To think this may be a "squeaky bum" moment for Prince Andrew?

Oh yes, I think I read that she might be in court pretty soon, interesting to see what unfolds...

Ah yes, here we go:

Ghislaine Maxwell is charged in a six-count indictment, including transporting a minor to engage in criminal sex acts reut.rs/2C3IKXa

I would imagine Prince Andrew is choking on his dough balls as we speak...

I was surprised she had stayed in the USA. I would have thought an analysis and a Venn diagram of countries where offences were alleged to have taken place, countries with extradition agreements to those countries and France should have left some amenable countries in which to reside that weren't France.

She'll be disappeared long before she testifies surely? I thought she was in Europe, if she's been in the US this whole time I can only assume some negotiation between top levels broke down. They'll never let her spill the beans. Too many higher ranks could be tainted even if they weren't directly involved.

We could always do a swap - Prince Andrew for Anna Sacoolas (sp).

@SisterVanHelsing

But Prince Andrew can't sweat BananaPop2020 .

if she's been in the US this whole time I can only assume some negotiation between top levels broke down

We'll probably never know, but if she's being charged with trafficking minors for sexual abuse, then with Virginia Roberts's previous statements that'll put Andrew very firmly in the frame

There will be a press conference today at noon to announce charges against Ghislaine Maxwell for her role in the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girls by Jeffrey Epstein. The press conference will be livestreamed on Facebook @USAOSDNY. facebook.com/usaosdny/

Bit inconvenient that it's on at the same time as Gav and his education briefing!

I watched the documentary recently and am surprised she has not been arrested before now.
The documentary said the house was covered in cameras and film footage of Epstein and his friends with the girls. Surely this could be used in court too. Suspect the whole house of cards is about to tumble. Prince Andrew should be arrested too if there is enough evidence, although doubt he will....

@percheron67

I don't understand the thread title. Is this another Urban Dictionary description?

You’ve seriously never heard the saying ‘squeaky bum time’?

I'll be pretty surprised if she makes it to trial.

I don't understand the thread title. Is this another Urban Dictionary description?

"Squeaking Bum Time" is an expression attributed to Sir Alex Ferguson....

"squeaky"..

.and I hope PA is suffering seriously from it...

Andrew will be fine unfortunately

@grafft

Andrew will be fine unfortunately

He's not entirely immune to prosecution if there's solid enough evidence...however I can't see Maxwell rolling over in terms of Andrew. Keeping him sweet might just be what keeps her alive!

About time. Good

I don't agree she won't be allowed near a court. Epstein was after all.

She's already denied everything, a while back... well, she would, wouldn't she?

-1 count of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts
-1 count of encitement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts
-1 count of conspiracy to transport minors w/ intent to engage in crim sexual activity
-2 counts of perjury

Newsflash: Prince Andrew has announced that since his Naval service, his arsehole no longer tightens and as such, his bum is incapable of squeaking.

@KaTetof I feel there will be a lot of deals already done before her arrest.

Would Covid stop PA being extradited? He’ll be hoping for a second spike!

I'm not saying there won't have been deals but they didn't seem to do Epstein much good and he possibly had as much ammunition to do deals as Maxwell.

So one good thing has happened in 2020.

I can't see Maxwell rolling over in terms of Andrew. Keeping him sweet might just be what keeps her alive

What, some form of royal protection in return for keeping her mouth shut about him?
Interesting thought ... it may be further into the gutter than even the RF prefer to go, but nothing would surprise me any more where their own interests are concerned
