Virginia Giuffre
The Duke of Sussex wrote about the "sex crimes" allegations in his new memoir "Spare," which officially came out on Tuesday.
The lawyers sent a document to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan that would dismiss the August lawsuit once he signs it.
The Duke of York has just settled the high-profile case out of court after months of back and forth.
The two parties reached an out-of-court settlement, according to a notice filed on Tuesday.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The former Duke of York has strenuously denied Giuffre’s allegations, and attempted to get the lawsuit tossed.
His father, Prince Charles, did the same thing a few days ago.
Virginia Giuffre filed the lawsuit against the royal in August.
The deal between Epstein and Virginia Roberts, now known as Virginia Giuffre, contained a paragraph that said it protects anyone “who could have been included as a potential defendant” from lawsuits filed by Giuffre.
Attorneys for both Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre said they expected to depose eight to 12 individuals.
The document is a 2008 settlement agreement that the Prince's lawyer says would protect him against claims that he sexually abused an American when she was 17.
