As Prince Andrew’s sexual assault case continues in New York, the controversial royal is expected to argue that he has not been served papers and the allegations fall outside of the current jurisdiction

The Duke’s lawyer is likely to appear in a pre-trial court conference call on Monday… and it follows Andrew denying all of the charges laid against him.

The conference call will give the judge the opportunity to decide whether or not the papers were actually served by the lawyers of the accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

Virginia Giuffre alleges that Andrew sexually assaulted her when she was 17 at Ghislaine Maxwell’s house. The duke denies all allegations against him.

Giuffre was also an accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and claims the Duke sexually assaulted her at three locations, including New York City.

The case put forward claims that Prince Andrew engaged in sexual acts without Giuffre’s consent, knowing “that she was a sex-trafficking victim”.

Andrew is the Queen’s second son and has consistently denied the claims.
