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

[Athos]

This would be his stumbling block.



Because its apparent to any fule that he's a sweaty nonce.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if the claim was struck out; rather she'll probably be required to provide more specifics of what she's alleging.

 

[Raheem]

It's most likely mainly about causing delay and building up costs, I'd guess. Presumably, there will have to be an additional hearing to consider whether the claim should be struck down.

 

[not-bono-ever]

he's hardly keeping this out of the headlines is he ? claiming that's she's in it for the money is an aggresive stance to take. Hes fucked here whatever, but thats hardly news. Skint also for the purposes of the trial.

Second story on the BBC website this morning, using that now famous photo which couldn't possibly be him

Prince Andrew asks US court to dismiss case​

There's also a quote from the lawyers about what they allege the "agreement" contains

The filing says Ms Giuffre settled sex trafficking and abuse claims against Epstein in 2009 with a "broad release" negotiated by the convicted sex offender "insisting that it cover any and all persons who Giuffre identified as potential targets of future lawsuits, regardless of the merit - or lack thereof - to any such claims".

 

[andysays]

This last bit looks to me like a tacit admission of his involvement

The agreement, which remains sealed, is said to cover "royalty" - according to the document presented to the court.

 

[High Voltage]

Why didn't they just go the whole hog and exempt "any and all royalty whose initials contain A and W"

"Giuffre has initiated this baseless lawsuit against Prince Andrew to achieve another payday at his expense and at the expense of those closest to him. Epstein's abuse of Giuffre does not justify her public campaign against Prince Andrew," the document states.

Fucking cunt. Another payday. Rapist bastard.

That was the bit that shocked me, not a good look going after the victim like that.

 

[TopCat]

We are very near to London Bridge. A lot of media shit I think has been held back in deference of the hag.

That jumped out at me. Talk about crass. What a prick.

Has he and his team any idea of how the above is perceived?

 

[TopCat]

It reminds me of the bit in that interview where he offered not a jot of sympathy.

 

[TopCat]

Just terming her compensation for abuse and rape by Epstein as a payday is really fucking shocking.

He's living on a different plane. He probably thinks he has an absolute right to rape people. He is royalty, after all.

 

[brogdale]

Just terming her compensation for abuse and rape by Epstein as a payday is really fucking shocking.

Shocking, in the sense that their desperation has drawn such a public expression of his psychopathy, but not totally shocking that it reveals his mindset.

 

[Athos]

Has he and his team any idea of how the above is perceived?

I think he's gone full 'US-litigator-gloves-off.' He knows he's lost in the court of public opinion, but will do whatever it takes to avoid an enforceable judgement ageist him in these proceedings

 

[TopCat]

The US press are less than deferential in reporting.

Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, said the woman was seeking financial gain from one of the world’s best known royal families.

He's already pretty much lost in the court of public opinion, but this latest will hopefully remove any remaining shred of dignity he might have hoped to salvage.

 

[dessiato]

Has he and his team any idea of how the above is perceived?

They can't have, if they did they'd know to keep their, and especially his, mouths firmly closed.

 

[Serge Forward]

What a cunt. I can't help feeling he'll get away with this one, especially as it's a civil case and, y'know, prior "agreement" like. But as Nonce Andrew's strategy is pretty much "What if I am a nonce? But you agreed not to take Epstein's fellow nonces to court".... is there a possibility of it reopening a criminal case again?

 

[Saul Goodman]

is there a possibility of it reopening a criminal case again?

In the UK? No. He's already proved he's exempt from UK law.

Some of them probably do but he's a bit Trumpian and doesn't listen to the people around him or he would never have given that car crash of an interview

 

[MrCurry]

Either that or Emily Maitless has been appointed to run the legal team after her sterling success on the media strategy

 

[Orang Utan]

Some of them probably do but he's a bit Trumpian and doesn't listen to the people around him or he would never have given that car crash of an interview

And he initially thought it went quite well

 

[Serge Forward]

In the UK? No. He's already proved he's exempt from UK law.

True, but I was thinking about America.

Too fucking honourable.

 

[TopCat]

She is a Tory and I think started wanting to be supportive. Then he started talking.

 

[TopCat]

What’s this stuff about him having no assets?

 

[Athos]

What’s this stuff about him having no assets?

He doesn't own anything. Mum provides a house, and he just ponces of people for holidays, meals, golf, etc., (possibly having transferred other assets out of reach).
