London Police ‘Taking No Further Action’ Against Prince Andrew Despite Sexual Abuse Accusations
London’s Metropolitan Police will take no further action against Prince Andrew following the results of an investigation into his sexual assault accusations .
As we reported, Virginia Roberts Giuffre claims that Andrew forced her to have sex with him on three separate accusations between 1999 and 2002.
Giuffre, 38, spoke to PEOPLE previously saying, “I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”
“As a matter of procedure MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] officers reviewed a document released in August 2021 as part of a U.S. civil action. This review has concluded and we are taking no further action,” per CNN. “The Metropolitan Police Service continues to liaise with other law enforcement agencies who lead the investigation into matters related to Jeffrey Epstein.”

Sources close to Andrew reportedly told PEOPLE that the disgraced Prince continues to maintain his innocence,
“It comes as no surprise that the Met Police have confirmed that, having reviewed the sex assault claims against the Duke for a third time, they are taking no further action. Despite pressure from the media and claims of new evidence, the Met have concluded that the claims are not sufficient to warrant any further investigation. The Duke has always vigorously maintained his innocence and continues to do so.”
