EPSTEIN ACCUSER DENIES ANDREW PHOTO DOCTORED

WASHINGTON Lawyers for the Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre have denied claims that a photograph showing the Duke of York with his hand around her waist is a fake.

Two attorneys for Roberts Giuffre wrote to Prince Andrew in a letter dated Tuesday to contest the “troubling” suggestions that the 2001 image was doctored. Their letter countered comments from “sources close to” the Duke and circulated in the U.K. press that suggested he is taller and has “much chubbier” fingers than in the photo.

Roberts Giuffre has claimed she was made to have sex with the Duke when she was 17 after being recruited by Epstein, the wealthy financier.

The Duke has always vehemently denied the allegation.
