Police are urging a woman who claims Jeffrey Epstein sent her to the UK for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 2010 to come forward. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as the former prince is now known, was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office (MIPO).
Investigation Details
Thames Valley Police have contacted the woman's lawyers and the US Department of Justice to obtain original documents from the Epstein files as part of their wider inquiry. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright stated that the 'door is always open' for Epstein's victims to engage with investigators, acknowledging the complexity and international scrutiny of the inquiry.
Key Questions
Police are assessing whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's former role as a UK trade envoy, which he held from 2001 to 2011, amounts to public office for the MIPO investigation. The woman's cooperation is considered crucial to advancing the case.
Authorities emphasize that all victims of Epstein are encouraged to speak with investigators, regardless of the time elapsed since the alleged incidents.
