Prince Andrew settles out of court.

From the link in the OP -

sparing him the humiliation of giving evidence in a trial and protecting the royal family from further reputational damage.

 

Why is this allowed ? Courts should put a stop to this behind the scenes bargaining so a scumbag can remain hidden for the measly sum - to him - of a few million.

 

There is no "Justice" in the criminal justice system. Only $$$

It is allowed because her legal team agreed to it and this case was not in the criminal justice system.  He was not charged with anything, she was suing him in a civil case.

errr.. I believe the woman in question was over the age of consent. Still have absolutely no idea what Andrew(vile individual he is) did wrong in this whole fiasco - other than lie when claiming he never met the woman.

 

 

Age of consent, and 'flying to have sex' or 'paying' to have sex with a minor is a felony in many countries.  USA for example, has strict laws against being a tourist for sex with minor, so if busted overseas, and USA gets wind of it, expect to be charged on your return.    Being outside USA territories or airspace doesn't matter, or so I read.

 

Also age of consent, in many countries, is applicable to someone within a few years of same age.  Along with, parental permission to marry.  Sex with a minor may still be a felony, if outside the 'allowed' rules.  Paying for, makes a huge difference also.

 

On other comments, calling her / prostitute, or any of them victims, is a stretch.  Along with why drop the case, if a criminal case ... if nobody to testify, then no case, hence the payment for silence, and surely an NDA.

I think that's correct. If they were brought together in Florida she would have been younger than the age of consent. I don't think that has ever been her argument though. She claims to have been coerced and trafficked. Is there an age limit on that? 

An interesting claim. So she was trafficked/coerced which would mean PA having relations with her was not consensual. This is particularly interesting because it would follow that presumably all of Epstein's young ladies which he kept on his private Caribbean island were in the same situation. So ex-Presidents and big tech bosses that liked to visit the island to play with girls were guilty of the same as PA and should be arrested?

No you say????

You don't think that's a possibility? I really have no idea about the setup. And neither do you. All we can do is speculate.

This is about Prince Andrew and the tart suing him, she was not a minor, they were consenting adults, he did not "fly to have sex" nor did he pay her.

That's 1 opinion, apparently the prostitute & Andy realize the opposite.

 

"Virginia Giuffre v. Prince Andrew is a civil legal action in which Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts), a woman living in Australia as of January 2022, has sued Prince Andrew, Duke of York, son of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms alleging that she was forced to have several sexual encounters with the prince in the early 2000s at the age of 17, after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein.[1][2] Andrew has denied Giuffre's claims. The two parties reached an out-of-court settlement in February 2022, and the case is set to be closed without going to trial."

 

UK definition of a minor: "In England and Wales and in Northern Ireland a minor is a person under the age of 18"

 

Where that falls within any civil or criminal law, I don't know or care.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact.     The age for (sexual) consent in the UK is 16.  She was not under the age of consent when she was whoring around with him.

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

 

Read up on the law.
