Prince Andrew‘s lawyers plan to interview Virginia Giuffre’s husband and therapist, while her team want to speak with the Duke of York’s former assistant.
Virginia has accused convicted s.e.x offender Jeffrey Epstein – who took his own life in August 2019 – and his one-time girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell of arranging and forcing her into having s.e.x with the Duke of York in 2001 when she was 17 and as part of the civil case, the 61-year-old royal’s legal team.
Judge Lewis Kaplan has written to the country’s Attorney General asking for help to arrange the interview, either in person or via video link, and explained Andrew is keen to have him questioned about their living arrangements in Australia, any discussion Virginia had with Robert about the prince, all aspects of their income, and his accuser’s “alleged childhood trauma and abuse”.
The Australian Attorney General has also been asked to help the judge arrange an interview with Virginia’s therapist, Dr. Judith Lightfoot, because Andrew and his legal team want to know what medical treatment she may have given her client, her medical history and any diagnosis she gave her, and what trauma she suffered as a child.
They also plan to quiz the doctor about the bills she charged, “theory of false memories”, and any alleged “emotional and psychological harm and damages”. Meanwhile, Virginia’s team have asked for Andrew’s former equerry, Robert Olney, to give evidence.
