Prince Andrew says he has 'no recollection of ever meeting' Epstein accuser Victoria Giuffre:
Nearly five years after allegations first surfaced in court records accusing Britain's Prince Andrew of having sexual relations on multiple occasions with an American teenager, the third child of Queen Elizabeth has broken his silence about those claims and his long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison earlier this year.
For nearly a decade, the prince has been under scrutiny for his association with Epstein, a multi-millionaire financier and the subject of state and federal investigations since the mid-2000s for allegedly recruiting underage girls for illicit massages and sex. Epstein ultimately avoided federal charges involving allegations of abuse against nearly three dozen girls by agreeing to two comparatively minor charges in Florida state court.
" had made allegations against you," Maitlis said."She says she met you in 2001, she says she dined with you, danced with you at Tramp Nightclub in London. She went on to have sex with you in a house in Belgravia belonging to Ghislaine Maxwell, your friend. Your response?""You don't remember meeting her?" Maitlis asked.
The court record in that case, which settled in 2017, was kept largely under seal, however. Earlier this year, a federal appeals court ordered about 2,000 pages of documents released. Those newly public records revealed that Giuffre, in deposition testimony, had also alleged she was directed by Epstein and Maxwell to have sex with other men, including former U.S. Senator George Mitchell and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
While there would seem to be no way to reliably contest the prince's claim that he doesn't remember meeting Giuffre, there is the 2001 photograph showing the him with his arm around her waist. The deposition excerpt that has been made public cuts off at that point, so there is no way to know what she said in the deposition as to what happened next.
