An unsealed deal between Virginia Giuffre and Jeffrey Epstein from 2019 could be grounds for dismissal of her lawsuit against Prince Andrew
Prince Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, claims that the Queen’s son sexually assaulted her when she was 17 years old after she was trafficked by his former friend and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In papers filed in Manhattan federal court, Andrew Brettler, the prince’s attorney, wrote: “Without diminishing the harm suffered as a result of [Jeffrey] Epstein’s alleged misconduct, Prince Andrew never sexually abused or assaulted Giuffre. He unequivocally denies Giuffre’s false allegations against him.”
The Metropolitan police said in October that it would not take any further action against him following a review prompted by Giuffre’s claims. Scotland Yard originally ruled out opening an investigation into Epstein, but in August Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick said the force would review the decision.
