Lawyers for British Prince Andrew have agreed to the fact that American Virginia Jufre (formerly Roberts) was served on him with a complaint of sexual assault. Reported by BBC News.
The prince is officially notified of the civil action brought against him. This means that the defendant is fully aware of the charges brought against him, and if he does not take part in the case after that, he risks automatically losing..
In August, American Virginia Jufre filed a civil lawsuit against Queen Elizabeth II's middle son, Prince Andrew..
She stated that over 20 years ago, when she was 17 years old, she was brought to the UK and became a victim of sex trafficking.. According to her, the son of the Queen of Great Britain abused her in London and then in New York, knowing that she was not 18 years old.. In her lawsuit, she refers to amendments to New York law that have expanded the ability to file lawsuits for children who are victims of violence.. Prince Andrew, 61, has previously denied Jufre's accusations.
