Prince Andrew reportedly sued by alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein in New York

( Good for her. Stay strong )

Prince Andrew has been reportedly sued in New York by an alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein.

According to People and ABC News, Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew for "sexual abuse under the Child Victims Act" saying she was "trafficked to him and sexually abused by him" when she was 17.

This isn't the first time Giuffre has alleged that she was sexually abused by the prince.

In a federal lawsuit in 2015, Giuffre alleged she was forced her to perform sex acts with several prominent men, including Prince Andrew in 2001.

In 2019, Andrew announced that he was withdrawing from his royal duties amid renewed attention of his friendship with Epstein and Giuffre's claim that she had several sexual encounters with the prince starting when she was 17.

In 2015, Giuffre filed a defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell for her repeated denying of abuse against Giuffre.
