Epstein settlement with accuser who filed lawsuit against Prince Andrew to be made public

A 2009 settlement agreement between deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, who alleges she was abused by Epstein and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was under 18 years old, will be made public next week, Reuters reported.

U.S. District Judges Lewis Kaplan and Loretta Preska on Wednesday ordered that the agreement be released on or around Jan. 3, saying they found no reason to keep it sealed, per the wire service.

Giuffre has brought a lawsuit against Andrew, saying that she was forced to have sexual contact with the Duke of York when she was still underage. Andrew, who has expressed regret over his "ill-judged association" with Epstein, has continuously denied her allegations.

Andrew's attorney, Andrew Brettler, has argued that the settlement between Epstein and Giuffre shields Andrew from her lawsuit because it covered "royalty" and was meant to cover all future claims she made about the financier's alleged sex trafficking scheme, according to Reuters.

"Prince Andrew's attempt now to use the 2009 release as a get out of jail free card shows how desperate he is to dodge and duck the facts of what he did," a lawyer for Giuffre, David Boies, has countered

“Andrew’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, has argued that the settlement between Epstein and Giuffre shields Andrew from her lawsuit because it covered “royalty” and was meant to cover all future claims she made about the financier’s alleged sex trafficking.”

Dream on.

“”Prince Andrew’s attempt now to use the 2009 release as a get out of jail free card shows how desperate he is to dodge and duck the facts of what he did,” a lawyer for Giuffre, David Boies, has countered.”

Yes.

But keep in mind Boies is deep state scum.

Not hopding my breath. There is very little evidence, here and abroad, that there is justice for victims of the ruling class, the elite.
O i am sure they will do their usual. You can bet they are hiding the truly depraved stuff. But they will make us happy with a bone to knaw. Meanwhile we get no meat.

I think the lengths she went to keep her son out of pedophile jail proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is not true. She knew. She influenced. The crown has to go.

Even reading the name "David Boies" forces one to take a shower.

The feebles made sure that the hard drives in Epstein's safe got "bricked" as evidence.

Everything that has been alleged about those mercenary pond scum over the last 30 or 40 years is true.

All it amounts to a big pay-day for some teenage hookers and their lawyers’ decades after the fact.

Last night Dershowitz was asked to comment on the Maxwell trial (I think it was on Tucker’s show... Will Cain is subbing for him) and to paraphrase as best I can, he said that the reason Maxwell was convicted was that the prosecutor only went with their strongest 4 witnesses. He of course went to to say that these didn’t include Giuffre because she is a proven liar.... Dershowitz of course would say this because of what has been leveled at him but one has to wonder as to what else is all going to drop down the road.

How about settlements between BillyBob Blythe (head of the Clinton Crime Family) and various underage girls?

I,personally,couldn't care less about Prince Andrew.

Yes,IIRC Dershowitz has been mentioned in regard to the Lolita Express.But he doesn't strike me as the type.I think he's far too busy with law books and TV appearances to worry about young bits of fluff. I recall reading that he did legal work for Epstein...which is certainly believable.

Rule of law? Equal justice under the law? Due process? Pfft!

What a joke. Sexual predators like Slick Willey, Drew and the like walk while others go to prison for child sex trafficking.

Power, position, money...get out of jail free card.

Shameful

Dershowitz is actually one of the very few democrats I like.

That said, if he was involved in trafficking child/teens for sex, he should face the music.

17 year old Giuffre knew exactly what she was doing. Give me a break. Not that this exornerates Epstein/Maxwell. But she would be on OnlyFans/"sugar daddy" websites if she was 17 now, trading sex for money and favors.

This entire case is nonsense until THE BOOK is released in full, and the real powerful men who went to the Island are exposed.

David Boies is the attorney who wears a dark three piece suite and sneakers in the court room. A total weirdo.

That book Should make billions if written, but they will never allow it to be written. Maxwell won’t make it past the forward. She’ll be reunited with Jeff, Ron, Vince, and the others long before the ink is dry! I’m hoping Dinesh makes the movie !!
