2022-01-13 20:01 'Prince Andrew now faces a civil case in the United States'
Queen Elizabeth's third child is being accused by Virginia Guiffre of sexually abusing her when she was 17 and being trafficked by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew has denied Giuffre's accusations that he forced her to have sex more than two decades ago at the London home of former Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and abused her at two other Epstein properties.
The prince’s lawyers say that a 2009 deal Virginia Giuffre struck with financier Jeffrey Epstein should prevent her from suing Andrew now, even though he wasn’t a party to it.
