Epstein Accuser Virginia Giuffre Sues Prince Andrew over Alleged Sexual Abuse

HeadlineAug 10, 2021

A compensation program for the survivors of convicted predator and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has finished its claims process. The Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program said Monday it had awarded $125 million to about 150 people out of 225 people who filed claims.

In related news, in New York, Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, has filed a federal lawsuit against Prince Andrew, accusing the British royal of sexually abusing her at Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan and other locations in 2001, when she was a minor. Giuffre also accuses Prince Andrew of intentional infliction of emotional distress. Prince Andrew was a close friend of Epstein’s and has been accused of being involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes. He is the son of Queen Elizabeth.
