This Monday, in a New York courtroom, a pre-trial hearing began. The complainant was Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the defendant was Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. She alleges that when aged 17, she was introduced to the Prince by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein - and forced to have sex with him. Award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright digs into this remarkable case with the help of a panel of experts including Nazir Afzal, a former Chief Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service and expert on historical sex abuse cases, Dai Davies, ex head of the Metropolitan Police’s Royalty Protection Squad and Mail journalist Daniel Bates who is based in New York - and reported on the pre-trial hearing this week. What dangers lay ahead for the Duke, who denies any wrongdoing, and for how much longer can Scotland Yard delay launching a formal probe into Ms Giuffre’s allegations?
