“And Prince Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the United States,” he said. “Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice.”
Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre claimed she was 17 and had been trafficked to him by Epstein.
Ms Giuffre claimed two of those sexual liaisons happened in New York and on the paedophile’s island in the US Virgin Islands.
Jeffrey Epstein, 66, was found dead in his cell at a Manhattan federal jail in August 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
The speech in Congress occurred just 48 hours after it emerged that another woman, who alleges she was flown to the UK by Epstein to engage in sexual activity with Andrew, has had a change of heart about testifying against him.
The Mail on Sunday reported in May that the unidentified woman – who claims she spent a night with the former prince at Royal Lodge in Windsor – was hesitant to lodge a formal complaint with British detectives investigating trafficking allegations because she didn’t want to ‘risk losing her privacy’.
Now, her US lawyer, Bradley Edwards, has disclosed that he has been liaising with UK police after his client shifted from a ‘hard no’ to a ‘maybe’ in terms of assisting the ongoing criminal investigation.
