‘Clock is ticking’ for Prince Andrew to speak with feds about Jeffrey Epstein: Gloria Allred

Attorney Gloria Allred said at a press conference Monday that Britain’s Prince Andrew should speak with federal prosecutors in New York before Ghislaine Maxwell does — and warned that the “clock is ticking” for him to do so.

Allred spoke in Los Angeles after federal authorities last week arrested Maxwell for allegedly procuring girls who were sexually abused by multi-millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein`.

Allred, who represents 16 of Epstein’s alleged victims, said Maxwell’s indictment should scare the powerful men in Epstein’s orbit — including Prince Andrew.

“My point is this, she knows quite a bit about the powerful men who were close to Jeffrey Epstein,” she said. “Ms. Maxwell is the one who introduced Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein.”

Allred added that Prince Andrew, the Queen of England’s son, should answer prosecutor’s question under oath — before Maxwell speaks to authorities about sexual abuse by Epstein’s powerful friends.

“If I were Prince Andrew, I would want to speak to prosecutors before Ms. Maxwell speaks to the prosecutors. And the clock is ticking. She could decide to speak with them at any time,” Allred said.

She added that he had no problem speaking to the BBC about allegations that he sexually abused girls who were procured by Epstein — but that interview was not under oath.

“Does he need a gold plated invitation? Delivered by footmen who bow and curtsy to him to sit there with prosecutors,” Allred said at Monday’s press conference.

Prince Andrew has denied wrongdoing.

Maxwell faces two counts of perjury in addition to four child sex-trafficking-related charges. It’s unclear if she intends cooperate with authorities.

Maxwell was transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn Monday and is expected to make an initial court appearance later this week.
