'Virginia Giuffre was telling truth', second Epstein victim speaks against Andrew

A second victim of Epstein has come forward and spoken against former Duke of York Andrew, saying "Virginia Roberts Giuffre was telling the truth.”

In conversation with the Telegraph, Jess Michaels has also accused the Palace of "protecting" Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Michaels was a professional dancer in New York when she was assaulted, the report claims.

Michaels tells the publication, "Six years ago, the Palace knew Andrew wasn't just a problem, he could face a criminal investigation. And they sat on it."

She argued the Palace's failure to investigate allegations against Andrew reflected a broader failure to support victims, including Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide last year.

The Epstein victim said about Giuffre, "Protecting him meant doubting her," adding "Virginia Roberts Giuffre was telling the truth, and she didn't live to see them admit it. That breaks my heart and it should break everyone's.

"This is what institutions do. They protect powerful men and leave the people they harmed to carry it."

Jess Michaels further claimed that she spent a night with Andrew at Royal Lodge in Windsor before receiving tea and a tour of Buckingham Palace the following day.

Moreover, the BBC had reported the woman was allegedly sent to Britain by Epstein with Andrew.

It is to be mentioned here that Jess Michaels became the second woman to make allegations against Andrew following Giuffre.
