Epstein survivors back Thames Valley Police in Andrew court battle

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 11:43 · Archive

Jeffrey Epstein survivors have expressed support for Thames Valley Police as the force battles Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over unlawfully obtained evidence.

Jeffrey Epstein survivors have expressed support for Thames Valley Police as it faces a High Court challenge from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The former Duke of York is disputing whether evidence obtained during raids of two of his properties can be used in the criminal investigation into him, after police acknowledged the search warrants used were unlawful.

A group of Epstein survivors issued a statement in support of the force. "For decades, powerful people have hidden behind wealth, influence, silence, and delay," they said. "We express our profound gratitude to Thames Valley Police for their outstanding work in the United Kingdom and internationally, and for their commitment to pursuing justice. We stand firmly with them."

The signatories included women from the Survivor Sisters group, which Virginia Giuffre was part of. They stressed that police must be free to follow evidence without fear or favour, and quoted a statement issued by the King following Andrew's arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing over his links to Epstein.
