Epstein Survivor Praises Prince Andrew Arrest: ‘We Are Doing Nothing In The United States’
Lacerda reacted to the arrest with bittersweet comments during an appearance on CNN.
“It’s amazing,” the survivor told News Central host John Berman. “And it’s really, really something that all the survivors have been looking forward and working towards. And I have to say, Virginia’s brother and sister must be thrilled right now.”
She added, “I just look at it, it’s insane how everyone’s taking action and we are doing nothing in the United States. I’m right here in Norway right now, we have Princess Märtha answering to questions, and it’s just really sad that United States is not taking any action.”
The latest tranche of files appears to suggest Andrew gave Epstein confidential information in 2010 and 2011 as the official UK trade envoy — including a brief about some profitable investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Afghanistan’s Helmand Province.
Lacerda has never accused Andrew of sexual misconduct herself, and while the disgraced royal wasn’t arrested on such charges on Thursday and has always denied wrongdoing, he settled with Giuffre for an undisclosed sum a few years before she died.
“I’m very, very happy that … we’re making history here,” Lacerda said. “So this is big.”
