History

Historical Context

Prince Andrew faced serious allegations of sexual misconduct involving Virginia Giuffre, who claimed he assaulted her when she was 17, after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. In August 2021, Giuffre filed a lawsuit under New York's Child Victims Act, leading to a settlement of approximately $12 million in February 2022. This ongoing investigation into Andrew's ties to Epstein reflects a broader societal reckoning with abuse and privilege among elites.
