Prince Andrew 'unequivocally' denies sex abuse, asks court to dismiss Virgina Giuffre case
Virginia Giuffre has filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew alleging he sexually abused her on multiple occasions.Queen Elizabeth's son's lawyers accused Giuffre of suing"to achieve another payday" from her accusations against Jeffrey Epstein.
"Most people could only dream of obtaining the sums of money that Giuffre has secured for herself over the years," wrote attorney Andrew Brettler. The 38-year-old sued Andrew for unspecified damages in August, claiming he sexually assaulted her more than 20 years ago when she was 17 and a minor under US state law.
His lawyers did so on Friday, requesting that the lawsuit be dismissed"for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted"."Virginia Giuffre may well be a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, and nothing can excuse, nor fully capture, the abhorrence and gravity of Epstein's monstrous behaviour against Giuffre, if so," they wrote.
