Both the main perpetrator and one of his most prominent victims died by their own hand – and only Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s enabler, has ended up in a US jail.
Andrew has maintained his innocence, while settling out of court with Giuffre to the tune of millions of pounds – an arrangement I am told was encouraged by the late Queen and Andrew felt strong-armed into putting the matter to rest.
With the exception of Maxwell, none of them did. While her trial unearthed consistent stories from four women that they had been trafficked and abused, having been trained for sex work by her while employed as masseuses for Epstein, the trails of evidence have become hard to follow.
That leaves much unrevealed – and many guilty people able to continue their lives in the monied circles in New York and Palm Beach in which Epstein moved.

Tenacity in seeking justice and recompense for herself and others who had suffered at Epstein’s hands was undoubted. But her personal life and mental state had unravelled: Giuffre was in the wake of a messy divorce and custody battle when she alleged last month that she had been badly injured in a crash with a bus, in which the driver of her vehicle appears to have been her carer.
That is now vanishingly unlikely. The early death of a figure whose life was soiled by Epstein creates another twist of tragedy – and a legacy of shame for all who colluded with him.
