(CNN) Attorneys representing women who say Jeffrey Epstein abused them criticized Prince Andrew Monday and urged him to speak to law enforcement amid growing backlash to the British royal's stunning BBC interview. Attorney Gloria Allred urged Prince Andrew to "step up" and tell the FBI the details of what he knew about Epstein. "Not only about Mr. Epstein, but about Miss (Ghislaine) Maxwell and anyone else that was in Mr. Epstein's circle, because there is still an ongoing, serious, intense, criminal investigation by the United States Justice Department." She did not meet Prince Andrew but rejected his claim to the BBC that he did not know about Epstein's criminal activity. It is upsetting to me to think that anyone who was closely associated with Jeffrey Epstein might argue that they didn't suspect that he might have been sexually abusing children."
