Andrew will not face police action over bodyguard claim
The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, will not face any police action regarding allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed he attempted to use his police protection to obtain personal information about her. The allegations were first reported in October and have been the subject of scrutiny since then.
The Metropolitan Police conducted a review of the claims but concluded that there was insufficient evidence to warrant further investigation. A spokesperson for the police stated that they had assessed the information provided and determined that no criminal offenses had been committed.
Virginia Giuffre has been a prominent figure in the legal battles surrounding allegations of sexual misconduct involving high-profile individuals. She has previously accused Andrew of sexual abuse, claims he has consistently denied. The decision not to pursue police action comes amid ongoing discussions about accountability and the treatment of allegations of this nature.
Prince Andrew has faced significant public scrutiny and legal challenges in recent years, particularly related to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The outcome of this latest review may provide some relief for the Duke as he continues to navigate the fallout from these allegations.
