Prince Andrew 0ffered £75million to Take Public Lie Detector Test Over Jeffrey Epstein
Investigative journalist Ian Halperin has offered Prince Andrew $100 million (£75m) to take a polygraph test over his relationship with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein
Daily Mirror, 20 AUG 2021
Prince Andrew is being offered $100 million (£75m) to take a public lie detector test about his relationship with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Investigative journalist Ian Halperin is offering the Duke of the York the money, equal to £73.3 million, “to come clean and take a polygraph test with a world-leading polygraph examiner.”
The New York Times bestselling author wants to quiz Andrew, 61, about claims from his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre.
She alleges she was brought from the US to London at age 17 to have sex with the Prince in 2001 before then being loaned out to him two further times in the States by Epstein.
The Duke has vehemently denied her claims.
Halperin’s offer comes just a week after, Giuffre, 38, issued civil proceedings against Andrew in New York over rape and sexual abuse allegations.
The author said the stunt would be a pay per view event.
“If he (Andrew) is as innocent as he says he is, he passes and it clears his name. It is a great way for him to vindicate himself in 45 minutes,” Halperin told Mail Online.
“It will be a pay per view event, hopefully the biggest pay per view in history, where Andrew gets $100million for just turning up and taking the test.”
The writer added: “So it is a win-win for him and he would be able to make a donation to victims of child sex trafficking.
"It would make him look great.
“Nobody has ever made that amount of money for 45 minutes work. And we will provide him with hair and make-up.”
Canadian Halperin has made films and documentaries using certified polygraph tests to try to establish the credibility of witnesses.
He explained: “I have specialised in doing broadcast polygraphs for years, working with some of the world's leading polygraph examiners.”
“I am open-minded about the result. I leave the door open for him to clear his name. I am bypassing this 'he says, she says' and cutting to the chase.
The event would be Andrew's first appearance on-camera since his car crash BBC Newsnight interview with presenter Emily Maitlis in November 2019.
The Prince is one of many high profile and powerful people linked to Epstein, who Manhattan federal prosecutors charged in July 2019 with sexually exploiting dozens of girls and women.
Epstein, a registered sex offender, killed himself at the age of 66 in a Manhattan jail on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial.
Prosecutors later said Andrew had provided "zero cooperation" with their probe despite saying he would.
