‘Soft term’ of Andy’s paedo pal is probed

- BY CHRISTOPHE­R BUCKTIN US Editor

Jeffrey Epstein THE lenient sentence given to Prince Andrew’s paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein will be reviewed.

The New York financier, 66, allegedly molested 100 girls at his home in Florida.

He was also suspected of running an internatio­nal sex traffickin­g ring and could have faced life – but was granted federal immunity in a 2007 plea deal.

He got 18 months for soliciting an underage prostitute and served 13.

Welcoming the new probe, Senate Judiciary Committee member Ben Sasse said Epstein got “a pathetical­ly soft sentence.”

One victim alleged in 2015 that Epstein used her as a sex slave and she slept with Prince Andrew – prompting a strong denial from Buckingham Palace.
