A US woman who says she was brought to Britain aged 17 to have sex with Prince Andrew has implored the British public to “stand beside her” and “not accept what has happened to her”.

Virginia Giuffre, one of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers, says she was trafficked to London by Epstein in 2001.

She describes how Epstein’s girlfriend told her what “to do for Andrew”.

The prince has “categorically” denied any sexual contact with Ms Giuffre.
