Prince Andrew has reached an out-of-court settlement regarding a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by accuser Virginia Giuffre last year. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffres charity in support of victims rights, read a notice of settlement from Giuffres lawyer, David Bois, which said it was on behalf of both parties.

Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffres character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks, it continued.

It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years, the notice filed Tuesday said, adding that 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.

The notice also said those involved would ask within 30 days for the case to be dismissed.
