A U.S. district judge in Manhattan said he anticipated a trial on Virginia Giuffre’s civil claims would begin between September and December 2022.
“I will look at the possibility of September, but in any case October through December as being the target here,” Kaplan said in phone conference with Andrew’s and Giuffre’s lawyers.She said Andrew forced her to have sex at the London home of longtime Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and abused her at Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan and on one of Epstein’s private islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Wednesday’s conference came five days after Andrew, 61, said he “unequivocally denies Giuffre’s false accusations against him” and urged Kaplan to dismiss the lawsuit. He said this included Giuffre’s purported receipt of “millions of dollars” in a 2017 settlement of a civil defamation lawsuit against Maxwell.Article content
Both also said they do not expect disputes over the application of “foreign law” to be part of the case.
