NEW YORK – A woman who alleged that she was brought to the United Kingdom when she was 17 to have sex with the Duke of York has filed a civil case here claiming he abused her.
Virginia Giuffre, an accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claimed she was sexually assaulted by Prince Andrew in London and this city.
Giuffre’s case cited New York’s Child Victims Act, which expanded victims’ rights to sue alleged abusers.
The case claimed the prince was engaged in sexual acts without her consent, knowing how old she was and “that she was a sex-trafficking victim”.
It said the “extreme and outrageous conduct” continues to cause Giuffre “significant emotional and psychological distress and harm”.(BBC)
