Law & Crime report..
Prince Andrew has agreed to concede that his alleged victim Virginia Giuffre successfully served him with a lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was 17 years old, potentially ending what a U.S. judge recently signaled would have been a losing battle over a technicality.
In a joint stipulation released on Friday, the Duke of York and Giuffre would agree that service “shall be deemed effected” as of Sept. 21, one day after a court filing indicated that the prince was served through his U.S. lawyer Andrew B. Brettler.
During a hearing on Sept. 13, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan indicated that the prince would not successfully avoid the lawsuit by ducking court papers.
