Britain's most senior police officer on Thursday said that detectives will re-examine allegations against Prince Andrew due to the US civil suit against him for alleged sexual abuse.
The Duke of York has been accused of sexual assault and battery by Virginia Giuffre in a court filing submitted in New York this week. She says she was made to have sex with Queen Elizabeth II's second son in London, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands when she was aged 17.
Dame Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, told U.K. radio station LBC: "No one is above the law. It's been reviewed twice before, we've worked closely with the Crown Prosecution Service, we are of course open to working with authorities overseas, we will give them every assistance if they ask us for anything within the law obviously.”
“As a result of what's going on, I've asked my team to have another look at the material."
Virginia Giuffre on Monday filed a claim in New York, alleging the late US financier Jeffrey Epstein regularly abused her and lent her out to "powerful men" for sex.
A court filing says Giuffre feared for her life if she refused their instructions after being flown to London to meet Andrew in 2001. Prince Andrew has always denied the allegations.
