Further details are unclear, and the Thames Valley Police has not addressed the allegations in a formal statement, but the outlet has learned they are looking into the claims amid a bigger investigation. At this time, it’s unknown if this was reported to police at the time or more recently.
According to the outlet, investigators are going through a list of key witnesses, such as former cabinet ministers, royal officials, and senior civil servants, to obtain evidence from his time as a trade envoy for the UK. It’s also believed detectives were given access to Scotland Yard’s files on the late Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her beginning when she was a teenager.
Simply put, it sounds like there’s a lot more to come on this front! Thoughts?! Tell us (below)!
