Prince Andrew has avoided another sexual assault trial after Johanna Sjoberg, who accused him of sexual abuse, missed the deadline to file her claim. His relief may be short-lived as new evidence is set to be presented in court on January 2, 2024, relating to a defamation case brought against Jeffrey Epstein. The evidence includes testimony from more than 170 people, and Prince Andrew may face further potentially damning claims. The Duke of York has been named in the case, and testimony from 170 people is set to be made public, including the allegations made by Sjoberg and Virginia Giuffre. Despite his relief, Andrew's hopes of a positive start to 2024 and a return to public life will be short-lived as the new evidence is set to be made public.
