'We look forward to confronting him': Virginia Giuffre's lawyers fire a warning shot at Prince Andrew

The legal team representing a woman who accused the UK's Prince Andrew of sexual abuse when she was a teenager is hitting back after Andrew appeared to blame her for the abuse she allegedly suffered, The Independent reports.

Virginia Giuffre alleges in a civil lawsuit that she suffered emotional harm and battery after she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and made to have sex with Andrew on three occasions back in 2001.

This Wednesday, Andrew denied all of the allegations and said that Giuffrie's own “wrongful conduct” would be the theme of his defense.
