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

[Duncan2]

Well-I for one would quite like to know just how much of the folding stuff Andrew had to hand over to Giuffre to get off the hook.Strictly speaking its none of my business of course.

 

[MickiQ]

What ?? Is this another fucking distraction to get Boris off the hook? Just how much dirt does he have on people?

 

[Pickman's model]

No public admittance of any guilt. It may look bad still, but I call that a result for sweaty one. Shame he was never deposed. The amount paid no doubt will reflect that he avoided being deposed.

Bollocks is it a result for andrew. It's a very long way from his 'i will prove my innocence', he has been weighed and found wanting in the court of public opinion. He's lost far far more than he's won here.

$2,000,000 is my guess, quite possibly more

 

[Teaboy]

This was always the most likely outcome, its amazing that it got this far and the longer it dragged on the more damaging it was to him.

The court case looked like it could get really nasty so at least that's avoided now.

He doesn’t get a finding against him but he has very loudly failed to try to clear his name. The nonce.

Yeh noncey mcnonceface has been drummed out of decent society

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Sweaty nonce.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

That statement, admitting that Virginia Giuffre was a victim, and the nonce donating money to a victim's charity, pretty much says that he admits he's guilty, without officially admitting he's guilty.

It does.

I think lbj meant from the position he got himself into now. This probably was the best result he could hope for after the mess he's made of everything. Clearly settling earlier was the right move* but he was too arrogant and obnoxious to countenance such a move.

* Well, apart from the obvious.

Yup. He’s admitting that when he maligned her as a liar he was lying.

It's in a way worse for him than if he'd been deposed as anyone can say I reckon he did X or y and he can't comment. He can't sue anyone for libel - you can say what you will about him.

 

[two sheds]

Yes strange - I thought he'd asked for the original photo of them together and she said today that she didn't have it any more.

 

[Duncan2]

I expect Maitlis will invite him back on Newsnight so as not to deny him the opportunity to correct any misunderstandings that may have arisen as a result of the answers he gave her on the previous occasion.

 

[Sprocket.]

He will probably be found face down in some shitty tributary off the backstreets of Bangkok one night.

 

[Duncan2]

He is actually going to have to flee if approached by anyone who so much as looks like he might work for a news outlet.

Sweaty nonce.

He 'never intended to' but that's exactly what his lawyers did.

 

[MrCurry]

I bet that was expensive!

 

[JimW]

Good in one sense

Nonce sense?

yes, that is what I meant. Avoiding a deposition and an explicit admission of wrongdoing, however much it has cost somebody. It could have been far worse for him.

 

[existentialist]

We will probably never know the price, he personally, pays, given that I imagine it's his mum who's bailed him out. I imagine that came with a lot of strings.

 

[redcogs]

Nonce pays for his sex abusing habit using our fucking money. Its all meaningless to these arrogant chinless types. outrageous.

 

[DaveCinzano]

There's still time for him to have his own little Mullaghmore moment.

I know it will surprise people that previously had to listen to no end of shit about how he intended to fight to clear his name in court, but this outcome was always reasonably likely, especially once they failed to have the case thrown out at an earlier stage.

 

[not-bono-ever]

An honourable man

 

[tim]

Wow! Just wow. There’s no coming back from this surely?

Don't be so naive!

 

[RainbowTown]

Bought his way out of a trial.
Paid a huge sum of money to a person he said he didn't know or ever meet.
Not a word of contrition or apology.

Just crawl back beneath that rock you repugnant piece of trash.

Draped over the bins at the back of a pizza express

 

[Thora]

Best outcome for her. Everyone knows he's guilty and she doesn't have to go through being torn apart in court.
