PRINCE Andrew’s sex abuse accuser tried to extort millions out of Victoria’s Secret boss Les Wexner, a court has heard.
Virginia Roberts, who says she slept with the royal three times, was accused of claiming she had been abused by Mr Wexner – who founded the lingerie brand – to obtain money.

The claim was made in a court case involving Miss Roberts and 81-year-old Alan Dershowitz – a prominent lawyer who she also alleges abused her.
Dershowitz had previously claimed: “Roberts made up the accusations out of whole cloth in order to obtain millions of dollars from Leslie Wexner.”
His lawyers told a Manhattan court on Tuesday that the Wexner allegations Miss Roberts had made were relevant to Dershowitz’s own case against her.
