Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre has sued Prince Andrew in a New York federal court on Monday.
Roberts Giuffre accuses the royal of sexually assaulting her at Epstein's mansion when she was 17, according to the lawsuit.
The suit seeks damages for battery and emotional distress.
The lawsuit was filed mere days before the two-year anniversary of Epstein's death in a New York jail and just before the expiration of a state law that allows victims of childhood sexual abuse to sue despite the statute of limitations, according to ABC News.
A spokesperson for Prince Andrew did not immediately return a request from Insider for comment.
