NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. judge has dismissed the sex abuse lawsuit brought by an American woman against Britain’s Prince Andrew after the parties settled. The federal judge in New York signed papers Tuesday ending the litigation at the request of the lawyers. The lawsuit cannot be refiled. The lawyers announced a deal three weeks ago in which the prince would donate to Virginia Giuffre’s charity and declare he never meant to malign her character. The judge had given both sides until March 17 to complete the deal or he would set a trial date. Giuffre accused Andrew of sexually abusing her while she traveled with financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2001 when she was 17.
