re: EPSTEIN: Prince Andrew WILL Testify.10 March in London in Sex Abuse Case
Prince Andrews' Former Assistant Must Testify in Civil Case, Says Judge
Prince Andrews' former assistant must testify in civil case brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre
BBC 1 FEB 2022
The Judge presiding over the civil suit brought against the Duke of York has requested that the former assistant, Robert Olney, give evidence
.
Prince Andrew is being sued by Virginia Giuffre, claiming she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with the Duke when she was 17 years old.
The Duke of York denies all the allegations against him.
Judge Lewis A Kaplan has written to the Senior Master of the Queen's Bench Division in an effort to get Mr Olney to testify regarding communication between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epsiten, Ghislaine Maxwell and Ms Giuffre as well as his travel to Epstein’s various properties.
Last month, Ms Giuffre’s lawyers had requested Mr Olney’s testimony as well as one potential witness based in Britain.
Judge Kaplan also wrote to the High Court requesting to hear the testimony of Shukri Walker, a UK based woman who claims to have seen the Duke and Ms Giuffre in Tramp nightclub in London in March 2001.
Ms Giuffre’s husband Robert and her psychologist Dr Judith Lightfoot have also been asked to provide testimony.
For his part, Mr Giuffre will be asked to discuss how he met his wife, any childhood trauma suffered, her relationship with Epstein and Maxwell as well as any occasions on which she mentioned the Duke of York.
Dr Lightfoot will be asked to discuss any medical interactions she has had with Ms Giuffre as well as the theory of false memory.
All four witnesses have been asked to finish giving testimony by April 29.
