Lawyers for Prince Andrew and his accuser Virginia Giuffre have filed their initial requests for witnesses in her lawsuit accusing the British royal of sexually abusing her at age 17.
The lawsuit cleared a hurdle after a judge earlier this week refused Andrew's request to have it dismissed.
The prince has strenuously denied Giuffre’s allegations, telling the BBC in 2019 that sex with Giuffre “didn’t happen” and that he had “no recollection” of meeting her. Andrew's lawyers want Robert Giuffre to be questioned about the circumstances under which the couple met around 2002 and their household finances. They want the testimony from the two, who are both Australian residents, by April 29 or as soon as possible after that.
Giuffre's lawyers, meanwhile, have filed similar requests for Andrew's side. They want testimony from his former assistant Robert Olney, whose name they say appeared in Epstein's phone book under “Duke of York," which they say indicates he knew about Andrew's travel to Epstein's properties.
