A hearing will be held today via video conference in which the press and members of the public will be able to listen by telephone. It is expected that Prince Andrew's lawyers will urge Judge Lewis Kaplin to drop the charges after citing the settlement which would include the Prince.
Giuffre's lawyers have made it clear that they will argue that the settlement is "irrelevant" to her civil case against Prince Andrew and the case should continue.
Giuffre sued Prince Andrew last year after she alleged he sexually assaulted her in 2001 when she was 17 and legally a minor. He has not been criminally charged.
The assaults are alleged to have happened at Epstein's home in New York, his private residence in the US Virgin Islands, and at Ghislaine Maxwell's London home.
Ghislaine Maxwell who was Jeffrey Epstein's partner has been found guilty of trafficking and recruiting teenage girls for Epstein to abuse. She is expected to be put on suicide watch in prison awaiting her sentence.
Maxwell introduced Epstein to Prince Andrew in the 1990s.
Epstein was found dead in his cell after committing suicide in 2019 after being charged with child sex trafficking charges. Explore more on these topics:
