Epstein accuser says Prince Andrew should 'come clean'

LONDON (AP) — An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein who claims she was also delivered to Britain's Prince Andrew for paid sex as a teenager has challenged the British royal to speak up, saying: "He knows exactly what he's done and I hope he comes clean about it."

The jet-setting middle son of Queen Elizabeth II was a longtime friend of the financier who killed himself while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. But the prince strenuously denies any knowledge of criminal behavior by Epstein and has described himself as "appalled" by allegations from many women who accused Epstein of sexual abuse.

Among them is Virginia Roberts Giuffre. She has said she was a 15-year-old working at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club when she was recruited to perform sex acts on Epstein. Giuffre said in a sworn affidavit that she was flown on Epstein's private planes to his properties in New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Paris and New York, and said meetings were also arranged for sex in London and elsewhere with Prince Andrew.

Without making specific new allegations against the British royal, Giuffre used a New York court appearance Tuesday to heap more attention on Andrew's links to Epstein.

"He knows what he's done and he can attest to that," Giuffre told reporters outside the courthouse after she and 15 other women testified about abuse they allege they suffered at Epstein's hands.

I favor justice but I, personally, did nothing wrong and I fail to see why I need to be subjected to this. Victims, courts, and prosecutors should do what theynneed to do to Prince Andrew. I don't need to know.

Just airing my disgust.

Generally I don't want this unpleasantness. Why do I need to know?

And she has also said she was first recruited by Epstein's people while working at Mar-A-Lago.

TTBOMK in her court case against Maxwell she admitted she's not sure what age she actually was, this case is the one in which the Employment records came into play.

She also 'worked' for Epstein into her 20's ... and as far as I know doesn't recall her age when she 'slept with' Andrew.

Thus the implication that Andrew slept with a 15 year old proffered here is shady at best.

Just sayin'
