One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims has called for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to have “the balls to face up to what he did” in a revealing new interview.
Marina Lacerda was 14 years old when she met the convicted paedophile and is now calling on the former Duke of York to be transparent with his knowledge of the situation.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to his friendship with Epstein.
King Charles took the unprecedented step to remove Andrew’s royal titles earlier this month due to his ongoing links with the convicted paedophile.

“If I myself got accused of something this outrageous, I would want to go and at least clear my name.
“Clear up your name. And if you did do any wrongdoing, own up to it.
“You have a family. You have daughters. You have daughters that have daughters.
Ms Lacerda has now revealed: “I hope he has the balls to face up [to] what he did and answer the questions. Why shouldn’t he?
“Okay. If you know this is something that you’ve done in the past and you regret it, just say it to the world. What’s the worst thing that could possibly happen now,” she revealed to 5 News.
She went on to claim that Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, as well as his children, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, should reveal what they know as well (although there is no evidence of their knowledge of any wrongdoing).
She continued: “It would be the right thing to do for them to get subpoenaed. He said that he was having pizza with his daughters, right, if I’m not mistaken.

“So, it would be nice to get some transparency there, and I would hope that his daughters would speak. They would be truthful about it.
“We need to stop protecting people because they are our family. We need to start protecting people that are getting hurt by your family.”
Buckingham Palace revealed on October 30 that Andrew would have his royal titles removed.
In a statement, they said: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.
Sarah Ferguson has also been called on by Marina Lacerda

“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
GB News has approached Andrew’s representatives for comment.
