In the new legal documents filed in a New York court, they respond to the civil claims that Giuffre has filed against Andrew. In the legal memo, Andrew’s team describes the claim as “incomprehensible or at the very least ambiguous”. The prince’s lawyers substantiate this by stating that Giuffre has regularly changed her version of events in various media statements. They also say that “memories fade and false memories are created as a result.”
Prince Andrew is accused of sexually abusing Virginia Giuffre. Queen Elizabeth’s second son is said to have abused her some twenty years ago when she was under 18. She would have been recruited by the convicted and now deceased businessman Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with the prince at the time.
In the new documents, Prince Andrew’s lawyers also state that Giuffre was 17 at the time of the alleged violations, which is the age of majority in New York. For that reason, according to the lawyers, she has yet to come up with evidence that she was forced to have sex with the prince against her will.
A hearing in this case will be held in New York on January 4.
