A U.S. congressional hearing hears allegations that the disgraced former Duke of York, Prince Andrew, committed sex crimes in the United States. The claims are made in connection with the late Jeffrey Epstein and appear as part of efforts to obtain additional material related to Epstein.
According to outlets covering the session, a U.S. representative names Andrew while discussing alleged involvement in Epstein’s activities. One report says Andrew is described using language such as a “co-conspirator,” reflecting the witness or member’s characterization of the former prince’s role. The i and The Independent both link the testimony to a push for further release of Epstein files.
The reporting also indicates that the congressman is advocating for more documents to be released—described in at least one outlet as an additional tranche of records. While the outlets agree on the existence of the allegations and the congressional focus on Epstein-related files, they differ mainly in emphasis and wording, including how Andrew’s alleged role is framed in the hearing.
