Tuesday morning, February 15, Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer announced a settlement in her case against Prince Andrew. She filed suit in August of 2021, alleging the duke of York sexually abused her when she was a minor in the early 2000s. Giuffre claimed billionaire Jeffrey Epstein facilitated the abuse and offered her to his friend the prince. In a letter sent to the federal judge overseeing the case, her lawyer David Boies wrote:
"Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew have reached an out of court settlement. The parties will file a stipulated dismissal upon Ms. Giuffre’s receipt of the settlement (the sum of which is not being disclosed). Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights. Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre’s character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks. It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years. Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others. He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims."
