Virginia Giuffre sues Prince Andrew for alleged sex abuse

Giuffre, an Epstein accuser who says she was abused at 17, says she is holding Andrew ‘accountable for what he did to me’.

An American woman who alleges she was brought to the United Kingdom as a teenager to be sexually assaulted by Prince Andrew is suing the royal family member, taking accusations that she has repeated publicly to a formal venue. On Monday, lawyers for Virginia Giuffre, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, where the US financier was charged criminally with sex trafficking in 2019. He killed himself a month later, at age 66, as he awaited trial in federal jail next to the court.
