The Duke of York, 61, has been under increasing pressure since August when Virginia Giuffre, 38, filed a complaint in Manhattan federal court accusing Queen Elizabeth's second son of sexual assault when she was a minor over 20 years ago.
NEW YORK - A New York judge Thursday set a date of 4 January for a hearing in which lawyers for Britain's Prince Andrew will plead for dismissal of a case of sexual assault brought by a US woman.
Giuffre alleges that late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein lent her out for sex with his wealthy and powerful associates, including Andrew. Giuffre alleges that Andrew also sexually abused her at the London home of socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
