Prince Andrew broke his silence for the first time over the weekend and addressed his ties to recently deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a lengthy statement signed by him and issued from Buckingham Palace.
Prince Andrew claimed during his former relationship with Epstein they met “infrequently” and that he had no idea about the financier’s criminal behavior. Court documents say Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at different locations, some as young as 14 years old.
