Police to look into claims Prince Andrew sought information on accuser
Police authorities have announced they will be looking into claims that Prince Andrew sought information on Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault. The allegations suggest that Prince Andrew used his position to try to gather information that could potentially discredit Giuffre’s accusations.
The incident is reported to have taken place sometime in 2015 or 2016, with the involvement of Prince Andrew, a member of the British royal family, and Virginia Giuffre, who has accused the prince of sexually abusing her when she was being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.
According to sources close to the investigation, the claims surfaced as part of an ongoing lawsuit filed by Giuffre against Prince Andrew, alleging that he sexually assaulted her when she was underage. It is alleged that representatives of Prince Andrew requested information from a former U.S. prosecutor who had previously been critical of Giuffre’s credibility.
Buckingham Palace has not yet responded to these specific claims. However, Prince Andrew has consistently denied all allegations of sexual misconduct against him, including those made by Giuffre.
The police have indicated that they will examine the claims thoroughly to determine the veracity of the allegations and whether any laws were broken in seeking information on Giuffre.
