Lawyers for Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre, who has sued the British royal over alleged sexual abuse more than two decades ago, have named the first witnesses they hope to grill in the civil lawsuit.
Prince Andrew will challenge his sexual assault accuser's memory while her lawyers want to question a woman who purportedly saw him in a nightclub with a "young girl," US court documents show.
Lawyers for Andrew and Virginia Giuffre, who has sued the British royal over alleged sexual abuse more than two decades ago, have named the first witnesses they hope to grill in the civil lawsuit.
Andrew's attorneys said in a filing with a New York court late Friday that they were seeking testimony from Judith Lightfoot, Giuffre's psychologist in her adopted home of Australia.
Lawyer Melissa Lerner said that the prince's legal team want to quiz Lightfoot about what was discussed during her counseling sessions with Giuffre, who says she was trafficked to Andrew for sex in 2001.
