A trial resulting from an American woman’s claims that Prince sexually abused her when she was 17 would probably occur late next year, a judge said.

It is difficult to immediately set a trial date because of courthouse coronavirus protocols that limit how many trials can occur at once, but US District Judge Lewis A Kaplan said a trial date would likely fall between September and December 2022.
