Jeffrey Epstein's victims may put their attention to Prince Andrew and sue the Duke of York after they receive compensation from the criminal sex offender's estate. Lawyers of the pedophile's victims, including the 60-year-old royal's accuser Virginia Roberts, made it clear that any agreement with the disgraced financier would not let "certain individuals" free from any potential liability.
According to The Sun, in the email of David Boies, who represents Virginia Roberts, he cleared that the specific individual they were saying included Prince Andrew or other people to whom their "clients were trafficked." The lawyer elucidated that Sarah Ferguson's former husband would not be safe from any legal liabilities despite the settlement.
"I am now in agreement that we should move forward with the claims process," he said. The victims who would receive their compensations would have a "space to make clear that certain individuals are not released." It only means that if the victims receive their payments, which can be millions of pounds, they can still go after Prince Andrew.
These new emails just revealed the latest explosive twist in Jeffrey Epstein's scandal, which were now part of court documents filed in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The victims' lawyers are currently negotiating with the estate executors of the convicted felon, who died of suicide in jail in August last year.
To recall, Virginia Roberts claimed that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie's father for sex three times when she was a teenager. The duke repeatedly denied the accusation but unable to explain why he had a photo with her in 2001. In a statement, he told that he was much dismayed upon learning Jeffrey Epstein's "alleged crimes," adding that he never saw or suspected any behavior that led to his arrest during their time together.
Meanwhile, Prince Andrew joined his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, to pack bags of necessities for the hospital frontliners amid the coronavirus outbreak. As this seemed to show Andrew's return to the limelight after his early retirement following Jeffrey Epstein scandal, royal expert Angela Mollard and Zoe Burrell analyzed that he seemed to cautiously return to work to be involved in the pandemic effort.
Mollard revealed in an episode of Royals podcast, via Express, that the photos were posted by the Duchess of York's assistant in a "careful ploy" so that Prince Andrew would not look "self-congratulating."It was the first time that the public saw Prince Andrew again after his controversial interview last year.
The Yorks are now living together and doing a lot of charity works to help those who work in the frontline. From the looks of it, although it was Sarah Ferguson's assistant who uploaded their snaps together, the children's book author wanted it to be seen to show Prince Andrew's involvement and work.
