Prince Andrew Is Being Sued by a Victim of Jeffrey Epstein for Sexual Abuse. Here’s What to Know About the Lawsuit #WorldNEWS
Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth’s second son, faces a civil lawsuit in the U. S. for allegations of sexual abuse. The claimant, Virginia Giuffre, is a victim of the late billionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with whom Andrew formed a friendship. The Prince has said the allegations are completely false.
Here’s what you need to know about the charges, and whether Andrew will be extradited to the U. S. to face justice:
What is Prince Andrew accused of?
In a 15-page civil lawsuit filed by Giuffre at the U. S. District Court in Manhattan on Aug. 9, Prince Andrew is accused of “sexual assault and battery” against Giuffre in 2001 when she was aged 17. In 2009, Giuffre first alleged she was groomed by Jeffrey Epstein and his then-girlfriend, British socialist Ghislaine Maxwell. She claims the pair abused her and forced her into sex with powerful men.

According to Giuffre’s lawyers, Epstein and Maxwell ordered her to have sex with Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. He allegedly sexually assaulted her three times, once in London, again in New York, and a third time on Epstein’s private island in the U. S. Virgin Islands. During an interview with the BBC in 2019, Giuffre described being introduced to the Prince by Epstein and Maxwell in 2001. Maxwell allegedly told Giuffre to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey. Maxwell has denied all allegations.

On the second occasion, Giuffre’s lawyers say Andrew sexually abused her at Epstein’s New York mansion, touching her and engaging her in sex acts against her will. They also argue that Giuffre was compelled to do what Andrew wanted under threats of violence. The emotional impact of the abuse on Giuffre, the lawyers say, is “severe” and “long lasting”.

Giuffre alleges the Prince knew her age and that she was a victim of sex-trafficking at the hands of Epstein and Maxwell.
Giuffre is suing Andrew under New Yorks Child Victims Act, a 2019 law allowing victims of childhood sexual to pursue compensation for abuse which happened too long ago for criminal charges to be brought. She is seeking unspecified damages.
Prince Andrew acknowledged that he served with the suit as of Sept. 21. He has until Oct. 29 to formally respond.
How has Prince Andrew responded?
Prince Andrew has denied all allegations against him. In 2019, he laid out his defense in an interview with the BBC, claiming he does not even remember meeting Giuffre and that he was with his daughter, Princess Beatrice, on the night Giuffre says they met in London.
