Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly touched a 17-year-old girl’s chest while inspecting a lineup of girls at a gathering in Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion, according to a woman. Caroline Kaufman, now 32, described the atmosphere as akin to a “meat market” at the late Epstein’s residence, where all girls were instructed to wear matching black dresses to impress Andrew.
The incident, deemed “creepy” by Kaufman, reportedly occurred during Andrew’s visit in December 2010. Kaufman claimed Andrew was captured in a photograph leaning over a young woman on the floor during the same visit. Despite persistent denials of any misconduct in relation to his association with Epstein, Andrew stated in a 2019 interview that he traveled to New York that year to sever ties with Epstein following the latter’s 2008 conviction for child sex offenses.
Kaufman, who previously alleged she was assaulted by Epstein, has urged Andrew to testify in court. She recounted feeling uncomfortable during the 2010 encounter, noting Andrew’s regal demeanor. Kaufman reiterated her stance after US investigators released numerous documents tied to Epstein, accusing Andrew of possessing more knowledge than he admits.
According to Kaufman, she visited Epstein’s mansion under the impression of a photoshoot opportunity but found herself at a black-themed party instead. Feeling unsettled by the unfolding events, Kaufman described the mansion’s ambiance as “seedy” and revealed that attendees were coerced into wearing specific attire. She also claimed Andrew selectively interacted with attendees and touched her chest as he approached her, only to retreat upon learning she was 17 years old.
Expressing surprise at the behavior exhibited by a member of the Royal family, Kaufman disclosed that she was subsequently taken upstairs and sexually assaulted by Epstein. Her legal representatives have threatened to personally serve Andrew with legal documents and have called for all witnesses to come forward.
