Disturbing Claims of Coercion
Lisa Phillips, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuses, has made serious allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Duke of York. In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Phillips stated that her friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, was coerced into having sex with Mountbatten-Windsor at Epstein's New York apartment in 2003. According to Phillips, her friend had been traveling with Epstein and was directed to enter a room where Mountbatten-Windsor was present. Despite expressing her reluctance, she was allegedly forced to comply. Phillips described the aftermath, stating that her friend was "traumatized" and left in tears.
Epstein's Manipulative Tactics
Phillips recounted a conversation with Epstein regarding her friend's experience, where Epstein reportedly smirked and stated, “I like to have things on people.” This comment suggests a pattern of manipulation and control that Epstein exercised over his victims. Phillips emphasized that Epstein derived pleasure from instilling fear in his victims, stating, “He liked the fear in our eyes.”
Mountbatten-Windsor's Denial and Legal Troubles
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to these allegations. He was previously arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February 2022, linked to his associations with Epstein. Following his arrest, he spent approximately 11 hours in custody while searches were conducted at his residences, including the Sandringham Estate and Royal Lodge. Mountbatten-Windsor has also faced accusations of sexual encounters with Virginia Giuffre, another Epstein victim, including claims that he had sex with her when she was 17. In 2022, he settled a civil suit with Giuffre for millions of pounds, despite asserting that he had never met her.
Calls for Investigation
Phillips criticized the UK police for not reaching out to her for an interview, suggesting that they could gain valuable insights by speaking with victims. Her statements highlight a broader concern regarding the handling of allegations against high-profile individuals and the need for thorough investigations into their conduct.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
While Phillips's allegations provide a disturbing account of Mountbatten-Windsor's alleged involvement with Epstein, the former prince's legal team has not publicly commented on these specific claims. Additionally, there are discrepancies regarding the extent of Mountbatten-Windsor's connections to Epstein, with some reports detailing multiple instances of his presence in Epstein's social circles, while others focus solely on the allegations made by Giuffre.
