Duke of York says Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of forcing her to have sex when she was 17, is seeking a ‘payday’ at his expense
In a filing asking a US judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit in which he is accused of sexually abusing a woman when she was 17, Prince Andrew said his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, was seeking a “payday” at his expense.
A filing with the US district court in Manhattan on Friday signed by the lawyer Andrew Brettle said: “Giuffre has initiated this baseless lawsuit against Prince Andrew to achieve another payday at his expense and at the expense of those closest to him.”
