Oh Prince Andrew is getting SUED by Virginia Robert's

[LaurieFairyCake]

That will be interesting

Ghislaine Maxwell is the key to all this.

Law and justice. Peace and equality. No one is ever above the law. I hope she is safe and “nothing happens similar to a billionaire with all to live for despite alleged hideous crimes suddenly drops dead!” Will all of the extended family members be complicit in any alleged cover up? Interesting….

How long before this thread is censored by the censorship committee???

The major issue is that far too many very powerful people want this story buried. The implications in the US reach senior political levels and into high profile industry ( I also wonder if it significantly contributed to the breakdown of a marriage Stateside) that’s without the Royal Family and all their buffers and civil service protections.

I think she is brave but ultimately will have to have some serious backing and not only in the financial sphere. I really feel for her.

I’m interested that there has not been a backlash against Sarah Ferguson who openly supports Andrew and seems to be everywhere at the moment.

I would imagine there may be some deeply unsettled individuals during Maxwell’s trial and what she may say. I’m surprised Virginia Roberts doesn’t wait until that case is tried. Does anyone know how long Ms Roberts has got until the statute of limitations kicks in?

The interview was sooo cringe-worthy. Especially at the end when he said he was asked if he now regretted his association and he said no! Here was his opportunity to (redeem himself somewhat) that looking back it was an unwise association which he now deeply regrets. And to express some sympathy for the victims. He came across as pompous and callous.

@Fiercestcalm, from today's Independent article:

"Virginia Giuffre claims that the Queen’s 61-year-old son sexually abused her at Epstein’s New York mansion and two other places when she was under the age of 18.

"Ms Giuffre filed her case in New York federal court just days before the expiration date of a state law that allows alleged victims of childhood sexual abuse to file claims that would otherwise be prevented by statutes of limitations."

I don't think she was left with much choice, in that case.

I don't think she will settle out of court. I should imagine she's been offered plenty of hush money before.

You don't take on the Royal family wanting your voice heard only to accept money when you have a lovely life anyway.

As for evidence there is 'that' photo already, plus the nightclub sweaty incident which was witnessed by others. There is the word of other girls that were taken to the island.

What was the documentary - Prince and the Paedophile - there is a lot of evidence in that alone.

Good luck to you Virginia. Bring it on, don't be cowed.

(don't drive through any tunnels though either)

@SpindleWhorl

Ghislaine Maxwell is the key to all this.

I was thinking that as well. But will she ever live to make court and would she even testify.

Already got the anti-women brigade out not believing survivors, I see. Dreadful.

If he settles, that says everything we need to know. That interview turned me from a staunch royalist to wanting rid of the whole enterprise, and yes, the Queen will protect her favourite son which sadly makes her complicit. I’m sure we will have lots of British headlines focused on other royal family members as a distraction.

This is very interesting. Behaviour experts analysed the interview. They didn't have much positive to say. Definitely doesn't look innocent

Let's face it neither her or ghislaine will get their day in court. Just not going to happen. People will cluck and fuss, then it will become a meme and forgotten, they don't even have to try anymore with the tiny public attention span.

I doubt ghislaine is even in prison

I hope VR loses. Badly. Because I'm tired of Guilty until proven Innocent attitudes.

i don't care what happens to PA otherwise, btw.

I Wonder when this thread will go poof.

That interview with Emily Maitliss was jaw-dropping in the arrogance oozing from PA. It certainly made me think again about a lot of things. It was rather an earth-shifter.

Once the Queen is gone, he's toast.

I wonder if H will have anything to say about him, or about being in the shadow of the situation, in his forthcoming memoir. It would seem an odd thing not to mention - but yet dynamite to raise it.

Why do you hope she loses? It may be guilty until proven innocent in the public domain, wasn't aware that had leaked into the legal one. If she has a case, she has a case.

Can they even have a trial for someone who isn't in the USA? He is certainly not going to be extradited (not that I dont think he shouldn't face trial).

I think you'll find that the Queen is. (Or indeed, any reigning monarch.)

I wonder if he's sweating yet

Following with intrigue

It just all gets made into a joke, hurdehur Prince Andrew can't sweat. Laugh and move on, nobody seems to see the murky depths of this shit. Yay the royal family are involved in sex trafficking, nevermind Kate has ditched the skinnies bleugh.

^
He's incapable of sweating, don't you remember?!

I think she has a reasonable case. She's a credible witness. I wonder how many other people there may be who might have been bought out.

I don't think she'll take money st this point.

I agree with a PP that I now no longer support the RF since this came out. He is an absolute disgrace of a man. His daughters must be mortified.

If the New York court finds against him, what jurisdiction do they have over him?

Prime example, it's become a meme a joke able event fml, they really have the best pr.
