Judge requests help from overseas authorities for Prince Andrew case

The Manhattan judge overseeing Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s sex abuse lawsuit against Prince Andrew has requested help from authorities in the UK and Australia to help facilitate depositions in the case. 

In a series of letters filed Monday, federal Judge Lewis Kaplan asked authorities in the UK for “international judicial assistance” in obtaining testimony from Robert Olney and Shukri Walker. 

Olney previously worked as Andrew’s assistant, and Walker has said in press interviews that she saw the embattled royal at a London nightclub around the same time Giuffre claims she was abused by him.
