In December 2010, Prince Andrew was photographed taking a casual stroll through New York’s Central Park alongside Jeffrey Epstein—just days after Epstein had completed a 13-month jail sentence for soliciting sex from a minor. The image, captured by a paparazzo and later published globally, showed the Duke of York walking shoulder-to-shoulder with a convicted sex offender, deep in conversation. The...

Women who say they have information about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are reportedly reluctant to speak with British police because they do not trust the UK authorities or the British press to treat them properly. Attorney Brad Edwards, who represents many Jeffrey Epstein survivors, told the BBC that multiple clients have information about the former prince but do not want to cooperate with UK inve...

Lesley Groff was Jeffrey Epstein’s longest-serving and most senior assistant, working for him from 2001 until his 2019 arrest, and the newly examined records place her closer to his daily life than almost anyone else in the Epstein files. Her name reportedly appears more than any other name in the released material, because she handled the machinery of Epstein’s world: calendars, travel, calls, ap...

The released Florida grand jury documents gave the public a rare look at the machinery that helped produce Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called sweetheart deal, and what they showed only made the original handling of the case look worse. The transcripts revealed that the 2006 Palm Beach grand jury heard from only two alleged underage victims, along with law enforcement witnesses, in a proceeding that laste...

The release of the Florida grand jury documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein took years because the records were locked behind Florida’s traditional grand jury secrecy rules, even though the 2006 Palm Beach proceedings had become one of the most controversial points in the entire Epstein saga. Those transcripts mattered because the grand jury process helped produce the weak state-level charges that all...

The battle between JP Morgan and the U.S. Virgin Islands over Jeffrey Epstein became one of the ugliest institutional fights to come out of the Epstein scandal because both sides were effectively accusing the other of enabling him.

Her first big post-trial effort cen...
