- Accuser Virginia Giuffre is suing Andrew for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager. She claims she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with the duke
- Giuffre’s legal team has requested a wealth of information from Andrew’s lawyers, including confirmation of a claim he did not sweat
Britain’s Prince Andrew has been asked to produce key documents to support an alibi that he did not have sex with an American accuser – including confirmation of a claim he did not sweat – in a case linked to a recent high-profile sex trafficking verdict against an acquaintance of his, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Virginia Giuffre’s legal team has requested a wealth of information from Andrew’s lawyers as they investigate his BBC Newsnight interview when he said he was visiting a Pizza Express restaurant on the day of the claimed sexual encounter.
Giuffre is suing the queen’s son for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager and claims she was trafficked by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with the duke, and was pictured with the royal and Maxwell during the period the alleged intercourse took place.
Andrew has denied all the allegations.
Giuffre’s lawyers have also requested travel documents detailing Andrew’s movements on Epstein’s planes and to his various homes, the duke’s visit to Pizza Express in Woking and London’s Tramp nightclub where Giuffre alleges she danced with a heavily sweating Andrew before they had sex.
