Britain's Prince Andrew was sued on Monday for having allegedly on three occasions sexually abused a woman who has claimed she was trafficked for sex by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

周一,英国王子安德鲁因涉嫌三次性侵一名女子而被起诉,这名女子声称自己被已故金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦贩卖进行性交易。

In a civil complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Virginia Giuffre accuses Prince Andrew of having abused her in London about two decades ago when she was under 18 years old.

弗吉尼亚·吉弗尔向曼哈顿的美国地方法院提起民事诉讼,指控安德鲁王子大约20年前在伦敦虐待她,当时她还不到18岁。

The complaint says Andrew also abused her at Epstein's mansion2 on Manhattan's Upper East Side and on a private island that Epstein owned in the U.S. Virgin1 Islands.

起诉书称,安德鲁还曾在爱泼斯坦位于曼哈顿上东区的豪宅和爱泼斯坦在美属维尔京群岛拥有的一个私人岛屿上虐待她。

She has said Epstein kept her as a, quote, "sex slave" with help, telling the BBC that Epstein brought her to London to meet Andrew.

她说,爱普斯坦在他人协助下留她作为“性奴”,并告诉BBC,爱泼斯坦把她带到伦敦见安德鲁。

Epstein killed himself in a New York jail in 2019, awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

2019年,爱泼斯坦在等待性交易指控的审判中于在纽约一所监狱自杀。

A fund to compensate3 victims of his sexual abuses has completed the payout process, giving more than $121 million to about 138 people, the fund's administrator4 said on Monday.

一个旨在补偿性侵受害者的基金已经完成了支付程序,向大约138人提供了超过1.21亿美元补偿,该基金的管理人周一说道。
