Settlement Between Epstein, Prince Andrew Accuser Now Public

The private 2009 legal deal resolved allegations that Epstein had hired a woman as a teenager to be a sexual servant at his Palm Beach estate.

A woman who says she was sexually trafficked to Britain’s Prince Andrew by Jeffrey Epstein accepted $500,000 in 2009 to settle her lawsuit against the American millionaire and anyone else “who could have been included as a potential defendant,” according to a court record unsealed Monday.

The prince’s lawyers say that language should bar Virginia Giuffre from suing Prince Andrew now, even though he wasn’t a party to the original settlement.

The private 2009 legal deal resolved Giuffre's allegations that Epstein had hired her as a teenager to be a sexual servant at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
