Duke of York returns after sex allegations

THE Duke of York has returned to official duties for the first time since sexual allegations against him were struck from US court records.

ANDREW visited the site of multinational paints firm AkzoNobel in Slough on Monday to highlight its support for a charity he has close associations with, the Outward Bound Trust.

The Duke looked relaxed during his trip to the headquarters of the company's best-known product range, Dulux paints.Claims that Andrew had sex with an underage teenager were removed from civil court records following a federal judge's ruling last week.The allegations made by Virginia Roberts - who claimed she was the sex slave of Andrew's former financier friend Jeffrey Epstein - were vehemently denied by the Duke.When asked if he was still happy to be associated with the Duke, Mr Pullen replied: "To be honest this is a long-standing engagement, he's the patron of the Outward Bound Trust, who we have a fantastic relationship with, and its great to have him here."The allegations were part of submissions made by lawyers acting for Ms Roberts who wanted to join an existing civil lawsuit.It was launched by two women, also alleged Epstein victims, against US federal prosecutors' handling of the financier's conviction for a sex offence.He was sentenced to 18 months in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution but lawyers for the women claim a secret plea deal he struck with prosecutors, granting him and any potential co-conspirators immunity from further prosecution, violated their clients' rights.US District Judge Kenneth Marra refused Ms Roberts permission to join the lawsuit, and said in his written judgment that the sex abuse details had no bearing on the lawsuit's goal of reopening the Epstein non-prosecution agreement.
