Britain's Prince Andrew does not recall meeting Epstein accuser | IOL News

LONDON - Britain's Prince Andrew said that he had no recollection of ever meeting an American woman who alleges she was forced to have sex with him when she was underage.

Andrew also told BBC television in excerpts of an interview to be aired later on Saturday that he had "let the side down" by staying with U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's conviction for paying a teenage girl for sex. One of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre, has said she was forced to have sex with Andrew in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island between 1999 and 2002, when she says Epstein kept her as a "sex slave".

In an excerpt of the interview with the BBC's Newsnight programme, the prince was asked about the accusation by Giuffre that she had sex with him in a house in London. "I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever," said Andrew, the 59-year-old second son of Queen Elizabeth.
