Prince Andrew still has options in his sex abuse civil case. But none look good.

A New York judge's decision to allow the civil sex abuse case against Prince Andrew to continue is the latest significant legal blow to the senior royal. But it wasn't entirely unexpected.
The Queen's third child had hoped to get the lawsuit from Virginia Roberts Giuffre thrown out. Giuffre alleges convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein sexually trafficked her to Prince Andrew when she was underage.
In the lawsuit, Giuffre says the Duke of York was aware she was a minor (17) when she claims he abused her at Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands, at the pedophile's mansion in Manhattan and at Ghislaine Maxwell's home in London.
