King Charles should meet Epstein victims, US lawmaker says
A US lawmaker has called for King Charles to meet with victims of Jeffrey Epstein during an upcoming visit to the United States. Democratic representative Lisa Hayes stated that the British royal should engage directly with the survivors of the late financier’s abuse to demonstrate support and solidarity.
The suggestion comes as King Charles is scheduled to tour the US in the near future, although specific details of the trip have not been disclosed. Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking minors, had numerous high-profile connections, including members of the British royal family.
Hayes emphasized the importance of acknowledging the pain and suffering of Epstein’s victims, highlighting the significance of King Charles’ potential role in addressing the issue. The lawmaker urged the royal family to take a stand against such egregious behavior and to show compassion towards those who have been affected by Epstein’s actions.
It remains to be seen whether King Charles will heed the lawmaker’s call and arrange a meeting with Epstein’s victims during his visit to the US. The royal family has not yet commented on the matter.
