(Tariq Tahir, Henry Holloway, Katie Davis) PRINCE Andrew will sensationally face a court battle with his rape accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a judge has ruled today.
Related First Maxwell, Now Prince Andrew? Court Ruling Means Big Trouble for Epstein-Linked Royal
by Tariq Tahir, Henry Holloway, Katie Davis, January 12th, 2021
The Duke of York failed in his attempts to stop the case after he was sued for allegedly sexually abusing his accuser when she was just 17.
The bombshell ruling represents a hammer blow to the royal who has strenuously denied allegations made by Ms Giuffre.
Her allegations have dogged Andrew, 61, since she first made them in 2011, when the now infamous photograph emerged of him with his hand around her emerged.
His reputation is already in tatters over questions over his friendship with paedophiles Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was recently convicted of trafficking girls for him to abuse.
In a car-crash interview with the BBC he denied ever meeting her and if he appears in court, he will certainly be cross examined under oath about that claim.
The case is also a huge embarrassment for the royal family, as the Queen prepares to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.
His current predicament stems from his controversial friendship with paedophile Epstein, who Ms Giuffre alleges introduced her to the royal.
She accused Epstein of raping her and sued him but reached an out of court settlement in 2009 in which she was paid $500,000 (£371,000) in return for dropping the case.
What we know about the case:
- The royal faces a number of bombshell claims from Ms Giuffre
- She alleges she was forced to have sex with him three times
- He strongly denies any wrongdoing and even says he has never met
- Andrew brushed of her description of one encounter by saying he could not sweat
- Newly-released court documents claim Andrew knew she was trafficked to him
- Experts say the trial will cause ‘massive embarrassment’ for the Queen
Prince Andrew’s lawyers argued he was covered by a part of the settlement in which she also agreed not to sue “any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant”.
But David Boies, Ms Giuffre’s lawyer, said only the parties of the settlement agreement – Epstein and Ms Giuffre and their associates – could benefit from it, and not a “third party” such as Andrew.
