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

[Wilf]

A truly sinister part was his friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell, whose fortune and Belgravia house came from her brilliant career as Robert Maxwell's daughter.

Couple of pages ago I suggested Maitliss/the bbc were shithouses, not going in on the details of his trips to pedo Island etc. I suspect there were a several packs of lawyers watching on, including Maxwell's. She featured several times but they didn't go into her wider procurement role. Maybe they just chose to focus on him, thinking that spearing a royal was the better story. Personally though, I'd like to have seen more background about Epstein's wider rape/trafficking industry. In turn, setting that in place would have made his denials even more unbelieveable.

Charlie Proctor, editor of the Royal Central website, said: “I expected a train wreck. That was a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion level bad.”

He's just a freeloader who enjoyed Epstein's largesse. I doubt he did any more than that. He's spent his entire life getting what he wants, and someone else always pays.

Reluctantly, his 'sense of honour' meant he felt compelled to travel to Manhattan for a few days in order to tell Epstein that they should not be seen together. I doubt he went to such trouble for all other friendships that have fizzled out, but hey, billionaires are something else.

He and his grabbing wife were a good match. If sponging was an olympic event they would be gold medalists.

Just saw some of today’s Sunday paper headlines reporting the Prince Andrew interview and they all seem lockstep scathing by his apparent lack of remorse.

Some of his excuses are it couldn’t have been him having sex with the 17yr old as he doesn’t sweat and he was in Pizza Express at the time of the allegation

I mean you have to understand that his house, I described it more as almost as a railway station if you know what I mean in the sense that there were people coming in and out of that house all the time.

If anyone chose to perceive that I compared a house full of trafficked teenage girls and wealthy perverts to a railway station then that is more illustrative of their character than mine I'm afraid.

Why does the footage of the interview look like something a teenager shot on their iPhone?

He's just a freeloader

Great this morning to see the news and watch the story roll out. No support from pals or acquaintances.

In terms of legal action, the UK police could presumably only interview him about sex with/rape of* the woman in London. Or possibly sex tourism legislation for the nonce island stuff? Otherwise it's up to US authorities calling on him as a witness.

* Let's add the word 'alleged', but that is what it would be if she was trafficked?

UK courts can prosecute sexual crimes committed abroad to or by British nationals

What happens when the Crown reaches the point where this comes up? Especially if this is still running?
Are they going to pretend the Queen only has 3 children and give his lines to Eddie?

One point of law; sex with a 17 year old is not illegal in the UK. Sex for money, prostitution, is also not illegal in the UK. Sex with a prostitute who is under 18 is illegal in the UK. That’s before you get to the trafficking aspect of this.

Yeh but sex with someone without their consent is rape. And that's really what we're dealing with here

Even if what he wants is a Sloppy Americano at Pizza Express Woking

Just watched most of the interview. The man is not telling the truth. Probably thinks that because he has spent most of his life getting away with lying to the Queen he will get away with doing the same with the rest of us. All the signs of bullshit are there - small smiles - rehearsed sincerity - self pity at having to tell untruths. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up doing an Epstein himself.

I had andrew and sarah ferguson as the world's most gruesome, chiselling, shitty twat couple. Turns out their commitment to family life meant that every time one went out, the other stayed in with the kids. Who'd have known they were such wonderful parents?

So, never both out at the same time?
