Prince Andrew is set to 'fight' the sex assault case against him with his legal team planning to 'properly scrutinise inconsistencies' in his accuser's lawsuit, reports say.
The Duke of York is being sued in New York by Virginia Giuffre, now 38, who claims he sexually abused her on three separate occasions when she was 17 – in London, New York and on billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein's Caribbean island.
Andrew, 61, has consistently and strongly denied the allegations.
A source close to the Prince told The Times that by launching the civil case, Mrs Giuffre 'has actively invited legal scrutiny of her own version of events'.
The source added: 'This provides an opportunity for the duke's team to properly scrutinise the multiple inconsistencies in her narrative that have emerged over the years, and you can expect to see a rigorous defence of all her allegations.'
