"What would anyone think it is a very disturbing image and very worrying allegations, and as the prime minister said all of our thoughts need to be with those women who were the victims of what Epstein and his associates were doing. And the way that we can help those victims is for anybody who has any insight or information about what went on to come forward and testify. We need to shine a light on what has happened."
"Firstly, I have always approached this question with the victims of Epstein in mind. Epstein's victims have to be the first priority. As for whether there should be an apology, that's a matter for Andrew. But yes, in terms of testifying, I have always said anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that. You can't be victim-centred if you're not prepared to do that."
The US Department of Justice released files that include an image of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor clothed, on all fours, over a woman lying supine. Housing secretary Steve Reed described the image as very disturbing and urged anyone with insight or information to come forward and testify, emphasizing support for victims and the need to shine a light on events. Mountbatten-Windsor has denied all wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Epstein's victims must be the first priority, suggested Mountbatten-Windsor should testify before the US Congress, and noted that any apology is a matter for Andrew. Documents suggest Epstein proposed arranging a dinner for Mountbatten-Windsor a month before a Buckingham Palace invitation.
