Epstein Survivor Demands Former Royal Figure Be ‘Brought to Justice’ in US Amid New File Releases

In a major development tied to the ongoing unravelling of the Jeffrey Epstein network, a survivor of the financier’s abuse is publicly urging that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, be compelled to face accountability in the United States.

The appeal comes as thousands of previously sealed documents are released under a new US law, intensifying scrutiny of high-profile figures connected to Epstein’s criminal enterprises.

Marina Lacerda, who survived exploitation by Jeffrey Epstein beginning in her early teens, has called for Mountbatten-Windsor to be “brought to justice” in the US after newly unsealed documents revealed potential links between him and individuals in Epstein’s circle.

Lacerda, now based in the United States, said that despite longstanding denials by Mountbatten-Windsor, justice must be pursued, especially in light of allegations first made by Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser who died earlier in 2025. Giuffre’s lawyer also criticised those who accepted years of denials from Mountbatten-Windsor and others.

The unsealed records, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, include previously unknown communications that suggest Mountbatten-Windsor may have asked an associate of Epstein to arrange meetings with “inappropriate friends,”

an exchange that has drawn fresh attention to his past associations. These revelations come as some lawmakers in the US are pressing for even more details to be released from the trove of files.

Mountbatten-Windsor’s fall from public regard has been marked by significant symbolic actions: in late 2025, he was stripped of his royal titles and honours by King Charles III, and he was notably absent from the British royal family’s Christmas service. Despite these developments, he has not publicly commented on the latest file disclosures nor on calls for US accountability.

Meanwhile, political figures in the United States have demanded greater transparency and explanations from the Justice Department, which is still working through the massive release of Epstein-related documents, some of which remain heavily redacted. Survivor advocates continue to decry these redactions as obstacles to true accountability.

The current controversy reflects broader tensions over how the Epstein network’s powerful connections are examined and held to account, particularly when allegations involve figures with longstanding prominence and influence.

As additional records continue to emerge, pressure is likely to grow on both US authorities and Mountbatten-Windsor himself to address unresolved questions about his involvement and knowledge of the broader criminal enterprise.
