Britain’s Prince Andrew has settled a US lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager, potentially sparing him further embarrassment in a lurid case that helped precipitate his fall from grace.

The settlement, which includes an undisclosed payment, was revealed on Tuesday in a filing in Manhattan federal court,where Giuffre had sued the Duke of York last August.Giuffre’s case had focused on Andrew’s friendship with the late Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and sex offender who she said also sexually abused her.

“It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years,” the filing said. The royal family in January removed Andrew’s military titles and royal patronages and said he will no longer be known as “His Royal Highness.”For now, his legal exposure in the United States to similar claims appears to be over.

The office of US Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan has been investigating Epstein’s sex trafficking and considered Andrew at least a potential witness, or “person of interest.” She also said that in Manhattan, Maxwell forced her to sit on Andrew’s lap as he touched her, and Andrew forced her to engage in sex acts against her will.

Epstein had paid Giuffre $500,000 to end her Florida lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse, without admitting liability.
