Longtime Jeffrey Epstein accuser sues Prince Andrew, citing sex assault at 17

Longtime Jeffrey Epstein accuser sued Prince Andrew on Monday, Aug. 9, 2021, saying he sexually assaulted her when she was 17.

One of Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accusers sued Prince Andrew on Monday, taking accusations that she has repeatedly publicly lodged against him, including that he sexually assaulted her when she was 17, to a formal venue. Lawyers for the victim filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, where Epstein was charged criminally with sex trafficking a month before he killed himself at age 66 in August 2019 in an adjacent federal jail where he was ordered to await trial.
