For the first time, respected attorney David Boies explored how Prince Andrew and Virginia Roberts' deal with her allegations of sexual assault came about.

Prince Andrew's sex assault lawyer, Virginia Giuffre, has stated that it is unlikely that the Duke will reopen the civil case. In a civil lawsuit brought against him in the United States without accepting responsibility, Duke of York, 62, paid a rumored £10 million settlement to Ms Roberts, now known as Giuffre last year. He has maintained his innocence, but is now considering reopening the case in order to reverse the out-of-court deal and clear his name. David Boies, Ms Giuffre's attorney, said on Talk TV that if he comes back he's going to be exposed to exact same scrutiny, essentially the same deposition, and the exact same trial that caused him to settle in the first place.'

Ghislaine Maxwell, the lawyer representing Prince Andrew's sex assault accuser Virginia Roberts (right, with Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell), has described her as a "very sad individual." Last year, the Duke of York paid Ms Roberts, now known as Giuffre, a rumored £10 million settlement, but not accepting responsibility in the United States. He has defended his innocence. David Boies (left), a Ms Roberts' advocate, said he had no idea why Maxwell and Prince Andrew spoke out (inset, Maxwell during an interview from prison) as it 'undercut their credibility.' On Talk TV, Piers Morgan said, "One of the things that have been a mystery to me throughout this is how they live.' With Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, they explain how they do the things they do publicly.' Isn't that helps them; it just undercuts their credibility.'

Prince Andrew's child exploitation lawyer says that the Duke of York avoided going to court for a photo

Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew's child exploitation lawyer, said there was "solid evidence" in the lawsuit. If US prosecutors had wanted to, David Boies said they may have pressed more charges against the Duke of York. Andrew avoided court because the photo of him with the then-17-year-old Ms Giuffre made him a less credible witness in the case, according to the lawyer, who maintains that they never met. Ms Giuffre paid a reported £10 million settlement last year in a civil lawsuit brought against him in the United States without admitting guilt and maintaining his innocence, and reportedly contesting the decision. As a result of the scandal, Andrew was compelled to step away from royal duties in 2019 and is unlikely to play a formal role in his brother's coronation.

Ghislaine Maxwell's gripes about prison food were 'trivial,' according to Virginia Roberts' counsel

Vegan Ghislaine Maxwell moaned that the vegetarian food she gets at FCI Tallahassee in Florida is bland and mostly beans and tofu. Maxwell's prison charges, according to lawyer David Boies, who represents accuser Virginia Roberts, are 'trivial.' Maxwell refused to apologize to her victims and said she hopes they have a "good and prosperous life," Boies says, indicating that she is in jail. Prison food was "beyond tasteless," the former socialite, who once dined at the world's best restaurants, said, because there was no salt and pepper to it. The famous picture of Prince Andrew and Roberts taken in 2010 at her London townhouse was fake, according to Maxwell, 61.

Rowena Chiu, 48, who was born and raised in Hertfordshire but now lives in California, attempted suicide twice after Weinstein allegedly threatened to rape her in a Venice hotel room when she was working as his PA in 1998. Her story is told in a recent Hollywood film She Said, with Angela Yeoh playing her on film. Chiu says she has concerns about Weinstein's long-serving lawyers, including David Boies, Lanny Davis, and Steve Hutensky, who advised the disgraced producer to request women to sign non-disclosure agreements prohibiting them from speaking out.
