Epstein accuser sues Prince Andrew, alleging sexual assault at 17
In a statement, Virginia Giuffre said she was ‘holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me’.
New York | One of Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accusers sued Prince Andrew on Monday (Tuesday AEST), taking to a formal venue accusations that she has repeatedly publicly lodged against him, including that he sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
Lawyers for Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, where Epstein was charged criminally with sex trafficking a month before he killed himself at age 66 in August 2019 in an adjacent federal jail where he was ordered to await trial.
