Prince Andrew allegedly 'totally tormented' as his name is set to appear in unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents
Prince Andrew is reportedly in a state of torment as his name is expected to be revealed in an unsealed document related to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims to have been trafficked by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, has fought to release a fresh dossier of information that names 177 high-profile individuals connected to Epstein's crimes. The Duke of York's name is said to be included in the document, causing distress to the royal.
Scandal to reignite in the New Year
The Epstein scandal is set to reignite in the New Year as a batch of court records, including the unsealed document, is expected to be made public. This could potentially expose the Duke of York's association with Epstein and his network of powerful acquaintances, some of whom have not been publicly identified. Sources close to Prince Andrew have expressed concern for his mental wellbeing, stating that he is facing his second Christmas without his mother and now has to deal with his name being dragged through the mud once again.
Release of court documents
Judge Loretta Preska recently unsealed the court documents, which are part of a 2015 civil defamation suit filed by Virginia against Ghislaine Maxwell. Unless there are any appeals, the documents are set to be made public from January 1 onwards. They are expected to shed light on Epstein's trafficking crimes and reveal the extent of his network. The dossier includes unnamed high-profile individuals who were part of Epstein's inner circle, as well as those who spoke publicly about him or testified at Maxwell's trial. Among these documents is information about one of Prince Andrew's accusers, Johanna Sjoberg.
Documents to unveil Epstein's web of connections
The unsealed documents are likely to include emails, legal documents, depositions, and more, providing further insight into Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Several individuals who played a role in Epstein's crimes are expected to be named in the documents. Virginia Roberts has previously stated that she was trafficked to powerful men, including a "Prime Minister," "foreign presidents," and other influential figures. It remains unclear which country the alleged mystery Prime Minister is from. The documents may also reveal the involvement of individuals such as Alan Dershowitz, Jean Luc Brunel, Glenn Dublin, George Mitchell, and Bill Richardson, all of whom deny the allegations.
Epstein's death and Virginia's allegations
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. Virginia Roberts Giuffre has accused Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell of recruiting her as a teenage "sex slave" for Epstein. She claims to have been introduced to Prince Andrew by Epstein and alleges that the royal had sexual relations with her when she was 17, which Prince Andrew vehemently denies. Virginia launched a legal battle against Prince Andrew in 2021, accusing him of sexually abusing her at Epstein's mansion.
