Good

I think they’ll just settle & make her sign gagging orders, they’ve got a bottomless pit of money to throw at this.

LaurieFairyCake · 09/08/2021 23:57

In the lawsuit she says she was forced to have intercourse (if so that's rape) when she was 17

I hope she gets justice

It’ll be settled out of court

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 10/08/2021 00:02

I hope she gets justice I don't think she will but I hope it gets very uncomfortable for them all. I re watched a bit of the interview he did the other night...Liar liar pants on fire. Such little weasel.

LolaSmiles · 10/08/2021 00:03

Good.
I'm not sure how much longer he can remain in hiding behind the royal institution.

DeeCeeCherry · 10/08/2021 00:05

Out of Court settlement.

I really fail to see how the RF are still respected when the Queen covers for her odious favourite son. Sweaty, entitled creep

nancy75 · 10/08/2021 00:05

He’ll remain in hiding from this for the rest of his life.
There is no chance of him ever being extradited on criminal charges & they’ll settle & hush up any private cases that are brought against him.

SpindleWhorl · 10/08/2021 00:05

She apparently had to file now or fall foul of the statute of limitations (according to reports in the Independent and Guardian) - I hope she was nevertheless able to make a decent case in time.

This case is really important for trafficked women and girls everywhere.

I don't have high hopes though. We all know who the fall guys are, and PA isn't intended to be one of them.

I've often wondered if it's one of the reasons that H&M buggered off out of it. It's hardly 'global brand' material.

MotionActivatedDog · 10/08/2021 00:09

Good. Keep the light on him.

Backstreetsbackalrightdadada · 10/08/2021 00:09

Good!!

newstart1337 · 10/08/2021 00:10

Is there any actual evidence?

I’d say it played a part in their decision but realistically even if this didnt exist there is enough in that family/world to want to get away from.

Her testimony.
Dreamstate · 10/08/2021 00:21

Good I hope he is made to appear but any out of court settlement will look very bad

newstart1337 · 10/08/2021 00:25

Her testimony

In America that is hardly enough to get it into court. I imagine they are hoping the court of public opinion will get her a settlement. It seems almost impossible there would be a conviction.

DoubleShotEspresso · 10/08/2021 00:26

I agree PA's office will go to great pains to get this settled out of court.
In some ways though I hope she declines any settlement and forces a judgement, but think ultimately money rules .

The whole thing is so unpalatable it's baffling how the RF have remained so supportive of PA all this time when so much damning evidence is in the public domain.
I feel desperately sad for the Queen but furious that he will likely evade justice.

Panickingpavlova · 10/08/2021 00:26

Good. Good luck to her.

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 10/08/2021 00:28

I hope she wins!

CrisisManagement · 10/08/2021 00:28

She is amazing. I am so impressed by her bravery.
I hope she has loads of support around her.

You didn’t ask if there was enough evidence to get it to court. You asked if there was any actual evidence. That’s the question I answered.
greenlynx · 10/08/2021 00:30

Good. Hope she’ll get somewhere with this.

I love the Queen. She's fab.

@newstart1337

There's possibly evidence in the earlier Ghislaine Maxwell depositions, plus Giuffre's testimony and some circumstantial evidence that supports it. And god knows what will come out in Maxwell's trial and defence, given the DA is seemingly playing hardball.
