Letters show Epstein fathered a secret child

Jeffrey Epstein appears to have fathered a secret child. This is suggested by previously unknown letters from Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, in which she congratulates the convicted pedophile on the birth of a son, according to media reports.

In a letter dated September 21, 2011, found among the latest release of Epstein case documents, Ferguson wrote that her then-husband, the disgraced Prince Andrew, had told her the news. «I don’t know if you still use this messenger, but from the Duke I heard that you had a baby boy,» the message reads. «Although you have not been in touch, I send you love, friendship, and congratulations on your little one. Sarah xx.» If true, the boy would now be around 15 years old.

Less than 10 minutes later, Ferguson«s tone shifted, according to a subsequent letter. »You disappeared. I didn«t even know you were having a child,» she wrote. «It was absolutely clear to me that you were friends with me only to get to Andrew. And that hurt me very deeply. More than you can imagine.»

It was previously unknown whether Epstein had children, despite accusations of abusing hundreds of women. Just two days before he was found dead in his New York prison cell, the 66-year-old Epstein signed a will, leaving the bulk of his fortune, real estate, and famous private island to his last known girlfriend, Karina Shulak.

In another message, dated January 2010, six months after Epstein«s release from prison, Ferguson begged him to marry her. »You are a legend,« she gushed. »I truly have no words to describe my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.« The context of this message in the documents is not explained.

In September 2009, after Epstein had been released from Palm Beach County jail where he served time for soliciting minors, Ferguson again brought up marriage. She suggested he marry a woman with a «great figure,» adding: «Okay, then marry me, and then we»ll hire her.«

The new documents also show that Epstein tried to pressure Ferguson into publishing a statement claiming he was «not a pedophile» and that she had been «misled» by false accusations against him. In March 2011, he asked publicist Mike Sitrick to draft such a statement.

In April of the same year, a recipient identified in the documents as «Sarah,» whose email is redacted, wrote that she «did not call» and «will not call» him «P» (pedophile) and that she acted to «protect her own brand.» The messages suggest this refers to Sarah Ferguson.

In other letters, Ferguson thanked Epstein in August 2009 for being «the brother I always dreamed of» and wrote that she had «never been so touched by a friend»s kindness.« In April 2009, she called him »my dear, brilliant, and special friend Jeffrey« and a »legend,« adding that she was »proud« of him.
