Away with you faux outrage. At age 17 she was not legally competent to consent to paid sex, by definition she was trafficked. Her record on helping the victims of sexual abuse and trafficking is solid.

It’s not a law I ever envisage myself breaking.

And she was very well advised to do so. All those titles had zero meaning in a NY Court.

Being trafficked.

Agree. But of course Epstein might have been working on behalf an organization that can’t be ‘gotten rid of’.

Reminds me of the Minty Python ‘witch sketch’.

Not quite, your statement was “Law in US applies if incidents happened there. UK not relevant. Media reports 17yo” The alleged incidents occurred in the UK, US law applies because a US citizen under age 18 was trafficked across a State line for paid sex.

Irrelevant, it’s not Giuffre who was on trial.

Law not your thing then?!

I don’t think Andrew is pleased with the justice he’s just agree to pay for. His public life is over.

1. At age 17 she was not legally competent to consent to paid sex. 2. I’m sure Andrew’s lawyers explained to him that admitting to statutory rape is not something he should do, let alone something he should be proud of.

There is no need to proved ‘forced’ she’s a US citizen trafficked across a state line while under the age of 18 for the purposes of paid sex. She was not legally competent under US law to give her consent to paid sex or to cross a state line for the purposes of paid sex.

You are misinformed. The first ruling by the court in this case was to answer the question ‘Does the court have jurisdiction?’. The US court has jurisdiction.

She’s a smart cookie, she knows how to bargain.

Erm, I started the thread. Andrew at last got some good advice, on the stand giving testimony regarding sex with a trafficked minor would not have been a good look. As I said a few months back, he would settle out of court, if smart he would settle immediately. We all know, he’s not smart.

Again, go read the law.

No but he was well and truly nailed.

I don’t know where you get your information from but your claim Gates is on any flight log to ‘depraved island’ is a libelous slur. You could of course check such claims before posting: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-bill-gates-epstein-island-idUSKBN22R2C4

This was not a ‘Criminal trial’, it was a ‘Civil Suit’. Nothing whatsoever to do with the criminal justice system.

She’s a US citizen, she was transported over state lines for sex while under the age of 18. Read up on the law.

You need to do some reading up. Don’t be like Andrew.

He’s in this mess because, despite all the options he undoubtedly had, he chose the illegal one.

At long last, somebody got to him with god advice: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/15/prince-andrew-and-virginia-giuffre-reach-settlement-in-principle

If as the OP now suggests, he wishes to avoid a false positive for a PCR test booked on March 10, what use is knowledge of how many cycles the PCR test employs? The test will be performed to the procedure that is applied and the result will be whatever the test determines the result is. Neither the OP nor anyone else is going to be offered a test procedure different to that which is employed.

Many people transferring money have used work place email addresses, and many of those are on .gov domains. Apart from foreign interference, also exposed is the sheer scale of the money being made by the truckers, running into millions of dollars. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/14/foreign-money-funding-extremism-in-canada-says-hacker
