Overview
- The U.S. Department of Justice published low‑resolution images that appear to show a man resembling Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor seated with a young woman on his lap inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, with faces redacted by officials.
- The photos are part of roughly 180,000 images released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and reporters note U.S. authorities typically redact the identities of women they classify as victims.
- An FBI interview report from December 2020 in the same release records a woman abused by Epstein saying she massaged Andrew before he massaged her back, shoulders, waist, and hands while all parties remained clothed.
- The witness also told the FBI Epstein later pushed her against a wall and tried to remove her top in a different room, and the materials include other previously released images and emails tied to Andrew’s known 2010 visit to Epstein’s home.
- Thames Valley Police and partner forces continue an active investigation after Andrew’s February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, with searches at Wood Farm and Royal Lodge, and he remains released pending further inquiries as he denies wrongdoing.
