US lawyer Alan Dershowitz has claimed that he is planning legal action against a woman who claims she was forced to have sex with him and Prince Andrew when she was a minor.
He told the BBC that his main goal is to bring charges against the client and require her to speak in court and if she believes she has been hurt by him and Prince Andrew, she should be suing them for damages, and that he welcomes the lawsuit and any opportunity that would put her under oath and require her to state under oath these false allegations.
Dershowitz also said he thought Prince Andrew should take "whatever legal action is available" to clear his name and one cannot allow these false allegations simply to remain out there, and people who make false allegations to have the freedom to continue to make them.
Dershowitz and the Duke of York were named in documents filed in a Florida court over how prosecutors handled a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein and Buckingham Palace has denied the woman's claims that she was forced by Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew.
