Prince Andrew could have avoided his sexual-assault lawsuit, sources told The Post, if he had apologized to accuser Virginia Giuffre Roberts years ago.
Queen Elizabeth’s second son now faces the hugely damaging prospect of appearing in a New York court to face Roberts, who has brought a civil lawsuit against him, claiming that he slept with her three times when she was 17.
Virginia Giuffre has filed a civil suit against Prince Andrew, claiming she was forced — by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — to sleep with him three times when she was 17.Judge Lewis Kaplan heard arguments from the prince’s legal team Tuesday, as they claimed the case should be dismissed because the prince was protected by a $500,000 settlement back in 2009 between Roberts and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Giuffre’s legal team is getting ready to put their “discovery” evidence in front of the judge this summer, which reportedly includes evidence from one unnamed woman who recalls being told to get ready for Andrew at Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion, sources told The Post. The photo was first published by the Mail on Sunday in 2011, when Roberts first made her claims that she had been kept a sex slave by Maxwell and her former lover Epstein.It is now one of the most infamous images of the entire Epstein saga. Andrew denies all claims of impropriety.
The legal team for Giuffre say that Prince Andrew, seen here with his mother, Queen Elizabeth, has ignored all correspondence from the courts.Giuffre did not testify in Maxwell’s trial. Laura Menninger, one of Maxwell’s attorneys, had said of her: “[Prosecutors] don’t want her to testify because she has a lot of credibility problems.”
