Marina Lacerda, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse who was groomed and exploited starting at age 14, has renewed calls for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—formerly known as Prince Andrew—to face questioning and justice in the United States. Speaking to The Guardian on December 25, 2025, shortly after the release of new Epstein documents, Lacerda demanded the disgraced former royal be “brought to justice” over his alleged ties to the sex trafficking network.
Lacerda, originally from Brazil and now living in the US, was abused by Epstein for several years. Though she never met Mountbatten-Windsor personally, she has joined other survivors in advocating for full accountability. The latest files, released by the U.S. Department of Justice under the 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act, include emails and photographs that intensify scrutiny on the former prince’s relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Among the revelations are apparent email exchanges where Maxwell sought “friendly, discreet and fun” young women for a man named “Andrew” during a trip coinciding with his official visit to Peru. Other documents reference Mountbatten-Windsor’s presence during interactions involving victims and suggest he had knowledge of recruitment for sexual acts. Previously released photos show him with Epstein and Maxwell in elite settings, including royal estates.
Lacerda’s demand echoes those from the late Virginia Giuffre’s legal team, who stated that anyone who believed Mountbatten-Windsor’s denials “should be ashamed.” Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse when she was 17 (allegations he has always denied), settled a civil suit in 2022 before her tragic suicide in 2025.
Victims’ advocates argue the heavily redacted releases protect powerful figures, delaying justice. With millions more pages pending into 2026, Lacerda and others insist Mountbatten-Windsor must answer questions under oath in the US to confront Epstein’s enduring legacy of exploitation.
