“Prince Andrew of the UK Paid $15,000 for Sexual Services... Clinton Likely Knew”
Epstein Documents Fully Released
AP and other foreign media reported on the 10th that the disclosure process of court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, who was imprisoned for sexually exploiting minors and took his own life, was completed on the 9th (local time). The so-called 'Epstein list,' which contains the names of major global figures, also includes allegations that Prince Andrew of the UK received $15,000 (approximately 19.81 million KRW) in exchange for sexual relations.
Epstein was an American billionaire and former hedge fund manager. He was imprisoned in 2019 on charges of sexually exploiting minors and took his own life in prison the same year.
Earlier, on the 20th of last month, Loretta Preska, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, ordered the disclosure of the real names of 150 previously anonymized parties involved in Epstein-related documents. These documents are related to a defamation lawsuit filed in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre, an American woman who was sexually exploited by Epstein, against the daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell. Maxwell was Epstein's girlfriend who assisted in his crimes and is currently serving a prison sentence.
The last document released that day included Giuffre's 2016 testimony stating that Epstein sexually abused her from the age of 17 and arranged for her to have sexual contact with men including Prince Andrew. In her statement at the time, Giuffre revealed that she received $15,000 (approximately 19.81 million KRW) from Epstein in exchange for sexual relations with Prince Andrew. She also claimed that former President Clinton must have been fully aware that underage girls were being sexually abused when he visited Epstein's house.
Previously, Prince Andrew denied all allegations while paying a large settlement related to the civil lawsuit filed by Giuffre.
The name of former U.S. President Donald Trump also appeared. When asked whether Donald Trump, who was a friend of Epstein, knew about these facts, Giuffre responded, "I have never seen Trump there, nor have I seen him participate in such (abusive) behavior." However, she said she had heard that he was a visitor to Epstein's residence.
As Prince Andrew's name appeared on the Epstein list, public opinion in the UK has been boiling with anger. The day before, the republican movement group 'Republic' reported Prince Andrew to the police, and tabloid front pages featured headlines urging a 'cut-off' such as 'Time to Cut Andrew Out' and 'No Return.'

The disclosed 'Epstein list' also includes names such as Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft; Bill Richardson, former governor of New Mexico; Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google; famous magician David Copperfield; and singer Michael Jackson. However, having a name on the list does not necessarily mean involvement in Epstein's crimes.
