- 9 years ago
Buckingham Palace has stepped up its denials that Prince Andrew has sex with an underage girl.
It's gone as far as to name the alleged victim, who had wanted anonymity, according to Briton's Sunday papers.
The palace had already denied the accusations, which came out in court documents filed in Florida.
They allege a disgraced American financier -- Jeffrey Epstein -- forced the girl, ID'ed by the palace as Virginia Roberts, to have sex with the Duke of York in New York and London
-- as well as on a private Caribbean island that was part of an orgy with other underaged girls.
Also named in the allegation is famed Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
He's among several figures in the court filing linked to Epstein.
