Prince Andrew Served With Papers in Epstein Sexual Abuse Civil Lawsuit

His Royal Highness Prince Andrew’s lawyer in Los Angeles has been served with legal papers notifying the member of Britain’s Royal Family of a civil lawsuit in the United States, accusing the Duke of sexual assaulting a teenager.

The lawsuit claims that Prince Andrew sexually assaulted alleged Jeffery Epsilon victim Virginia Giuffre, 38, who was underage at the time of the alleged attack. Ms Giuffre, 38, has accused the prince of committing battery and intentionally inflicting emotional distress upon her.

Guiffre said that she was forced to have sex with the Duke when she was 17-years-old at properties owned by deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in Manhattan and the infamous island in the Caribbean, as well as in London.

Prince Andrew has stridently denied having sex with the teenager, saying in 2019: “It didn’t happen”.

A legal summons and complaint papers were sent by FedEx and email on Monday to Prince Andrew’s American lawyer Andrew B Brettler, of the LA-based Lavely & Singer law firm, Sky News reported.

Papers were also sent to the Royal Courts of Justice in London from a court in New York. He will have 21 days to respond to the claim or face a default judgement. – READ MORE
