Prince Andrew to face civil sex assault case after US ruling
Prince Andrew is to face a civil case in the US over allegations he sexually assaulted a woman when she was 17.

New Delhi, 13 January 2022                                                                   

As per news report of BBC, Virginia Giuffre is suing the prince, claiming he abused her in 2001. His lawyers said the complaint should be dismissed, citing a 2009 deal she signed with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But a New York judge ruled the case could continue. The prince has consistently denied the claims. Buckingham Palace said it would not comment on an ongoing legal matter. The motion to dismiss the lawsuit was outlined in a 46-page decision by Judge Lewis A Kaplan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. It means the case against the Duke of York, 61, could be heard in court later this year.
