Jeffrey Epstein requested the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, to publicly declare that she is not a pedophile, according to recent documents.

Jeffrey Epstein, convicted for sexual relations with minors, asked the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, to make a public statement in which she would assert that he is not a pedophile. This fact was revealed through the publication of over 3 million documents by the U.S. Department of Justice. In emails, Epstein mentioned that Ferguson had been tricked into believing the accusations against him. He also suggested meetings with the royal family and inquired about the duchess's daughters.

Prince Andrew, Ferguson's husband, has been involved in scandals related to Epstein, being accused of sexual assault, but has always denied the allegations. The documents also show surprising messages from the duchess to Epstein, in which she thanked him for his support, even after his conviction. The former duchess was contacted for comments but did not provide a response.
