LONDON - US lawyers for alleged victims of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday urged Britain's Prince Andrew to cooperate with investigators, saying he was"simply not credible" in an interview on his relationship with the financier.
On Thursday, he stepped down as chancellor of Britain's University of Huddersfield as pressure continues to mount on both sides of the Atlantic. Allred has filed a civil lawsuit for a client known as Jane Doe 15, who claimed Epstein sexually abused her when she was 15 but has not accused Andrew of any wrongdoing.
Andrew was widely criticised for what a leading publicist called a"car crash" BBC interview on Saturday to discuss his friendship with Epstein and allegations from a US woman who said she was forced to have sex three times with Andrew, including when she was 17.
