Court Papers Link Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein's Child

Recently released documents on the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein include testimony from Johanna Sjoberg, who alleges that in 2001, Prince Andrew of Britain touched her breast in Epstein’s Manhattan apartment.

These documents, revealing details about over 170 individuals connected to Epstein, were ordered to be made public by US Judge Loretta Preska last month.

The high demand led to the crash of the website hosting the documents. Buckingham Palace has consistently denied the accusations against Prince Andrew, labelling them as “categorically untrue.”

Part of a 2015 US defamation case initiated by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, the documents also feature an e-mail from Epstein to Maxwell, seemingly encouraging her to offer a reward to undermine Giuffre’s claims. The e-mail contains various allegations, including a “Clinton dinner” and unverified claims about Stephen Hawking participating in an underage orgy in the Virgin Islands.

In Sjoberg’s sworn deposition, she claims that Epstein mentioned former President Bill Clinton “likes them young,” referring to girls. Another document reveals Maxwell feeling “out of my depth” and discussing her relationship with Clinton and Prince Andrew after a civil claim was filed against her in 2015.

Court records reveal that during Maxwell’s 2016 videotaped deposition, she insisted that she only recalls seeing Prince Andrew on Epstein’s island once and denies the presence of underage girls, stating that only staff like cooks and cleaners were present. Prince Andrew, who distanced himself from Epstein and settled a civil sexual assault case with Giuffre, vehemently denied all accusations and withdrew from public life.
