Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network have repeatedly called on Prince Andrew to cooperate with law enforcement and formally speak with investigators about his relationship with Epstein. After Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, several women who said they were abused within Epstein’s network publicly urged the Duke of York to assist investigators examining the broader operation. Their calls intensified after Prince Andrew acknowledged in interviews that he had remained in contact with Epstein even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. Survivors and their advocates argued that anyone who had spent significant time with Epstein—particularly someone photographed with Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and closely associated with Epstein’s social circle—should provide testimony to help authorities understand how the trafficking network operated and who may have been involved.

Despite those repeated appeals, Prince Andrew faced sustained criticism for failing to sit down with investigators for years after the allegations became public. Survivors said his reluctance to cooperate stood in stark contrast to the seriousness of the accusations surrounding Epstein’s operation and the scale of harm inflicted on young victims. Their demands were not limited to civil lawsuits; many victims emphasized that providing information to authorities could help clarify the roles played by powerful figures who moved through Epstein’s world. For the survivors, the issue went beyond Andrew personally—it symbolized what they saw as a broader pattern in the Epstein scandal, where influential individuals connected to Epstein were slow to face scrutiny or accountability while victims continued pushing for answers about how such an extensive trafficking network was allowed to flourish for so long.
