Prince Andrew will face civil sex case trial after judge rules case can proceed | ITV News
Prince Andrew will face a civil sex case trial over allegations he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre when she was a teenager after a US judge dismissed a motion by Andrew's legal to have the lawsuit thrown out. Judge Lewis A Kaplan’s decision is a huge blow for Andrew, whose lawyer argued earlier this month the case should be thrown out as Ms Giuffre had waived her right to pursue the duke by signing a confidential settlement with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Ms Giuffre is suing the Queen's son over claims that Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Andrew at the time, trafficked her to have sex with the royal when she was 17 and a minor under US law. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/
