Another victim who claims to have been sexually assaulted by the former Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has come forward with her own account, and it happened at Royal Ascot, many years ago.

She spoke about this with The Telegraph and is named Jess Michaels.

According to the outlet she admitted, “six years ago, the Palace knew Andrew wasn’t just a problem; he could face a criminal investigation. And they sat on it.”

“Protecting him meant doubting her,” she explained. “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.”

Before concluding she also said, “this is what institutions do. They protect powerful men and leave the people they harmed to carry it.”

For those unversed with the circumstances currently enveloping the ex-Yorks, here is the breakdown. Sarah Ferguson has gone into hiding and is said to remain there unless an opportunity 'too good to pass up' comes her way.

As for what got her into this in the first place, it began once the details of her personal life and friendship with Jeffrey Epstein came to the forefront due to the DOJ's decision to release the Epstein Files.

Andrew faces something similar, and its connected to the reasons he got his titles, his dukedom and his honors revoked, which is his connection to the same financer.

Furthermore, was the allegation that he engaged in misconduct while in public office, as a Trade Envoy to the UK that he even wound up arrested over. Some say during this time he even shared information with Epstein.
