To be revolted by the latest attempt to 'clear' Prince Andrew's name?

I actually feel I have to apologise for attaching this link, I am so sickened by it. But this is from a national broadsheet newspaper which calls itself respectable, so here it is - Ghislaine Maxwell's family's attempt to discredit Prince Andrew's accuser by claiming to 'prove' she was lying:

www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/01/27/photo-clears-duke-york-bath-sex/
Quite apart from the fact that this is risible and proves nothing about PA's innocence, I am just revolted on so many levels: the fact that a mainstream broadsheet paper has no qualms about appearing as an apologist for rape and trafficking!

To think that there were people who not only participated in creating this image - including a picture of a young girl! - but also sharing it in a national paper is vomit inducing.

A front page on a UK national newspaper given to the family of a convicted sex trafficker, allowing them to make a ridiculous defence of a Prince in an attempt to discredit his accuser. And people wonder why more victims don’t report rape & sexual assault? I feel for any victims who see the lengths people (especially privileged people like this who are given a platform) are willing to go to defend such crimes, no wonder reporting levels are so low and conviction levels even lower.

And they have dragged the RF into the gutter by association.

It seemed like a v strange thing for the paper to print along with an article saying the photo of them together isn’t fake….

Oh Andrew in the bath

Surprised at the Telegraph, front paging this dross. Why did York pay $12 million? The act of an innocent man, I think not. The bath reactment, surprised at the Maxwell family - just when you think the family could sink no lower (father defrauded Daily Mirror pensions, took his own life to evade prison, paedophile sister now this ....) Do they lack in imagination? Give any couple a bath like that and they could find a way to have sex in it - kneeling, her sitting on him, etc. Come on, Maxwells, you can do better. The man is guilty.

Actually DH is very tall and we can't DTD in the bath (we've tried) so at the risk of having to namechange, I'd buy that.
