In a 15-page lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the plaintiff claims that in addition to being abused by Jeffrey Epstein himself, Giuffre was also forced to have sex with Prince Andrew at Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s direction.
In a 2019 BBC interview, Andrew denied the allegations and said he had never met Giuffre—despite photographic evidence to the contrary. The lawsuit also states that Andrew emailed Maxwell about the allegations back in 2015, naming Virginia Roberts specifically in the email.
Prince Andrew has not cooperated with the U.S. authority’s investigation into Epstein’s and Maxwell’s alleged trafficking operation involving several underage women.
In a recent interview on the Law & Crime Trial Network, Denver defense lawyer Jeffrey Wolf discussed the broader ramifications of the suit.
“Especially where Epstein is concerned, there are a large number of powerful people who are closely connected to him,” explained Wolf. “There’s the Bill Gates allegations that came out after the divorce. There are Bill Clinton connections. There are Donald Trump connections, and then you have Prince Andrew and the royal family…Lord knows the British royal family has enough money to get an expert to come in and say that the picture is doctored…but that’s not the only piece of evidence…”
