Andrew of having sex with
an underage ‘sex slave’
are going to be reopened
by a judge investigating the
Jeffrey Epstein case.
The billionaire and long-time
friend of the royal stands
accused of recruiting girls as
young as 14 and sexually
abusing them.
One of the 2000 files include
that of Virginia Roberts, now 35,
who claims Epstein forced her to
have sex with Prince Andrew.
In 2001, the duke was
pictured with Virginia at her
home in London, but Prince
Andrew strongly denies all
her accusations.
A judge previously dismissed
the claims, however, with thecase being reopened, the
prince – who was last
photographed partying with
Epstein in Manhattan in 2010- could no doubt be dragged
into the scandal again.
The palace maintains that
Andrew is no longer an associate
of Epstein’s and stated: “The
Duke of York has not visited any
home of Mr Epstein or met with
him since December 2010 when
the photograph in Central Park
was taken.”

A ROYAL SEX
SCANDAL
together for about a year-and-a-
half before we were discovered,
and the point at which we were
finally exposed and hounded
by the press was rather
emotional for both of us.
“We carried on despite the
attention and there was, from
that point, a bounty on my
head,” she says.DEFENDING
THE PRINCE
Despite ending their
relationship, Koo and the
prince remained close friends.
When Andrew was accused
of keeping an “underage sex
slave” in 2015, it was Koo who
rushed to his defence.
“Prince Andrew is a dear
friend of mine and godfather to
my daughter. I’ve only known
him to be honourable and
honest, with Christian values.
I dismissed this latest story as
just another sexual slur to add
to the list of criticisms of him
in recent years,” Koo wrote in
a piece for The Mail on Sunday
in 2015.
“My first reaction was
fury, then disbelief at the luridallegations being made against
a man I have known for more
than 30 years.”
Koo also detailed time with
Andrew, describing their
instantaneous connection and
the speed with which she became
his girlfriend, explaining that
the months that followed were
“some of the happiest memories
I have of my life.”
Koo went on to describe
Andrew as “a nice man, a tender,
loving, caring and normal
boyfriend”.
However, the American
admitted that they were seen as
somewhat of an unusual couple,
given Koo’s preference to abstain
from alcohol and practice yoga- a trend not yet fashionable in
the 1980’s – a habit that rubbed
off on Prince Andrew.
“Andrew adopted the
practices he found useful for
his health and I never minded
being considered eccentric for
standing on my head!” She
admitted. “He’s a man whose
efforts have been – unfairly –
more often met with criticism
than praise.”
