Richardson was not charged with a crime.

A spokesperson for Richardson said the allegations are untrue.

“These allegations and inferences are completely false. Governor Richardson has never even been contacted by any party regarding this lawsuit. To be clear, in Governor Richardson’s limited interactions with Mr. Epstein, he never saw him in the presence of young or underage girls. Governor Richardson has never been to Mr. Epstein’s residence in the Virgin Islands. Governor Richardson has never met Ms. Giuffre," said Maddy Mahony, Richardson's spokesperson.

Giuffre has also claimed that she had sex with prominent defense attorney Alan previously claimed that she had sex with Alan Dershowitz, which he denies.

Giuffre sued Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was allegedly Epstein's madam. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
