New York | A woman who is among Jeffrey Epstein’s most vocal accusers received $US500,000 ($695,025) in 2009 to resolve a lawsuit in which she accused him of repeatedly sexually abusing her when she was a teenager, according to a settlement agreement unsealed on Monday (Tuesday AEDT).

The agreement was made public as part of a lawsuit filed by the woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, against Prince Andrew, who was friendly with Epstein and who Ms Giuffre has said raped her when she was 17.
