Will new Epstein probe findings nail Prince Andrew? FBI to share fresh info with victims, more arrests coming
The FBI will soon be sharing new findings in the Jeffrey Epstein probe including fresh information on Prince Andrew with the late billionaire's victims. As per a report by The Mirror, the new information will be provided to the victims of the disgraced financier and will allegedly contain descriptions of all those associated with Epstein, including the Duke of York. Along with the release of new information, more arrests of people who allegedly helped the late billionaire abuse dozens of underage girls are also expected.
It has been said that victims of Epstein will meet US government lawyers before the public announcement and congressional committee hearing next week. The victims’ lawyer Jack Scarola said, “I am aware the Attorney’s Office is meeting Epstein survivors to announce results. The process has been painfully slow but clearly is progressing, so my attitude is one of cautious optimism.”
One of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that he and his “madam” Ghislaine Maxwell pimped her out, has claimed in court documents that when she was just 17 -year-old, she was forced to sleep with Prince Andrew. The prince's name has also popped up in Maxwell's prosecution and he is expected to feature heavily in her 2021 New York trial. But Buckingham Palace has denied all the accusations against the 60-year-old. A palace spokesperson was quoted by The Sun, “Any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue. It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”
This comes after in late October Maxwell’s close friend claimed that the British socialite faces strip search every three hours as authorities fear she might kill herself like Epstein. The convicted sex offender killed himself last year in August while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking charges in Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York. Like him, Maxwell is also awaiting her trial after pleading not guilty to helping Epstein recruit and groom underage girls as young as 14 to engage in sexual activities.
According to reports, Maxwell is behind bars in a 9 feet by 7 feet Brooklyn cell hole after her arrest on July 2 in New Hampshire. Her bail bond has been dismissed as prosecutors argued that she is a flight risk. But her friend, Brian Basham, is trying to get her free. “She is on her own floor and has a very small cell but doesn’t have a table to put her computer on. I’m told by the family that she has a camera in the ceiling and another camera that is 4 feet away from her and they adjust it when she moves about. They were waking her up every three hours to search her and the noise outside her cell with the guards laughing and joking and yelling to each other is very disturbing, so she hasn’t got much sleep. It’s bizarre,” Basham said. The friend has also reportedly launched a 'Get Ghislaine Out’ campaign, claiming that Maxwell has lost a lot of weight since she has not been provided with the vegan diet she follows.
