Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit

It seems he may be party to the deal that Paedstein signed, which might result in the case going away very soon.
If he has wriggle room the damage is already done. The public are very much of the ‘if you’ve got nothing to hide’ mentality and don’t like nonces. Albeit some are boot lickers that won’t accept any hint of guilt.

I'd be close to 100% certain that it's not possible for him to be a party to the agreement, because it's an agreement made in court in a case he wasn't involved in.

Think it is more likely that VG agreed not to sue a category of persons along the lines of "Jeffrey Epstein Ghislaine Maxwell, his her companies, agents, pets and bingo friends", and the lawyers want to argue that Andrew is somehow covered by this.

Think it's also likely they don't expect it to fly, but want to cause a delay and add to the costs (because the greater the costs become, the riskier it is for VG not to settle).

(Edited post because the agreement was with Maxwell, rather than Epstein, apparently.)

Keep up. the whole point of the latest developments is that the judge is refusing to unseal that agreement so he cant have a copy, so he is going to have to enter into the court process.
 
Prostitution and Exploitation of Prostitution | The Crown Prosecution Service

Has a few possible offences. The use of an exploited person for sexual purposes offence is strict liability so the nonce would be guilty whether or not he knew the one providing the service was exploited. However it appears to have been introduced after the alleged "meeting". Ms Maxwell could potentially fall into some other offences though..
Sadly, those offences all post-date the events in question.

He allegedly raped her in 2001, so before those prostitution laws came in to play. Rape on the other hand was very much a thing in 2001…
 
Yeah, outfits like Matrix Churchill could quite rightly say no, but he was represented in court yesterday (video conference) by some LA attorney, surely the judge could just dump the papers on him and move on?

Seems the judge has listened to me and stated the papers can be served to the LA lawyer with the big hair.

Game on.

The chances of proving beyond reasonable doubt that she did not consent, and that he knew that, are, sadly, vanishingly small. The best chances of holding him to account are civil proceedings and 'the court of public opinion.'

You'd think wouldn't you? But then Epstein did manage to make a deal to accept a token conviction in exchange for immunity for any and all nameless co-conspirators. Although that deal was thrown out in the end, it wasn't thrown out because of the insanity of giving blanket immunity but because of a procedural error.
 
Mirror suggesting he's staying in Scotland to avoid getting the papers served:

Must admit, there's no evidence he's specifically hiding in Scotland as opposed to hiding in one of the other castles (to avoid the papers). Seems like a bit of journalistic guesswork. Same time, every bit of the story pushes the windsors further into unexpected territory: accused of rape... does an interview on TV about whether he raped a trafficked woman... legal proceedings start... tried to avoid receiving the papers. Fuck him, the nonce.
 
In its daily recap of the morning front pages, the BBC website appears to have forgotten to show the Mirror's today.

I'm sure it's just an oversight.

As the charming typeface mismatch makes clear, that is not the real Mirror front page but rather a humorously altered version of it.
