This week, a judge backed Brettler's request for a 2009 settlement agreement between Epstein and Roberts to remain secret. The deadline for Andrew to respond to the claims in her lawsuit passed yesterday.ĭuring a hearing of the case last month, Brettler said the lawsuit was 'baseless, non-viable and potentially unlawful'. The prince's California-based lawyer Andrew Brettler was expected to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, according to a letter filed earlier this week. The prince has always denied the allegations. Roberts alleges she was told by notorious financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with Andrew at Epstein's mansion in New York and other locations.
Last month, Roberts served Andrew with court papers claiming that he sexually abused her in 2001 when she was 17. Mrs McCawley said she plans to use his Newsnight interview as a basis for the sexual assault case and described his decision to appear on television as 'shocking'. Prince Andrew, who has always strongly denied the allegations, was expected to file court documents arguing the case should be thrown out before last night's deadline. The Duke of York was last month served with court papers by Roberts who claims Andrew sexually abused her in 2001 when she was 17. The managing partner at US firm Boies Schiller Flexner claimed the interview was 'very helpful' and said the Duchess of York and Andrew's daughters may be subpoenaed to question his alibi, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Sigrid McCawley, an attorney for Roberts, said she and her team have looked over the infamous 2019 interview Prince Andrew, 61, gave to Emily Maitlis for 'inconsistencies'.
Prince Andrew's 'shocking' Newsnight interview will reportedly be used in the civil lawsuit against him filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, her lawyer has revealed.
