No one is above the law: Police commissioner says files on Prince Andrew being reviewed

London Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has said that her department is reviewing files on Prince Andrew because "No one is above the law."

She said this during an interview after the Duke of York was sued for a  sexual assault in the US.

In an interview on a British radio station, Cressida said on Thursday that the Metropolitan Police are reviewing the case against the son of Queen Elizabeth.

She said that this was a review of material police already have, adding, "At the moment there is no investigation."

“As a result of what’s going on, I’ve asked my team to have another look at the material,” Dick said Thursday. “No one is above the law,' she said.

The statement comes days after Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Andrew of raping her when she was a minor.

She said she was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking scheme, filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew.

The complainant's attorney has also warned Prince Andrew against thumbing his nose at courts.
