PRINCE Andrew knew his sex-abuse accuser had been trafficked to him, newly-released court documents claim.

A hearing on a motion by the Duke to dismiss the civil case by Virginia Giuffre was held in New York last week.

In a transcript from it, the royal’s lawyer Andrew Brettler tells the judge: “She contends that Prince Andrew was aware that she was being trafficked.”

“Those individuals would be part of the same enterprise.

“It wasn’t as if she is alleging that this was some secret trafficking arrangement.”
