Judge expects to make decision on motion to dismiss lawsuit against Prince Andrew soon
CNN
An attorney for Prince Andrew argued at a hearing Tuesday that a lawsuit filed against his client by Virginia Giuffre, who alleges Prince Andrew sexually abused her, should be dismissed largely in part because he believes a settlement agreement Giuffre signed with Jeffrey Epstein releases him from legal action.
Andrew's attorney also argued Giuffre's lawsuit is not sufficient because it does not detail her abuse, and that the New York state law that allowed her to file the suit decades after the alleged abuse was unconstitutional.
Prince Andrew has continually denied all allegations made against him by Giuffre.
