Anti-monarchy group report Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to police over new sex trafficking allegations

Further details of the former prince's relationship with the paedophile financier emerged after more than three million papers relating to the late Epstein were made public last Friday.

The files were released by the US Department of Justice alongside the former Duke of York crouching over an unidentified woman on the floor.

Republic said it is alleged Andrew was involved in bringing the victim into the UK for the purposes of sexual exploitation.

The Sexual Offences Act 2003 creates offences related to bringing a person to the UK, travelling within the UK or arranging a person to leave the UK for such purposes.

Graham Smith, head of Republic, spoke to LBC's Shelagh Fogarty about why the report was made.

"I wanted to make sure they had received a report because there's so much discussion about whether or not he should go to the States, whether he should give evidence.

"Talking almost as if he's a witness of Epstein's crimes, when in fact he's allegedly accused of committing crimes himself."

Mr Smith also said the Metropolitan Police has "let down" the victims.

He explained: "The Met have quite frankly let the victims down, they let the country down over the last two decades by just point blank refusing to investigate this.

"I just really wanted to make sure that agai they are put on the spot and told that they need to now investigate a reported crime."

Mr Smith also questioned what the Royal Family knew about the extent of the allegations against Andrew.

"The questions which need to be asked, and they are starting to be asked, which have been very much ignored over the last few months, is what did Charles know and when and what did William know and when and what did the late Queen know and when?

"Because it does not ring through. It's not reasonable to think that they were not fully briefed on all of this before. You know, a lot of this information has been in the hands of FBI."

The day after the document dump, King Charles was urged to contact lawyers representing a woman who claims she was sent by Epstein for a sexual encounter with his brother Andrew.

Royal sources have told The Sun the King has been blindsided by the latest Epstein Files featuring Andrew and was unaware of them before their release.

His Majesty stripped his brother of all titles last October and evicted him from Royal Lodge over his connections to Epstein.

It is understood the Palace is now urging Andrew to work with the US authorities in their investigation into his paedo friend.

The latest documents also show Andrew congratulated Epstein a day after he was freed from house arrest.

He told the child sex offender it was "really really good news" after Epstein’s prison probation ended.

Epstein had been convicted two years earlier for soliciting prostitution from a child under 18 and sentenced to 18 months in jail.
