Nice to see nobody is above the law, what an embarrassment!

And what a b'day surprise that must've been for him...

He is known as The Sweaty Nonce in our household.

How the mighty have fallen - from what I have heard about him - an obnoxious character all round - Fergie to follow ??

This could all work out nicely for him, he'll still get to live rent free in a big house owned by his brother

Statement from KC in that link 👆

They are only saying they’ve arrested him as a cover up.

They’ve really taken him out for a Birthday Teddy Bears Picnic.

Misconduct in a Public Office is the charge according to the police. That will mean financial crime not sex ones.
With financial crime there will be evidence, dates of transactions etc. It will not be opinion or interpretation.

The King's statement 😆. Definitely making little brother pay for being the Queen's best boy and golden child.

It is part of the Epstein case, if Epstein or his team lead Andrew to share these papers. As I read elsewhere, part of the reason for the setup of the sex crime ring was to get material with which to get people to share information.

Although it is possible that people would voluntarily share info with Epstein.

Should that not be a conflict of interest. AW has been detained at His Majesty’s pleasure, but His Majesty could be paying the defence fees?

Almost nobody is cover enough to know how to clean up their devices of certain illegal activities. There are teams that look forensically at devices and find all sorts. You think you’re permanently deleting your history, permanently destroying your hard drive etc but it’s all useless. That’s why he’s fucked, if it’s true that about him sharing ‘material’ with Epstein.

🔥 😆 🤣

I don't know... something feels different this time.

According to the BBC, he’s the first modern member of the Royal Family to have been arrested.

I love how he has been arrested on his birthday.

I hope something actually comes of his arrest, though I doubt it…

He’s spent enough years being ‘666’ and hell is too good for him and the likes of him.

What a sub-human POS he and the others are. Total depravity. Those poor innocent victims, their suffering was and is unimaginable.

And he’s got a reservation at pizza express for tonight !

AW has been detained at His Majesty’s pleasure...

Priceless!!

Just saw this in the Daily Mail coverage

"Policing commentator Danny Shaw told Radio 5 Live that arresting Andrew at his home, instead of inviting him in for an interview, is a departure from standard practice for historical allegations. 'Making an arrest carries the element of surprise, the person's not expecting it,' he said, adding: 'Carrying out the arrest enables them to do searches on the spot.'"

That should be used everywhere :-)

All we need now is the men in white coats turning up for the orange man baby in the white house, .....but seriously how has trump stayed out of this clusterf**k whilst everyone else is drowning??...is it some kind of genius??

Apparently he was expecting a delivery from Pizza Express and was shocked to find the old bill when the butler answered the door.

Class!! 😂

You've got to start somewhere.

👏

Now if only we in the US could join in.

The birthday arrest is the gift that keeps on giving....

He just has access to the 'redact' black marker pen. The biggest, most beautiful, amazing black marker pen of course, a la Trump style.

The law around paying for sex with trafficked persons whether you know they are trafficked or not came in in 2010. But payment would have to made.

The law around having sex with a trafficked person, whether you knew they were trafficked or not and whether payment was received or not came in in 2015.

So he'd have to have eligible offences after those dates.

Prior to that the sexual offences act 2003 recognised all persons engaged in paid sex worker aged 16 and 17 were victims of abuse rather than being prostitutes as they would have been deemed as before but the laws were around penalties for people causing them to be engaged in acts of sex work, the pimps and traffickers, not individuals paying for sex with 16 or 17 year olds who could easily say they thought they were over 18 anyway.
