A lawyer representing survivors of Jeffrey Epstein is calling on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to release video‑surveillance footage from Epstein’s Manhattan residence that may show Prince Andrew visiting the property. The footage reportedly originates from CCTV inside Epstein’s townhouse and is considered potentially critical evidence in the broader investigation into Epstein’s network of abuse. (Telegraph)
The lawyer — Spencer Kuvin, who has represented multiple Epstein survivors — argues that the footage could confirm or refute allegations linking Prince Andrew to under‑age abuse facilitated by Epstein. Kuvin contends the footage has been withheld despite victims’ demands for transparency. (The Sun)
The request comes amid sustained scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s connections to Epstein. In January 2020, U.S. prosecutors stated that the Prince had given “zero cooperation” to the FBI’s investigation. (The Guardian) The demand for the footage underlines the victims’ push for accountability, and the view among their legal advocates that surveillance material may hold key answers about who visited Epstein’s home and when.
Opponents of the release argue that such footage may be subject to national security, privacy, or evidentiary restrictions, and that releasing it prematurely could jeopardise ongoing investigations or legal cases. Nevertheless, the lawyer maintains that without such evidence being made public or appropriately disclosed to victims, trust in the investigative and legal process will remain compromised.
As this dispute continues to unfold, the key question remains: will the FBI accede to the demand and release the footage — and will its contents shed new light on one of the most controversial sets of allegations linked to Epstein’s network?
