Prince Andrew Asks Judge Kaplan To Dismiss Virginia Robert's Lawsuit

Prince Andrew Asks Judge Kaplan To Dismiss Virginia Robert's Lawsuit

Prince Andrew asked U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to dismiss the civil lawsuit filed against him by Virginia Giuffre, arguing that the case was legally flawed and barred by prior agreements. His legal team contended that a 2009 settlement Giuffre reached with Jeffrey Epstein included broad release language that shielded other potential defendants — including Andrew — from future claims. They also argued that the complaint failed to state a viable claim under federal sex-trafficking laws, asserting that Andrew had no knowledge of Epstein’s alleged trafficking operation and that Giuffre’s allegations lacked sufficient specificity. Additionally, they challenged the court’s jurisdiction, claiming Andrew’s limited contacts with New York were insufficient to justify the case being heard there.

Judge Kaplan ultimately rejected Andrew’s motion, ruling that the language in the Epstein settlement agreement did not automatically immunize the prince at the dismissal stage and that Giuffre’s complaint plausibly alleged claims under the relevant statutes. Kaplan emphasized that factual disputes — including the meaning and scope of the 2009 release — could not be resolved on a motion to dismiss and would require further proceedings. The ruling allowed the lawsuit to move forward into discovery, increasing pressure on Andrew and leading to intense public scrutiny. Shortly thereafter, the case was resolved through an out-of-court settlement, with Andrew denying wrongdoing but agreeing to a financial settlement and a statement expressing regret for his association with Epstein.
