Juffre has repeatedly filed charges against the British prince, but for the first time she is suing him. Andrew categorically rejected her claims in a BBC interview in November 2019. He doubted the authenticity of the photo of him hugging Juffre by the waist.
Juffre is one of the accusers of financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of trafficking in minors for sexual exploitation and died in a prison in Manhattan in the summer of 2019. The complaint against Andrew alleges that it was Epstein and his girlfriend Gislane Maxwell who forced Juffre to have sex with Prince Andrew.
