Giuffre claimed that Andrew had sexually abused her when she was a minor at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion and on his private island, Little St. James.
The lawsuit also claimed that Andrew, Epstein, and his longtime companion Ghislaine Maxwell forced Giuffre to engage in sexual intercourse with Andrew at Maxwell’s London home.
Giuffre had feared repercussions if she disobeyed the three because of "their powerful connections, wealth and authority," the lawsuit said.
In the statement on Tuesday, Andrew said it was "known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years," and that he "regrets his association with Epstein and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others."
Following the lawsuit, Andrew was stripped of his military titles and the "His Royal Highness" title, as well as his royal charities. He was also ordered to "not to undertake any public duties."
