Attorneys for Prince Andrew, Andrew Brettler and Melissa Lerner, say they recently discovered the complainant, Virginia Giuffre, has lived in Australia for all but two of the past 19 years and cannot claim she is a resident of Colorado, making her ineligible to pursue her civil case in the US District Court.

However, the prince's lawyers said in a filing on Tuesday the new information about Ms Giuffre's residence should result in the suspension of any further progress in the lawsuit toward trial, which would include depositions of Prince Andrew and Ms Giuffre, until the issue is settled as to whether a foreign resident would be disqualified from suing.

An attorney for Ms Giuffre, Sigrid McCawley, called the request to toss out the case "just another in a series of tired attempts by Prince Andrew to duck and dodge the legal merits of the case Virginia Giuffre has brought against him".

Australia has no constitutional bill of rights for (all of) it's citizens, just a goodwill based monarchy financial elite

Leave him alone.

Desperate attempt to find any loophole to avoid trial. His desperation is an admission of guilt. Nothing to hide Nothing to fear

Worked a treat for Julian…

If you have nothing to hide step up snd go and answer their questions

Australia is part of the Commonwealth your mother the queen is head of. This would be an excellent case of a republic if he is successful in Court.

NONCE!!

The prince is guilty as charged

Straws/clutching at

REPUBLIC NOW!

Well she is a convict who stole bread and was sent to Oz. I mean, how dare she!

Assange is fine though to be tried in USA!

Geez he's looking rough

Good try Aus is part of commonwealth ask mummy,no more distraction byHarry&Meg publicity,too late now to squirm out of biggest child sex trafficking ring,friend Ghislaine will get off because of deal,all the big pedos are squirming with you but no thoughts for the abused kids🤮🤬

It shouldn’t matter if she now lives on the moon,she was molested in the, USA by this sex mad mongrel and shouldn’t be allowed to go free this is the 21st century not the dark ages, if has any balls stall he should face justice!

'the prince 'never sexually abused or assaulted' Ms Giuffre and they believed she had sued 'to achieve another payday at his expense and at the expense of those closest to him'. No surprises there.🙄

If they've only just discovered this, they're hopeless lawyers.

Guilty

The legal strategy favoured by all truly innocent men

Lol scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get out of this fingers crossed fools don’t fall for it.

If the alleged abuse took place in USA then that’s where it should be heard, regardless where either of them live.

That is the most stupid argument a Crime is a Crime. The very fact he has been taken out of all Royal duties is the most obvious sign they know a lot and cut him loose. Is he not escorted by UK govt security bring them to the stand also. Personal security detail know everything

If there is any justice in the world, the man will be locked up

I bet he's not sweating right now

Fk'n pedophile

I notice that he no longer claims innocence. He is relying on legal tricks to try and defeat this action. I wonder if Andrew thinks UK citizens should not be able to take action in USA either.

He will get away with it as money talks

Greasy lawyers for toffs.

Princeling aims to revive droit de seigneur.

Yep, so therefore the crime never happened!

No problem we are a Commonwealth Country, surely we can extradite him, actually I think the Queen might still own some of the prisons he should feel at home, might even be lucky enough to share a cell with Christian Porter.🤔

And where does your dick reside

Lol

Clutching at straws Andy.

Pig.

Assange is not a US citizen yet they claim treason. You are all hypocrites

Hes the Queens son, ABC, you might want to try showing some respect.

OhFFS

Royal Nonce suddenly wants an Australian republic.
