While being named in the Epstein files does not in itself suggest wrongdoing, Ferguson’s alleged friendship with the disgraced financier was also referenced in the latest batch of documents released by the Department of Justice.
Several of the alleged email exchanges between Ferguson and Epstein are dated after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a child.
In one email dated 21 September 2011, Ferguson reportedly wrote: “Don’t know if you are still on this bbm but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy.
“Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship and congratualtions (sic) on your baby boy. Sarah xx”
The message was followed by another which read: “You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a baby. It was soooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew. And that really hurt me deeeply. More than you will know.”
