A recent collection of documents made public by the Department of Justice provides emails that suggest Jeffrey Epstein may have had an undisclosed child.
On January 30, a significant release occurred, consisting of about three million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender.
Epstein is notorious for his associations with numerous wealthy and influential figures, and many notable individuals are mentioned in these newly available documents. It must be stressed that being named or photographed in these files does not indicate involvement or awareness of Epstein’s criminal activities.
The documents include names ranging from celebrities to political figures, with US president Donald Trump mentioned multiple times and former US president Bill Clinton also appearing. However, neither Trump nor Clinton has faced accusations of criminal activity regarding their links to Epstein.
Amidst the document release, one particular email stands out due to its peculiar nature.
This email hints at the existence of a ‘secret child’ belonging to Epstein, which had not been publicly acknowledged.
An email dated September 21, 2011, seems to show Sarah Ferguson, the former spouse of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—who lost his titles the previous year—offering her congratulations to Epstein on the birth of a baby boy.
“Don’t know if you’re still on this bbm but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” reads the email from the recently released batch.
She continues: “Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship, and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx.”
A subsequent email from what appears to be the same chain has Ferguson seemingly accusing Epstein of befriending her solely to get closer to Andrew.
“You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a baby. It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew,” the email stated.
“And that really hurt me deeeply [sic]. More than you will know.”
This release follows the posthumous release of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir.
Giuffre alleged being trafficked by Epstein at the age of 17 and forced into sexual encounters with Andrew. She had been a prominent advocate for justice for Epstein’s victims before her death by suicide.
Andrew has consistently refuted these allegations.
Newly released images show Andrew crouching above an unidentified woman who is lying on the floor, as part of the latest batch of documents.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche commented on the document release, stating: “Today’s release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance.”
In 2019, Epstein was discovered deceased in his jail cell.
