[Global Times special correspondent Zhen Xiang] The British "Daily Mail" reported on the 27th that Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom on Wednesday night on the sexual assault lawsuit he faced, through the legal documents submitted on behalf of the lawyer, completely denied the accusing woman Virginia Joffrey's allegations, and requested a jury to hear the sexual assault lawsuit.
In August, Jufrey filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in the U.S. District Court for the New York District of The United States. According to public litigation information, Jufrey said that she became a "sex slave" of the American tycoon Epstein when she was a minor, and was manipulated by Epstein's girlfriend Maxwell, and was later introduced to Prince Andrew, and was sexually assaulted by Prince Andrew at the age of 17. Earlier this month, a U.S. judge dismissed Prince Andrew's legal team's request to set aside the lawsuit, pushing the proceedings to continue. A few days later, the British royal family announced that Prince Andrew had been stripped of his military rank and royal patron status. Because of the discredit, Prince Andrew's latest legal documents no longer use the name "Prince's Highness" and will be litigated in ordinary citizenship.
Prince Andrew admitted to meeting Epstein in 1999 but denied that he had sexually assaulted or assaulted Jufrey. In the latest legal filing, Prince Andrew took a tough tone, giving "41 denials" to a series of allegations by Jufrey. However, the Daily Mail said that prince Andrew's confidence is debatable, for example, he denies that Epstein's girlfriend Maxwell is his "close friend" and also says that he is not familiar with Jufrey, but the photos that go viral on the Internet show that he is very intimate with Jufrey, and there is a smiling Maxwell standing next to him.
Britain's Sky News said that this is the first time Prince Andrew has responded in detail to Jufrey's sexual assault allegations, and it is also the most thorough denial he has ever denied, highlighting his determination to "clear the charges". Prince Andrew may have to appear in the United States later this year for trial.
Prince Andrew's dirty and depraved social circle brought shame to the British royal family. According to the British "Sun" recently disclosed, sexual assault lawsuits entangled prince Andrew once spent a crazy vacation with the American pedophile rich Epstein, when the 40-year-old Prince Andrew, as the father of two young sons, not only patronized a club in Thailand's red light district, but also was photographed hanging out with naked women on a yacht in Phuket.
