A female dancer has alleged mistreatment resembling that of a “prostitute” by Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein at an event where girls as young as 14 years old were present. The dancer, represented by her lawyer, disclosed that the incident took place in 2006 after being driven to a party at Epstein’s infamous Palm Beach residence. Initially hired as a dancer by Epstein, she claims she was ultimately treated inappropriately.
A letter dated March 23, 2011, part of the three million documents recently released by the US Department of Justice, detailed the dancer’s encounter at the party. She was reportedly led to an upstairs bedroom where she met Andrew, then known as Prince Andrew, Duke of York. According to the lawyer, the dancer was asked to perform for the men and was coerced into engaging in intimate acts despite her refusal.
The attorney, William K Vogeler, stated that the dancer was also subjected to witnessing several scantily clad women at the gathering, some of whom seemed to be underage. Although she was promised a sum of $10,000, she only received $2,000 upon returning to her strip club.
Vogeler mentioned in the letter that his client was considering legal action if necessary, citing breach of contract and various legal claims. He proposed a settlement of a quarter of a million dollars in exchange for confidentiality regarding the alleged incidents.
The documents did not confirm whether the claim was resolved, but Andrew has consistently denied any involvement in illicit activities related to Epstein. Reports have emerged of new allegations suggesting Epstein arranged for a woman to have a sexual encounter with Andrew at Royal Lodge. Thames Valley Police is currently reviewing these claims.
