Rupert Murdoch and Prince Andrew both continued their relationship’s with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after Epstein’s jailing for being a paedophile in 2008.

But only Prince Andrew has been held accountable, at least by the media and public, for his continued friendships with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after Epstein’s release from jail in July 2009.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Wikipedia profile says:

In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials had identified thirty-six girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused.

Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal, and served almost thirteen months in custody but with extensive work release. Epstein was released on July 22, 2009, for a year of probation on house arrest until August 2010.

Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. (Click here to read more)

In 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with the deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In June 2022, she was sentenced in a New York court to twenty years imprisonment. (Click here to read more)

Jeffrey Epstein was released from jail in July 2009 and in September 2010 the below picture was taken of “Ghislaine Maxwell and newspaper billionaire Rupert Murdoch, pictured together in at the Fifth Important Dinner for Women hosted by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Wendi Murdoch and Indra Nooyi in New York in September 2010″ (Click here to see the picture in a 2015 Daily Mail article)

I’ve seen people on social media defend Rupert Murdoch’s relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell by saying that Murdoch knew her father Robert Maxwell. That is a ridicules argument as it implies that if you know the parents of sexual predators it’s then ok to be friends with them.

And it doesn’t explain how or why Jeffrey Epstein had Rupert Murdoch’s phone numbers in his black book and why Murdoch won’t answer media questions as per below etc. 

Rupert Murdoch also took a happy snap with his then wife Wendi Murdoch at the Fifth Important Dinner for Women in 2010 as per below. I do not know who the lady on the left is. Given Rupert Murdoch’s then wife Wendi Murdoch was one of the three hosts it’s likely Rupert Murdoch invited Ghislaine Maxwell.

Below is Rupert Murdoch and Indra Nooyi at The 5th Important Dinner For Women – 2010 which I think is important, as given the sign in the background, it is the same spot Murdoch’s picture was taken with Ghislaine Maxwell at the same event.

Below are questions that I sent on the 10th of January 2024 to Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch and a number of News Corp and Fox Corp executives:

Subject: Rupert Murdoch’s personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – Media questions from Shane Dowling

Dear Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, David Pitofsky, Michael Florin, Jim Kennedy, Gabrielle Brown, Brian Nick and Jeff Taylor

I am a journalist in Australia and I have some questions regarding Rupert Murdoch’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

I have also sent this email and questions to News Corp and Fox Corp executives as Rupert Murdoch may have used News Corp and Fox Corp assets for the benefit of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell or to quash media stories for their benefit.

The questions are:

1. When and where did Rupert Murdoch first meet Jeffrey Epstein?
2. Can Rupert Murdoch explain how Jeffrey Epstein had 2 of Rupert Murdoch’s personal phone numbers in his black book?
3. How many times did Rupert Murdoch meet Jeffrey Epstein? And where did those meetings take place?
4. How many times did Rupert Murdoch communicate with Jeffrey Epstein via phone and email etc?
5. Did Rupert Murdoch continue to meet and/or communicate with Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction and jail sentence for paedophilia in 2008? If so, can you detail all the meetings and communication?
6. When did Rupert Murdoch first become aware that Jeffrey Epstein was a pimp supplying young girls to the rich and famous?
7. How many times did Rupert Murdoch visit Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean Island, Little St. James? (Known as Paedophile Island)
8. Did Rupert Murdoch ever have sex on Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean Island, Little St. James? (Known as Paedophile Island)
9. Did Rupert Murdoch ever have sex with any women and/or girls introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell?
10. Given Rupert Murdoch made $millions from sexually exploiting teenage girls as topless page 3 girls for his newspapers and Jeffrey Epstein also made $millions from sexually exploiting teenage girls. Is that the common bond that underpinned Rupert Murdoch’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s friendship?
11. Why does Rupert Murdoch continually use News Corp media to support paedophiles, alleged paedophiles, rapists and alleged rapists such as George Pell, Bruce Lehrmann, Christian Porter and many others while at the same time attacking survivors of sexual assault crimes?
12. When and where did Rupert Murdoch first meet Ghislaine Maxwell?
13. How many times did Rupert Murdoch meet Ghislaine Maxwell? And where did those meetings take place?
14. How many times did Rupert Murdoch communicate with Ghislaine Maxwell via phone and email etc?
15. Why did Rupert Murdoch continue to meet and communicate with Ghislaine Maxwell after Jeffrey Epstein was jailed for paedophilia in 2008? (As per Ghislaine Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch, pictured together in at the Fifth Important Dinner for Women hosted by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Wendi Murdoch and Indra Nooyi in New York in September 2010)
16. Has Rupert Murdoch continued to communicate with Ghislaine Maxwell since her jailing for 20 years in 2022?
17. How long has Rupert Murdoch known about the criminality of the Maxwell family, and why did Murdoch do nothing about it? Not just Ghislaine, but her father too?

The questions I have asked are more than fair and reasonable and are similar to questions that many people associated with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have been asked by other journalists. If you fail to respond to the fair and legitimate questions in this email I think many members of the public will think Rupert Murdoch has a lot to hide.

Please respond by 5pm Queensland time (AEST – UTC/GMT +10 hours) on Friday the 12th of January 2024 so I can publish.

Regards

Shane Dowling

At the time of publishing this article, 21st January 2024, Rupert Murdoch nor anyone else form News Corp or Fox Corp has responded to the above questions. I also Tweeted the above questions on the 11th of January 2024 to News Corp and Fox Corp. (Click here to see on Twitter)

On the 13th of August 2019 I published an article titled “Was Rupert Murdoch involved in the Jeffrey Epstein paedophile scandal given his details were in Epstein’s black book?” which starts off:

Rupert Murdoch, who has a long history of paying $millions to cover-up the sexual abuse and harassment of women at Fox News, is pictured with Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell below which points to them possibly being friends. But what is more interesting is that Jeffrey Epstein had Rupert Murdoch’s private contact details in his black book which was revealed in 2015 court proceedings.

With Jeffrey Epstein dead, the focus will now turn to his alleged co-conspirators such as Ghislaine Maxwell and you have to wonder what Rupert knows and was he involved in any way?

Jeffrey Epstein was a well-known paedophile who was friends with both US President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. Both Trump and Clinton have a long list of women who have accused them of sexual assault and rape. (Click here to read the article)

Jeffrey Epstein was released from jail in July 2009 and Rupert Murdoch was at a function in New York with Ghislaine Maxwell in September 2010. Murdoch’s phone numbers were found in Jeffrey Epstein’s black book as per below and Rupert Murdoch refuses to answer media questions regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

While recently more names were released by the US courts, there are still unnamed people with applications before the US courts trying to conceal their names from being publicly released in matters involving survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s paedophile ring.

Is Rupert Murdoch one of the people with an application before the US courts trying to conceal his name?

The old media have reported responses from dozens of people regarding their association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell such as former US Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and Prince Andrew etc but never Rupert Murdoch.

Given Prince Andrew has been held accountable by the media and the public for his relationships with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after Epstein’s jailing for being a paedophile in 2008 why have the old media given Rupert Murdoch a free pass and refused to ask him any questions?
