London/Washington. The cases related to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have once again created a stir in the British royal family and the corridors of international power. Marina Lacerda, one of Epstein’s victims, has openly demanded that former royal member Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) be summoned to the US for questioning and “brought to justice”. This demand has come at a time when the new Epstein documents released by the US Justice Department have again brought the old allegations into the limelight.
Marina Lacerda, who is originally from Brazil and now lives in the US, said that many influential people associated with the Epstein network have so far escaped the law. “This is not just about one person. There are many powerful people who have not been held accountable to date. Mountbatten-Windsor must also be brought to justice,” he said. Late Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Brad Edwards has also given a sharp reaction in this matter. He said those who previously believed the denials of Mountbatten-Windsor or Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell “should be ashamed.” Edwards called Giuffre “extraordinarily courageous” and said her views were ignored for years.
Virginia Giuffre alleged that she met Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and sexually assaulted her in 2001, when she was just 17 years old. Andrew always denied these allegations, although in 2022 he reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre. The issue became even more sensitive after Giuffre’s suicide in April 2025. Recently released documents have revealed emails in which Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly asked Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell to arrange “inappropriate friends”. The e-mails also described “friendly, secretive and fun” girls.
