Accuser says Duke played ‘guess game’
THE Duke of York’s accuser claims he played a guessing game about her age when they first met.
Virginia Giuffre also says in new documentary series Surviving Jeffrey Epstein that Andrew told her “Oh, my daughters are a few years younger than you”.
She claims she was 17 when they were introduced in London, and describes him as an “abuser” and “not the prince from the fairy tale stories you read”.
She alleges the duke had sex with her three times including when she was 17, a minor under US law.
Andrew categorically denies he has had any form of sexual contact or relationship with her.
Epstein killed himself last year while in a New York prison awaiting trial.
EVIL gunman Brenton Tarrant looks calm and unemotional as he listens in court to the distraught families of his mosque massacre victims.
The 29-year-old is due to be sentenced for slaughtering 51 Muslim worshippers and trying to murder 40 others in New Zealand last year.
He is expected to become the first person in the country’s history to get a life sentence with no chance of parole.
Tarrant has admitted carrying out the attacks at two mosques in Christchurch, while he live-streamed it on Facebook.
Snipers were positioned on the roof of the High Court in the city as the four-day hearing began.
The Australian white supremacist was dressed in a grey prison-issued tracksuit and flanked by three police officers. He remained silent as relatives of victims told the court how his actions affected them.
Maysoon Salama, whose son Atta Elayyan, 33, was killed, told him: “You thought you could break us but you failed miserably. We became more determined and united than ever. Atta is gone but he will never be forgotten. I can’t forgive you.
“You gave yourself the authority to take the souls of 51 people. Our only crime in your eyes is that we are Muslims. You killed your own humanity and I don’t think the world will forgive you for your horrible crime. May you get the severest punishment for your evil act in this life, and hereafter.”
Gamal Fouda, imam of the Al Noor mosque which Tarrant attacked first, told him he was “misguided and misled”.
He described seeing the “hate in the eyes of a brainwashed terrorist”. Survivor
Tarrant’s headcam of his killing spree
Khaled Majed Abd’el Rauf Alnobani pointed at Tarrant and said: “My heart is broken but we are not broken. We are united. You have done that and I thank you for that.”
Victim Ashraf Ali’s son told the court: “I have flashbacks, seeing dead bodies all around me. Blood everywhere.”
More than 60 people will give victim impact statements this week.
Tarrant’s massacre began when he drove to the Al Noor mosque on March 15, 2019, and started shooting during Friday prayers.

WHOSE SON ATTA ELAYYAN WAS AMONG THOSE KILLED
Hawes said Tarrant fired “two precisely aimed shots” at three-year-old Mucaad Ibrahim as he clung to his father’s leg.
He then drove to the nearby Linwood Islamic Centre where he shot two people outside before being chased away by heroic bystanders.
The court hearing was told Tarrant had been planning to attack a third place of worship when he was stopped.
Mr Hawes said Tarrant wanted to create fear among the small Muslim minority in New Zealand.
He had planned for the attacks by carrying out reconnaissance on his targets, including flying a drone over the Al Noor mosque.
The attacks, which sparked revulsion across the globe, led to the introduction of strict gun laws. Tarrant, representing himself, will be sentenced by Justice Cameron Mander on Thursday.
He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to 51 counts of murder, 40 attempted murders and a single charge of terrorism.
