NEW YORK, Aug 10 ― Britain's Prince Andrew was sued yesterday for having allegedly on three occasions sexually abused a woman who has claimed she was trafficked for sex by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the complaint, Giuffre said Andrew forced her to have sexual intercourse against her will at the London home of Epstein's longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.Andrew told the BBC in November 2019 he had no recollection of meeting Giuffre, and could not have had sex with her at Maxwell's home because he had returned that night to his house after a children's party.
Her complaint, signed by her lawyer David Boies, accused Andrew of battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.“I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me,” Giuffre said in a statement. “The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions.
