Prince Andrew Reached Deep Into His Pockets To Settle Sex Abuse Scandal

According to newly filed court papers, Prince Andrew has resolved a sexual abuse complaint brought by complainant Virginia Giuffre in federal court in Manhattan.

Giuffre’s attorney David Boies wrote a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan explaining, “We write jointly with counsel for defendant to advise the Court that the parties reached a settlement.”

The amount of the settlement will not be revealed, according to the document, but Queen Elizabeth II’s middle son will make a significant payment to Giuffre’s foundation in support of victims’ rights.

In a civil suit filed in August, Giuffre claims that the Duke of York sexually abused her three times when she was under the age of 18 at the behest of late financier Jeffrey Epstein and notorious British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
