Rep. Nancy Mace has called for Prince Andrew to be put in “handcuffs” — just days after she stormed out of a House Oversight Committee’s closed-door meeting with Jeffrey Epstein victims in tears.
“Now seems like a good time to discuss prosecuting Prince Andrew for any and all potential crimes on US soil,” Mace posted on X late Wednesday.
“A cold dark cell. Prince Andrew in handcuffs. Sends the right message.”
Prince Andrew has long been plagued by allegations he sexually abused one of Epstein’s most high-profile accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, when she was 17.
The disgraced British royal, who paid Giuffre an undisclosed sum in 2022 to settle a civil lawsuit, has always denied the claims.
“Seems like the right next step (after we release the files),” Mace wrote in a follow up tweet regarding her call to now prosecute him.
“Perhaps we can focus on prosecuting predators next. Let victims, survivors and the country heal.”
Giuffre died by suicide in April at her home in Australia.
Mace, meanwhile, has been among those pushing for the release of the so-called “Epstein files” — despite President Trump’s efforts to dismiss the issue as a hoax.
The South Carolina Republican, who has previously shared her own experience as a victim of sexual assault, was spotted leaving the House Oversight Committee’s meeting with Epstein victims visibly upset this week — claiming their horror stories gave her a “full blown panic attack.”
“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe,” she later posted on X as she addressed why she left the meeting early.
“I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS.”
