Britain's Prince Andrew issues new statement to 'clarify' his ties to Epstein

KESWICK, England —Prince Andrew said Saturday that “at no stage” during his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein did he “see, witness or suspect” the behavior that led to Epstein’s arrest and conviction.

In 2008, Epstein was convicted on — and served jail time for — two charges of felony prostitution. Earlier this month, the disgraced American financier was found dead in a New York jail cell where he had been awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

In a statement, Andrew said he wanted to “clarify the facts to avoid further speculation” following the intense interest in his association with Epstein.

“At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction,” he said.

Two years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a prostitute and procuring an underage girl for prostitution.

been called to the summer vacay retreat by Mamma, where they have been trying to figure out how to handle this. When do the royals ever have interviews to explain to discuss their behaviors? Never. But they are trying to outrun this story, and it's not working. The English press are merciless, and since there really is no logical explanation for hanging out at Epstein's place, other than the obvious, with pics. This has been a long time coming

Even though that wouldn't look good either. But every time the issue a statement it just makes it look like he has something to hide.

It reminds me of when Fergie tried to tap dance around the toe sucking incident.
