LONDON — Law enforcement officials in Britain issued a public appeal Friday for witnesses to come forward as part of their ongoing investigation into alleged criminal conduct by former Prince Andrew, with sexual misconduct among the potential charges being examined.
Thames Valley Police confirmed they have established communication with legal representatives of a woman who claims she was brought to a Windsor location in 2010 for sexual activities.
“Should she wish to report this to police it will be taken seriously and handled with care, sensitivity and respect for her privacy,” police said in a statement.
A Florida-based lawyer named Brad Edwards informed the BBC in January that his client had a sexual encounter with the former royal family member, who now goes by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, at his Windsor residence. Edwards stated his client was trafficked there by the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.
The former prince has consistently rejected any claims of wrongdoing related to the accusations made against him.
