Prince Andrew is one of the most prominent people linked to Jeffrey Epstein, charged by Manhattan federal prosecutors in July 2019 with sexually exploiting dozens of girls and women. Photo: ReutersBritain's Prince Andrew has been served with a lawsuit by a woman accusing him of sexually assaulting and battering her two decades ago, when she asserts she was also being abused by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Police refused to let him see Andrew or to say where the prince was, he added. In a November 2019 BBC interview, Andrew, who had been a friend of Epstein, denied Giuffre's claims of sexual abuse, and said he did not recall meeting her. Maxwell is not a defendant in Giuffre's lawsuit against Andrew.
