Prince Andrew Settles Sexual Abuse Lawsuit With Virginia Giuffre

According to a new court filing in Manhattan, Prince Andrew, the disgraced second son of Queen Elizabeth II, has settled a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, a woman who maintained that she was trafficked to him by financier Jeffrey Epstein when she was only seventeen. The amount Andrew will pay Ms. Giuffre is confidential, but British newspaper “The Telegraph” reports the settlement as 12 million pounds (approx. 16.5 million dollars), and that the Queen will assist Andrew with the payment, though his involvement in this sordid tale has cost him his public role as a working member of the Royal family. Shortly after the settlement, Andrew released a statement acknowledging the victim’s suffering, but did not admit any wrongdoing.

Of course, since being stripped of his title and Royal duties after his relationship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein came to light, Andrew may now no longer actually use the title “Prince Andrew.” He’s now simply the “Duke of York,” although perhaps a more appropriate title would be the “Puke of Yuck.”

Anyway, one thing’s for sure, the settlement of this case will finally make it clear to a lot of people that in the eyes of the law, molesting underage victims of sex traffickers is a most heinous, disgusting, and evil crime - unless you're extremely wealthy and very well-connected, in which case it’s then - pretty much OK.
