Prince Andrew civil case accuser seeks UK witness testimony
Ms Giuffre, now 38, claims the late financier Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to have sex with men, including Prince Andrew when she was 17 - a minor under US law.
In letters submitted to the Royal Courts of Justice in London, her lawyer David Boies has requested two individuals in the UK provide evidence. Seeking testimony from Mr Olney, who is the prince's former equerry, the letter says Ms Giuffre has reason to believe that he has relevant information about Prince Andrews's relationship with convicted child sex offender Epstein.
This is because Mr Olney's name appears in publicly-available copies of Epstein's phone book, lawyers say.The documents say Ms Walker has stated in the press that she was a potential witness to Prince Andrew's presence at Tramp around the time Ms Giuffre says the royal abused her in London after visiting the club. They note Prince Andrew, the Queen's second son, has denied being at Tramp on the night in question or having ever met Ms Giuffre.
"The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen," the palace said in a statement.
