BBC: Epstein Sent 20-Year-Old to Andrew for Sexual Encounter

A woman has alleged to the BBC, through her lawyer, that Jeffrey Epstein sent her to Prince Andrew for a sexual encounter in 2010, when she was 20 years old. The alleged meeting took place at Andrew's former residence, the Royal Lodge.

The claimant's lawyer, Brad Edwards, claims that after the night with Andrew, his client was offered a tour of Buckingham Palace and tea. "We are talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein to Prince Andrew. And after a night with him, she was even given a tour of Buckingham Palace," he stated.

Andrew's side has not commented on the allegation. The BBC was unable to confirm the woman's visit to Buckingham Palace without revealing her identity.

Brad Edwards represents more than 200 Epstein victims worldwide and also represented Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was sent to London to have sex with Andrew in 2001, when she was 17 years old. Giuffre claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew two more times between 2001 and 2002.

The lawyer also stated that there was communication between his client and Andrew before the meeting. Communications ceased after Andrew's titles were removed by King Charles last October.
