What are all of you insinuating in here? I always offer people that accuse me off wrongdoing Β£650,000 even tough I didn't do anything. It's nice to share with others. end sarcasm

I would guess it's a "prid pro quo" situation in all honesty, they where both grown adults and lead each other on. Wrong? Perhaps not. Innocent and not on the edge or extramarital? Absolutely not. Unlawful? Probably not.

Bury it and move on.

While it's suspect on the surface, offering a financial settlement is a very common tactic in regards to avoiding backlash, regardless of whether you are actually guilty or not. Now I'm not saying for a second that him being cleared must mean he is innocent, but the money being offered really isn't evidence of any guilt like you'd think it would be.

Yep. People tend to forget this a lot. Even if a story is entirely false, the damage it can do before anyone figures that out is usually far higher than whatever money they offer up front.
