Prince Andrew, Mandelson Linked to Epstein in New Photos

0:00On March 15th, a new allegation has surfaced against Prince Andrew from a woman named Caroline Kaufman, who claims that when she was 17, he touched her chest inappropriately during a party at Jeffrey Epstein's New York mansion. She says she was lured there under the pretense of a modeling photo shoot. Kaufman alleges that Epstein raped her shortly after the encounter upstairs. Kaufman, now 32, detailed the incident in a lawsuit filed in 2020, saying she was recruited as 16 by one of Epstein's associates and taken to his multi-million dollar home on the upper east side. There, she claims she was photographed nude, then sent to Epstein in a bikini for what turned into an assault. She received $500 afterward and was warned not to speak out. The claims have caused distress for Kaufman, who says she endured severe emotional trauma and fear. Prince Andrew denies any wrongdoing. Meanwhile, Epstein's associate, Galein Maxwell, is implicated in escorting her to the room.
