He told Emily Maitlis he had gone to New York to end his friendship with the disgraced tycoon and made no mention of any other contact. Paedo Epstein was released from prison following a 13-month sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008, with Andrew claiming he met with him in December 2010 to break off their friendship. But new court documents allege the prince also met with the paedophile while he was under house arrest at his Florida home in June earlier the same year, The Mirror reports. An email sent by Epstein to a banker on June 14 read: "Andrew just sat next to me at dinner." The court documents are from a civil case brought by the US Virgin Islands Government against JP Morgan in New York. They point to a series of emails between Epstein and then JP Morgan boss Jes Staley, which allegedly show how Andrew acted as an intermediary. Police in Florida began investigating Epstein in 2006, before he was jailed for soliciting a minor for prostitution. The convicted sex offender was found dead in 2019 in his jail cell in Manhattan while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. The Mirror has contacted Prince Andrew for comment. 4 It contradicts a claim made by the Duke of York in his infamous 2019 Newsnight interview Credit: PA 4 Epstein died in prison while awaiting trial Credit: Splash){kind=link}
