Will Virginia Giuffre’s civil case against Prince Andrew be dismissed?

Lawyers for Prince Andrew are arguing that the civil case against him brought by Virginia Guiffre should be dismissed at a hearing in New York.

They claim a 2009 agreement between Ms Guiffre and Jeffrey Epstein – which was unsealed earlier this week – means no more legal action against “any other potential defendants”.

Ms Guiffre has claimed she was forced by Esptein to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 – claims the Prince strongly denies.
