One can only wonder if he’s going to do any sweating over this. There’s a new report that says Prince Andrew is expected to be in the hot seat for two days as he will be personally quizzed by Virginia Giuffre’s top lawyer, David Boies. Queen Elizabeth’s favorite son is being sued by Virginia, who claims pedophile Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew three times when she was 17.
According to reports, Prince Andrew still has some time on his hands as the deposition is expected to take place later this year. Boies has noted that he won’t be dragging the names of any of the members of the royal family when he sits down with the Duke of York.
Prince Andrew Will Be In The Hot Seat For 48 Hours With Virginia Giuffre
That said, a lawyer for the Duke of York – who has denied all allegations – argued the claim for damages “is unfair, it is unjust, it should be dismissed.” Prince Andrew’s legal team argued during a video conference that Ms Giuffre waived her right to sue the Duke when she signed a $500,000 settlement agreement with convicted sex offender Epstein in 2009.
During the hearing, the Prince’s lawyer said: “It’s unquestionable that Prince Andrew could have been sued in the 2009 Florida action. He was not. And therefore he was a ‘potential defendant’ and a release under the 2009 settlement agreement by its unambiguous terms.”
Either way, Prince Andrew has pretty much been canceled both in public and behind closed doors because of his association with Jeffrey Epstein and a new lawsuit that has been brought against him.
However, Prince Andrew has asked a U.S. court to dismiss Virginia Giuffre’s sexual abuse lawsuit, as his legal team beleives it’s “frivolous.” Virginia alleges that she was forced to have sex with the Duke of York on a number of occasions while she was still a minor.
Lawyers for the Duke of York say he “unequivocally denies” sexually abusing or assaulting Virginia Giuffre, now 38, and described her lawsuit as “frivolous” and an attempt to “achieve another payday at his expense.”
