In Court Documents In The United States, Prince Andrew Denise Having A Close Association With Ghislaine Maxwell.

In a formal answer to the lady who is suing him in the United States for sexual assault, Prince Andrew denied being a close acquaintance of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

The prince's lawyers also allege that he intends to challenge Virginia Giuffre's claim in front of a jury.

The Duke of York has always disputed all of the accusations leveled against him.

Ms Giuffre claims he assaulted her when she was 17 at the residences of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell.

However, Prince Andrew's legal team cites a variety of reasons why her civil action should be rejected in an 11-page court brief submitted on Wednesday.

The issue of consent is one element they ask the court to consider.

"Assuming, without admitting, that Giuffre has incurred any loss or damage asserted in the complaint, Giuffre's claims are precluded by the doctrine of consent," according to the paper.

According to the memo, Prince Andrew "admits that he met Epstein in or around 1999," but denies any wrongdoing with the late financier.

His lawyers argue they don't have enough information to confirm or deny the existence of an image of the prince with his arm around Ms Giuffre with Maxwell in the background.

Ms Guiffre's claim that Prince Andrew was a close friend of Maxwell is "denied" elsewhere in the text.

"Prince Andrew hereby seeks a trial by jury on all causes of action alleged in the complaint," his lawyers write to a US judge.

This demand, according to US lawyer Lisa Bloom, who represents a number of Maxwell and Epstein accusers, is a "public relations ploy," given Ms Giuffre had already requested a jury trial.

Ms Giuffre's constitutional right to a jury trial if she requested for one, she added, rendered Prince Andrew's request "meaningless."

Prince Andrew has demonstrated that he is willing to battle this in court, vehemently refuting all of the allegations leveled against him.

Even the notorious portrait of Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell has been questioned.
