A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein has accused Buckingham Palace of covering up the actions of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Jess Michaels, who was sexually assaulted by Epstein in 1991 when she was 22 years old, claimed the institution had failed to act on evidence that he had leaked confidential government information.
Speaking to The Telegraph, she accused the Palace of “protecting” Mr Mountbatten-Windsor after it had received emails six years ago showing that he had shared sensitive government information with a business contact while he was a trade envoy.
“Six years ago, the Palace knew Andrew wasn’t just a problem; he could face a criminal investigation. And they sat on it,” Ms Michaels said in a statement to The Telegraph.
Ms Michaels, who was a professional dancer in New York City when Epstein assaulted her, added that the failure to act had wider moral consequences for survivors and others connected to the case.
