JE had many working for him, he had to surely?

I know he got most from the local school, horrific.

So ridiculous that all those who lived in his road in florida knew what was going on, yet those inside his house didn't and we're expected to believe that??

JE is the benefactor at the end of the day, and ultimately culpable but there are many men also implicated in female exploitation and abuse of these young girls.

AnyMinuteNow · 03/12/2019 02:42

So why the hell didn't anyone call in thw feds then?

..and wth are the met doing ignoring the reports made to them?

Because they probably got paid handsomely to keep their mouth shut. PA and his stuttering excuse about "I don't sweat, well I didn't use to" came across as complete fabrication. I really hope the truth comes out.

I've just flicked through the news and I see that last nights Panaroma is not getting the headlines it should be, because quite frankly that TV show last night was MASSIVE.

This case won't go anywhere. PA will get off. GM won't be prosecuted because rich and powerful people are immune from their actions. The press has been told to STFU by someone high up in the UK. This interview from last night is getting zero attention.

There is no physical proof that PA has done anything with any of these girls. I personally believe the allegations but there is no proof.

However, PA's conduct is totally unacceptable. You can get the measure of a person by the company they keep. Hanging out with a paedophile, a rapist and a human trafficker is totally not acceptable. Even if PA has done nothing, his arrogance and his massive sense of entitlement is astounding. Basically he has been hanging out with people fo freebies and shutting one eye to their criminal and sub-human behaviour.

Shame, shame on him.

Completely agree

I watched last night and I hope he squirmed. One good thing to come out of it.... it was confirmed he can't travel to US without testifying. Good.

jbfletcher1 · 03/12/2019 07:11

JE recorded things though didn't it? So I'm sure that provided him a lot of protection.

All the people who never "saw" anything didn't think it odd when Virginia was at parties, she looks young!

The Guardian online appear to have relegated it to being a minor story this morning.

The Mail is all over it again, though, especially that email from LA to GM naming Virginia Roberts. Curiouser and curiouser.

dongdingdong · 03/12/2019 07:42

This interview from last night is getting zero attention.

It’s the top story on MailOnline, which is the most-read news site in the UK. There’s also a couple of stories below including photos of Prince Andrew at the races with Epstein and Maxwell and a comment piece.

I know the DM has a lot of faults but at least it’s prepared to cover this sort of stuff. I can’t see it anywhere on the Guardian app - very disappointing.

ChristmasAngst · 03/12/2019 07:43

It's Fergie I feel sorry for. Weight watchers will be reconsidering her sponsorship and she will run out of billionaires to sponge off. No more 50k's in envelopes to get an into to PA. She will be destitute.

Roussette · 03/12/2019 07:48

I think the email will hang him. He says repeatedly he has no recollection of ever meeting Virginia.

Yet it is proven he wrote to Ghislaine
"Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts."
in 2015.

How can he deny it when there is proof of this?

ItIsWhatItIsInnit · 03/12/2019 08:40

I guess hypothetically he could have still written the email, to discuss the allegations, without having actually met her. I doubt it though!

Poor girl was just a commodity. It's like asking them what the colour of the furniture was. It didnt matter to them that young girls were wandering around a yacht or why they were there. PA demonstrated his attitude in his own words. They didnt notice. They couldn't care less.

ChristmasAngst · 03/12/2019 09:17

I didn't see or hear anything is a line trotted out when someone doesn't want to get their friends into trouble.

CathyorClaire · 03/12/2019 10:23

I think GM's whereabouts is known and that she is working frantically towards a plea bargain.

I watched the interview last night. Virginia is extremely credible. As she says only one of them is telling the truth.

^This is exactly what the story will be.

It's not as if she's never had any money. Maybe it's time she learned to live within her means, HRH or not...

SunsetBoulevard3 · 03/12/2019 11:47

Virginia mentioned that PA was driven by his protection officers in a separate car when they left Tramps. Those protection officers can be found surely? They've been paid off though haven't they? There must be loads of Royal protection people who know the whole story. They know it's more than their lives are worth to speak though.

At the risk of boring everyone within range, these officers are paid for with our money. Quite aside from that meaning they should do their duty and abide by the law of the land, I really don't like the idea of my tax dollars being used to pay to shield royal wrongdoers. They are either incompetent, involved, or both.

ajandjjmum · 03/12/2019 12:02

She's not HRH - was taken from her on divorce. Shame they don't do the same to Andrew.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 03/12/2019 12:09

Why is she still a Duchess then?

ajandjjmum · 03/12/2019 12:18

Don't really know - I suppose it's the same as any woman continuing to use her 'married' title and name after divorce.

These things matter to the Royals and their arselicking hangers on. Proof (if it were needed) they exist in their own little bubble. When we've got rid of the Royals, the next step should be a serious rationalisation of how the entire peerage system works (because they are interdependent). Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders already have the right idea.

Prince Andrew is taking the heat for the elite establishment involved in this case. Whilst this is going on people are forgetting to ask questions of others with links and accusations, the Clintons are just one example. If he, PA, takes the weight publicly of these accusations, thus distracting from the others, he should be richly rewarded by those Global elites in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book.
Is he the fall guy, or are the likes of the Daily Mail and the BBC really going after the Royal Family?
Is there a latent Republican movement within the Mail group newspapers and the BBC?
I think not!
