A mother of three who has accused billionaire Jeffrey Epstein of luring her into a sex ring when she was a teenager wants to question the registered sex offender in court about allegedly introducing her to Prince Andrew, her lawyers said at a court hearing.

Virginia Giuffre, 33, has said she is a victim of Epstein, 64, a convicted pedophile who pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor and spent 13 months behind bars.

Her accusations rocked the British crown when she said Prince Andrew, 57, who is sixth in line to the throne, had sex with her when she was 17 - below the age of consent in Florida, where she filed her complaint. Buckingham Palace has always strenuously denied the accusations of misconduct. The Duke of York was never accused of any offence.

Giuffre has since filed a lawsuit against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's ex-girlfriend, whom she accuses of defamation for discrediting her accusations publicly. Her legal team is seeking to call Epstein as a witness as part of the suit against Maxwell, the New York Post reported Friday.

The mother's legal team detailed questions they would like to ask the billionaire, who had to register as a sex offender after his 2008 guilty plea, in Manhattan court.

One of these questions focuses on Giuffre's allegations against Prince Andrew.

Attorney Paul Cassell said during a court hearing Thursday he plans to ask Epstein about a meeting with 'Prince Andrew the Duke of York in March 2001 in London,' the New York Post wrote.

'On March 9, 2001, did you fly on a private jet from Tangiers to London with Ms Giuffre and Ms Maxwell?' the lawyer wants to ask Epstein.

He also plans to grill the billionaire about flight logs that he claims contain details of more than 23 trips Maxwell and Epstein took with Giuffre when she was underage.

Giuffre, who now lives with her husband and children close to Colorado Springs, previously said in court papers Prince Andrew had slept with her three times, including during one orgy on Epstein's private Caribbean island.

She claimed other instances took place at a private house in London and at Epstein's New York mansion, according to court papers.

Giuffre said she met Prince Andrew for the first time after flying with Epstein to Paris, then Spain, then Tangier before landing in London, where she said she was taken to Maxwell's home.

One picture, said to have been taken by Epstein during Andrew's first encounter with the girl in March 2001 shows the Prince with his arm around her waist and Maxwell looks on.

'The following morning, Ghislaine came in. She was chirpy and jumped on the bed saying, 'Get up, sleepyhead. You've got a big day. We've got to go shopping. You need a dress as you're going to dance with a Prince tonight,' ' Giuffre said previously.

She also recounted going to Burberry with Maxwell, where she said the socialite bought her a bag, and to other designer stores.

Buckingham Palace responded to Giuffre's accusations against Prince Andrew by saying they were 'false and without foundation'.

Giuffre previously made a bid to join a court case against the US government over a 2008 plea deal that saw Epstein escape a 20 year jail sentence.

In that case, the judge threw out the claims Ms Guiffre had made in court documents against Prince Andrew and other public figures calling them 'lurid and unnecessary' and ordering them to be struck from the public record.

The trial stemming from Giuffre's defamation suit against Maxwell is scheduled for May 15.

'We are going to have jurors who are going to hear Ms Giuffre saying she was sex trafficked,' Cassell said Thursday in court, according to the New York Post. 'They are going to wonder, what does Epstein have to say?'

Maxwell's lawyers, meanwhile, said Giuffre's team only wanted to call Epstein as a witness so that he'll plead the Fifth Amendment, saying it would reflect poorly on their client.

Previously a spokesperson for Maxwell has strongly denied the allegations, and she has previously made clear that Epstein's crimes were committed long before she had dealings with him.
