Prince Andrew may have lied about cutting all contact with Jeffrey Epstein after their "final" meeting in 2010. Recently unsealed emails showed the financier touted him as an investor in 2011. The emails cast doubt on whether the Duke of York was being truthful in his 2019 Newsnight interview when he told BBC journalist Emily Maitlis that he never spoke to Epstein again after 2010.
Epstein fought criminal charges of sexual abuse and prostitution of a minor in 2006 and pleaded guilty to one count of solicitating prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18 in 2008. He served his crimes in a work-release program where he was allowed to leave his jail cell during the day to work in his office then return at night.
