      <title>Prince Andrew sex assault case formally closed after settlement paid
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30280653/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York. A sexual assault lawsuit brought in New York against Prince Andrew by his longtime accuser Virginia Giuffre has been formally dismissed after the disgraced British royal paid a financial settlement, court documents showed Tuesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In February, the parties had settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, sparing the second son of Queen Elizabeth II the public humiliation of a trial.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both parties filed a "stipulation of dismissal" of the case in federal court in New York, which was signed by Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last month's agreement had stated that the parties would file a motion for dismissal "upon Ms Giuffre's receipt of the settlement," suggesting the settlement has been paid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Giuffre, 38, has said she had sex with Andrew when she was 17 -- a minor under US law -- after meeting him through the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2019, Epstein took his own life in a New York City jail cell, while awaiting his own trial for sex crimes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The prince, now 61, has not been criminally charged and has denied the allegations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Daily Telegraph&lt;/em&gt; newspaper reported that Andrew was to pay £10 million ($13.1 million) to Giuffre and £2 million to a charity for victims of sex trafficking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In January, Andrew was stripped of his honorary military titles as well as his remaining charitable roles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He withdrew from public life as a royal in 2019 after a widely ridiculed BBC interview in which he sought to vindicate himself of Giuffre's accusation.&lt;/p&gt;
