Cops' duty

PRINCE Andrew still has questions to answer about his time with his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein, according to a leading lawyer.

US attorney Spencer Kuvin, who has represented some of Epstein's victims, says British detectives now have a duty to investigate the Prince.

Mr Kuvin made the demand after sex assault allegations against Andrew, 63, resurfaced in documents newly unsealed by a civil court in America.

In 2021, Scotland Yard announced it was taking no action after a review prompted by Virginia Giuffre, who had filed a separate US civil lawsuit against the Prince claiming he sexually assaulted her, which he vehemently denied.

After the release of the previously unseen legal papers on Wednesday night by a New York judge, calls have been made for the Prince to be grilled.

Mr Kuvin said: "Andrew still refuses to fully account for his time with Epstein and has failed to speak with US investigators about what he knows.

"British police need to do their duty and reopen their investigation into his conduct." The Florida-based lawyer said those, such as Andrew, who associated with wealthy US financier Epstein after his conviction for soliciting a minor in 2008, warrant higher scrutiny.
