A previously sealed $500,000 lawsuit settlement in 2009 between Jeffrey Epstein and an American woman that Prince Andrew claims protects him from an ongoing lawsuit was made public Monday.

The deal between Epstein and Virginia Roberts, now known as Virginia Giuffre, contained a paragraph that said it protects anyone “who could have been included as a potential defendant” from being sued by Giuffre.

Attorneys representing the prince have told a Manhattan federal court judge that releases Andrew and others from any purported liability from Giuffre's claim the prince sexually assaulted her multiple times in 2001 when she was 17.

The prince's lawyers deny the allegations.

Oral arguments over the request to dismiss the lawsuit without a trial are scheduled for Tuesday.
