Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that new information has emerged from Jeffrey Epstein documents regarding Prince Andrew's alleged groping incident with a woman named Johanna Sjoberg. However, this is not entirely accurate as it implies that there are new details being revealed when in fact these allegations have been previously known and reported on by other sources. Secondly, the article quotes Ghislaine Maxwell confirming the existence of a caricature puppet of Prince Andrew which was found in Epstein's home. However, this quote is taken out of context as it does not directly address the groping incident with Sjoberg and therefore cannot be considered evidence supporting that claim.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Metropolitan Police's statement that they are not conducting any new investigations into Prince Andrew after a 2016 deposition accusing him of groping a woman's breast was released this week. However, it is important to note that the police have no jurisdiction over cases outside their country and therefore cannot investigate matters in another country. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Virginia Giuffre accused Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her on three separate occasions when she was 17, which were among the information included in the documents released this week. This statement is not accurate as it implies that Giuffre's allegations are true and proven, but they have been settled out of court with no conviction or guilty plea. The author also uses a dichotomous depiction by stating that Prince Andrew denied the allegations and claimed to have no recollection of meeting Giuffre, though the two were photographed together when Giuffre was a teenager. This statement implies that there are only two options: either Prince Andrew is telling the truth or he is lying, which oversimplifies complex issues.
