FBI Documents Detail Massage Exchange Between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein Victim
Newly released FBI documents have revealed disturbing details about an encounter between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and a Brazilian woman who was abused by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents, released as part of the US Department of Justice's document dump related to Epstein, describe a reciprocal massage session that took place at Epstein's New York residence.
Shocking Encounter in Epstein's Kitchen
The woman, whose identity has been redacted in the December 2020 document, told FBI investigators she was "quite shocked to see him" when she entered Epstein's kitchen and found Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor present with another young woman. According to her testimony, Epstein immediately suggested she give Andrew a massage, praising her skills to the former royal.
The document states: "Epstein told Prince Andrew that (redacted) was good at massages. Epstein asked (redacted) to massage Prince Andrew's shoulders and back." The woman complied, massaging Andrew's back while Epstein briefly left the room, returning with a camera.
Reciprocal Massage and Subsequent Assault
After receiving the massage, Andrew then offered to massage the woman in return. According to the FBI document, "Prince Andrew massaged (redacted) back, shoulders, waist, and hands" while everyone remained fully clothed throughout the exchange.
The encounter took a darker turn immediately afterward when Epstein took the woman to a different room. The document reveals: "Epstein then pushed her against the wall trying to take her top off." When she resisted, Epstein allegedly told her she "could do well in London" and suggested her marriage was "boring," proposing they "could do things together."
Broader Context of Epstein Connections
This revelation comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's relationship with Epstein. Last month, the former duke was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations he shared sensitive information with the paedophile financier while serving as the UK's trade envoy from 2001 to 2011.
Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding his connections to Epstein but has not directly addressed these latest allegations. He spent approximately eleven hours in police custody in February as authorities conducted searches at his Sandringham Estate home in Norfolk and his former residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor.
The timing of the alleged massage incident remains unclear from the documents, but its emergence adds to a growing collection of evidence about Epstein's operations. A separate document in the Epstein files appears to show Andrew touching a fully-clothed woman's abdomen in another photograph.
Political Implications and Ongoing Investigation
Some Members of Parliament have suggested Epstein may have influenced Andrew's appointment as trade envoy, raising serious questions about vetting procedures and national security. Andrew stepped down from his diplomatic role in 2011 amid mounting controversy over his friendship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
The FBI documents provide firsthand accounts from victims that continue to shed light on Epstein's extensive network and the powerful individuals who frequented his properties. As investigations continue on both sides of the Atlantic, these revelations underscore the lasting impact of Epstein's crimes and the ongoing quest for accountability among those associated with him.
