Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been reported to police following allegations he was involved in sex trafficking, allegations he denies. It is alleged that the 65-year-old was involved in bringing the woman to the UK for the purposes of sexual exploitation in 2010.
Following the latest release of the Epstein files last week, a second woman – who was in her 20s at the time – has came forward alleging that she was sent to the UK by Epstein. According to the BBC, the woman’s lawyer, Brad Edwards from the US firm Edwards Henderson, claimed that the encounter took place at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
The latest update is the first time that a survivor has claimed an encounter took place at a royal residence.
Campaign group Republic made the report to the police. The group insisted that as the allegations date from 2010, they are covered by the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
The alleged claims made by the late Virginia Guiffre occured in 2001, which have meant that they were not covered by the legislation.
Speaking about Andrew, CEO of Republic Graham Smith said: “The Metropolitan Police [sic] has ignored accusations against Andrew for more than two decades.
“They have brought shame on the police, and have failed victims and the country. Now the police must act. I wanted to be sure that they have no excuse, no reason to ignore this issue.
“So I have reported the alleged crimes myself, to ensure they are reported as crimes committed in the UK, to ensure the police must now respond to a formal report.
“So much talk is about Andrew giving testimony to the US Congress, but he needs to be answering questions in a London police station.
“This isn’t a judgement on his guilt or innocence, it is an insistence that the law treat everyone equally. Anyone else facing such accusations would have been arrested and questioned a long time ago.”
