Stripped of his military distinctions and royal affiliations in 2022, Prince Andrew was among the individuals mentioned in previously concealed portions of a prior legal action. These segments were part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015, a case that was ultimately settled.
Although the lawsuit reached a resolution outside the courtroom, the complete deposition was unsealed, revealing details about approximately 170 of Epstein's connections, including friends, business associates, and victims.
Giuffre accused Epstein of trafficking her and Prince Andrew of s-xually assaulting her three times at different locations when she was 17. The released documents also featured a deposition from another Epstein accuser, Johanna Sjoberg, who alleged that Andrew had groped her during a group photo.
Furthermore, a separate victim asserted that she was compelled to engage in s-xual activities with Prince Andrew when she was a minor, occurring in three distinct geographical locations.
