Lawyers for Virginia Giuffre, who says she was assaulted at 17, sent the civil lawsuit to the prince’s US-based lawyer.
The United Kingdom’s Prince Andrew has been served with a sexual assault lawsuit in the United States by lawyers for a woman who says she was forced to have sex with him at the London home of a close friend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, court papers show.
In a filing with the US District Court in Manhattan, lawyers for Virginia Giuffre said they sent the civil lawsuit to the prince’s Los Angeles-based lawyer Andrew Brettler by email and FedEx, and both copies had been received by Monday morning.
Under federal rules, the Duke of York has 21 days to respond or could face a default judgement. Giuffre’s lawyers previously said they also had served Andrew, who is Queen Elizabeth’s second son, in the UK.
