Meeting with the King would 'demonstrate human dignity', says Epstein survivor

Teresa Helm, a survivor of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, says a meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla would "demonstrate human dignity".

Speaking to the BBC's Nada Tawfik, Helm echoed the requests of other survivors and lawmakers for the Royals to meet with Epstein survivors.

The King and Queen are visiting Washington DC from 27 to 30 April. A Buckingham Palace source confirmed the King and Queen won't meet with survivors during the state visit due to the possibility of it jeopardising legal proceedings in the case.
