A judge in New York has rejected Prince Andrew’s attempt to persuade a US court to throw out a sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him by longtime American accuser Virginia Giuffre. Prince Andrew’s legal team had argued in court papers and proceedings that Giuffre’s 2009 settlement with Epstein shielded the duke from her lawsuit. It identifies to whom it attributes that sexual abuse,” Kaplan wrote. After the party, Prince Andrew claims, he was at home with his children all night. As part of Giuffre’s suit, her legal team has requested documents that would prove whether or not Prince Andrew can sweat.
