“The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The Duke of York has failed to convince a US judge to toss out Virginia Giuffre’s suit accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager.
The court documents reveal that Jeffrey Epstein settled the lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre for $US500,000. The Prince argues the deal means he cannot be sued.
The prominent Epstein accuser says her husband woke her in Perth on Thursday with the news of Maxwell’s five convictions.
I’d love an hour with Maxwell to ask her why she hooked up with a paedophile for more than a decade. Was it romance or pragmatism?
Her sex crime convictions mean no Martha Stewart-style ‘minimum security’ comfort,but Maxwell’s family and lawyers have already started work on her appeal.
What do we know about the British socialite convicted of sex trafficking? What were the charges brought against her? What happened in the trial?
Maxwell’s conviction is significant and sends a sobering signal to other enablers that they can and will be held accountable.
Maxwell was heard telling a reporter she was willing to talk to the media as jurors ask for “false memory” transcripts.
In a new filing,the Duke of York argues that Virginia Giuffre cannot sue him in the US as she is really living in Perth,not Colorado as she claims.
“We now face a high and escalating risk that jurors and/or trial participants may need to quarantine,” US District Judge Alison Nathan said.
