Explainer | A judge has given the green light for a sex abuse lawsuit to go ahead against the prince. What legal avenues are open to him? PrinceAndrew

leaving him to defend the case as a “private citizen”. On Thursday, both Buckingham Palace and the duke’s lawyers were making no comment about his next move. However, legal experts say he has no good options. Already, thereported, the process would be moving towards the discovery stage, with the duke having to submit requested documents, such as phone logs, emails or diaries, and depositions due mid-July.

The prince could appeal the ruling by Kaplan. However, this would lead to further delays and there is no guarantee that a higher court would accept his case, given the strength of Kaplan’s ruling. “I think it’s very important to Virginia Giuffre that this matter be resolved in a way that vindicates her,” Boies toldfollowing the Manhattan ruling. “A purely financial settlement is not anything that I think she’s interested in,” he said.Because this is a civil lawsuit, if it went to trial it would be up to Giuffre’s team to prove the allegations were true on the balance of probabilities rather than beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the tougher burden of proof required in criminal cases.

Prince Andrew to face sex abuse lawsuit tied to EpsteinA US judge has rejected a bid by Prince Andrew to dismiss Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit accusing the Duke of York of sexually abusing her when she was 17 Good news. HRH is claiming he is coverd by Epstein's agreement. Why would he claim this if he did not commit the acts? As she was under 18 at the time and one incident occured in the UK is HRH admitting to a criminal act under British law? HRH should have kept to polo and opening fetes.

Prince Andrew must face lawsuit tied to EpsteinPrince Andrew failed to convince a judge to toss a lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing a teenage girl decades ago. Should have tried an Australian judge. I mean 'What more could this man have tried in order to work up a sweat?' Irrespective of Andrew's guilt hopefully this will send a signal to those people in society who believe that there are no consequences to their actions.
