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

[danny la rouge]

Who were the (four people)?

The 4 Jane Does? I think we only know one of their names.

 

[bluescreen]

American formal language is very odd <snippage>
His use of the word 'depose' earlier is very peculiar.

if "prince" andrew or his mum were to use that word it would have a wholly different meaning

Nah, it just means 'seek to make Dershowitz a deponent' or 'force him to make a deposition'. cf the US usage of the verb 'protest', where protesting say, Christianity, may equally mean protesting against it as declaring one's adherence. Context is all.

Mind you, in an amusing slip, he did say on CNN that he'd "categorically deny the truth".

No, the 4 men that were part of the original plea bargain by epstein which meant no charges would be brought against them.

Oh, right. No, we don't know that yet. Well, I don't.

I did.

Are the pages in the office copy stuck together already?

you had it last, you'd know

 

[laptop]

I've been out and bought my own copy.

Inside I find:
p5: A reference to the Mail online drooling over a 17-year-old
p6: "Asparamancer" Jemima Packington predicting "Royal family embroiled in a scandal"
p7: Eye cover from 2011 with Andrew announcing "Epstein is prepared to give you £11k" and Fergie asking "Is that for Eugenie or both of them?"

That's it. Nothing new. Odd.

 

[Diamond]

They didn't run anything about Rotherham either, despite having a large section devoted to local government.

Sometimes the Eye just has blind spots.

I wouldn't read too much into it (no pun intended).

Actually, even if it is private eye, that's rather good.

Buckingham Palace has issued a strong denial that the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, has been involved in bizarre hill marching based sexual practices.

Perhaps the Swiss won't easily agree to extradition as easily as the British, he's detested here.

A roundup on Epstein from the Graun, drawing on several sources including the Vanity Fair article but containing only internal links. Nevertheless, a useful overview of the world in which our noble Prince dallied.

Only tangentially relevant but also worth a look for more background on Epstein's modus operandi, the chilling follow-up to Vicky Ward's Vanity Fair article:

More on Dershowitz from Electronic Intifada.

With the police investigation heating up in 2006, Epstein’s team went on the offensive, bullying and harassing witnesses, victims and their families into silence.

Going far beyond the typical role of a lawyer, Dershowitz mobilized a pre-emptive smear campaign against the victims, mining their pages on the social network MySpace for comments relating to marijuana and alcohol use, which he printed out and compiled into dossiers for the police and state attorney’s office in a salacious attempt to tarnish the credibility of Epstein’s accusers.

Dershowitz hired private investigators to track and dig up dirt on at least one of the underage girls who accused Epstein of raping her. The girl, a high school student, reported that one of the private investigators had impersonated a police officer while asking her questions. In a letter from Dershowitz to the Palm Beach police chief,obtained by The Guardian, Dershowitz attached a copy of the girl’s MySpace page, noting “her apparent fascination with marijuana,” and expressed fears “that she, an accomplished drama student, might try to mislead [the private investigators] as successfully as she had misled others.”

While Dershowitz schemed against Epstein’s victims, witnesses and the victims’ families complained of being followed, photographed, harassed, threatened and offered money in exchange for their refusal to cooperate with the police investigation.

Former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, who grew increasingly frustrated with the escalating campaign of intimidation by Epstein’s lawyers, went on to testify that he was told by private investigators that Dershowitz ordered background checks on him and Detective Joe Recarey. Reiter added that he later discovered he and Recarey had been placed under surveillance but he was unable to determine who was behind it.

More revelations. Diary released. No doubt forensics will prove the time of writing.

“He was the most incredibly hideous dancer I had ever seen and not to mention how embarrassing it was to have to be the one he was smashing pelvics with, even if he was a prince.”

“We only stayed at the club for a little over an hour before his highness was dripping from sweat and ready to embark to another quieter setting, where we could get to know each other better, and from the way he was fondling me on the dance floor, I knew that was a man’s polite way of saying he wanted to intimately get acquainted."

BBC news headline: Diary Of Lies Released By Lying Whore In Doomed Attempt To Besmirch Valiant Prince.

 

[brogdale]

Prince Andrew considering public statement about sex allegations
Duke of York understood to be deciding on whether to make speech at Davos forum over alleged ‘sexual relations’ with 17-year-old linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

Lol...desperate.

I see the loathsome sycophant Baron Cunt of Islamingham has wedged his tongue right up there...

Sir Digby Jones, former director general of the CBI and trade minister under Gordon Brown’s Labour government, defended the prince’s attendance, saying he was “innocent until proven guilty”.

Which is not really correct anyway. Someone has said York is a rapey nonce. If that's not true he take take action to clear his name; then, if successful, he would be able to claim he was innocent.

Details may be released about the efforts Windsor went to on behalf of his nonce chum. Some of the photos in the piece domt show him in a flattering light.

Lawyers acting for the woman who alleges she was forced by a billionaire financier to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 are formally requesting that he respond to her accusations under oath.

A letter addressed to Andrew at Buckingham Palace asking him to take part in a two-hour interview was filed with a court in Florida on Wednesday.

It features a photograph of Andrew with his arm around Virginia Roberts, referred to in court as Jane Doe No 3, who last month alleged that she was made to have sexual relations with Andrew by his friend Jeffrey Epstein, a former hedge fund tycoon and convicted sex offender.

“This letter is a formal request … to interview you, under oath, regarding interactions that you had with Jane Doe No 3 beginning in approximately early 2001,” the letter states.

Odds on that happening...

 

[Zabo]

I heard Digby Jones saying on R4 that Andrew Windsor is doing a great deal for young people. I can't quite remember in which particular role.

Update on the lawyer letter. Apparently, following the advice of Elvis Presley, it has been returned to sender by B Palace - unopened.

Looks like he issued another denial during a speech at Davos....where he is not representing the UK or anyone, he's there in a private capacity. Which I think is a fib.

Isn't it about time he had a carefully scripted, state-controlled interview?

 

[bemused]

When is says papers filed in court, what have they actually filed for? Criminal charges or are they suing him?
