Prince Andrew case: British and Australian authorities called to help get witness testimony

Giuffre has long accused Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of forcing her into a sexual encounter with Andrew 20 years ago, when she was aged 17. She has claimed that Andrew engaged in sexual misconduct with her on several other occasions.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was arrested in July 2019 for sex trafficking girls as young as 14. He killed himself approximately one month later while jailed in Manhattan, pending his own sex-trafficking trial.

Maxwell, daughter of the British press titan Robert Maxwell, was convicted of sex trafficking and related charges in December for bringing girls as young as 14 to Epstein, for him to sexually abuse.
