The emails between Epstein and an account named “The Duke” on 11 and 12 August 2010 suggest that the American wanted to introduce “A” to a 26-year-old Russian woman, whom Epstein suggests he “might enjoy having dinner with”.<\/p>\n
He says that the woman would be in London in August 2010.<\/p>\n
“The Duke” replies that he would be in Geneva “until the morning of the 22nd but would be delighted to see her” before asking: “Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch.”<\/p>\n
He asks Epstein whether there is “any other information you might know about her that might be useful to know?”<\/p>\n
Epstein replies that “she [is] 26, russian, clevere [sic] beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email”.<\/p>\n
The late financier was convicted in 2008 of soliciting sex from a 14-year-old girl in Florida and completed his sentence in July 2010, a month before the email exchange. The BBC has not been able to independently verify the emails.<\/p>\n
Also among the latest tranche of documents is an email exchange dated 27 September 2010 between Epstein and the account titled “The Duke”. The address itself is redacted.<\/p>\n
Epstein writes that he is in London, adding: “What time woudl [sic] you like me and [redacted], we will also need\/ have private time”.<\/p>\n
“The Duke” replies: “I am just departing Scotland should be down by 1800. I’ll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring. Alternatively we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy. A”.<\/p>\n
Epstein replies: “bp pleease [sic].”<\/p>\n
The emails do not indicate any wrongdoing. The BBC has contacted Mountbatten-Windsor for a response.<\/p>\n
He has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing, and said he did not “see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to” Epstein’s arrest and conviction.<\/p>\n
Mountbatten-Windsor has faced allegations, which he repeatedly denied, that he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre as a teenager after she said she was trafficked by Epstein.<\/p>\n
He paid a financial settlement to Giuffre, who he claims to have never met, to settle a civil sexual assault claim in 2022.<\/p>\n
The newly released email exchanges form part of more than three million pages of documents made public on Friday by the US justice department. <\/p>\n
More than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images are included in the latest batch. Their release comes six weeks after a deadline mandated in a law signed by President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Many of the documents are heavily redacted, with some files showing pages which are entirely blacked-out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The emails between Epstein and an account named “The Duke” on 11 and 12 August 2010 suggest that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-399780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
