Gloria Allred, an experienced women’s rights lawyer representing victims of Jeffrey Epstein, has stated her doubts regarding the possibility of real justice for victims of trafficking and abuse in light of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's recent arrest. She highlighted that while the UK authorities acted promptly on allegations related to trade secrets involving the former prince, there remains a troubling lack of progress on the more serious allegations of sexual violence against him.

During an interview on BBC Radio 4, Allred emphasized the disparity in the treatment of allegations, noting that the swift arrest was made in relation to allegations concerning state trade secrets and potential financial crimes, while much graver accusations — specifically those involving rape and child sexual abuse — have not been addressed adequately by law enforcement. This indicates a potential prioritization of certain types of allegations over others, raising concerns about the commitment to holding high-profile individuals accountable for sexual misconduct.

Allred's comments reflect a broader frustration within advocacy circles, suggesting systemic issues in the justice process for trafficking victims, particularly when those accused are powerful figures with significant influence. This case not only highlights the legal challenges faced by victims but also underscores the societal need for a more consistent and fair approach to addressing sexual violence allegations, ensuring that victims receive the justice they deserve, regardless of the social status of the perpetrators.
