Prince Andrew's lawyer is trying every strategy he can to get Virginia Giuffre's sexual assault lawsuit thrown out — but the judge seems skeptical
, many are looking to Giuffre’s case against Andrew, a longtime friend of Epstein’s, as a next step toward justice for victims of the sex-trafficking ring led by Epstein., filed in August 2021, alleges Andrew was among the men to whom Epstein trafficked Giuffre for sex and that she received “express or implied threats” from Epstein, Maxwell, and/or Andrew to perform sexual acts with the royal.
The main point at issue in court on Tuesday was broad language in the agreement releasing Epstein along with “his agent, attorney, predecessor, successor, heir, administrator, assign and/or employee” from further action by Giuffre, along with “any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant.”
Giuffre’s attorney, David Boies, argued his own interpretation of “other potential defendants,” saying Andrew did not meet the requirements because he was not subject to Florida’s jurisdiction, and he wasn’t accused of the same type of crime — sex-trafficking — as Epstein stood accused of in the 2009 lawsuit.
Kaplan responded pointedly, “With all due respect, that’s not a dog that’s gonna hunt here. I’m sure you’re as familiar with the rules of pleading as I am, and she has no obligation to do that in the complaint.”
