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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am concerned she should be on trial for extorting money and ruining the lives of people who are not proven guilty. Lets assume for a moment Andrew is innocent. Can he prove that? Will people believe him if he, the guy with a bad public image and stupid behavior, says he is innocent? The public thinks he is guilty - without any evidence that he did anything illegal. When I think about myself and my friends in Thailand we all had lots of girls over the years. And we spent a lot of money, we had fun. Luckily none of us is super rich and famous. And luckily we live in Thailand. If we would have had our fun in America and if we would be rich and famous then I am sure some of the girls from many years ago would suddenly "remember" lots of details to extort us. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The lawsuit alleged that the duke sexually abused Ms Giuffre as a teenager on multiple occasions in London, Manhattan, and the US Virgin Islands in 2001" Bit of a glutton for punishment.

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 $$$ The thing is that measly few million is being paid for by me and the rest of UK tax payers cos hes never done a days work, how wrong is that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, years later, she went to court and collected more money. And then, again many years later, the same again. Personally I have no problem if girls charge for their services. But if they want money again later and then again more money even later that is IMHO a scam. Agree, but he / they, did put himself / themselves in that position. Only Buddha knows how much Epstein extorted from all his clients. Amassed quite the fortune for just being a pimp to the elite. A recognized face, doing what some, themselves feel is socially unacceptable, ashamed of, expect to be blackmailed sooner or later. For the blackmailer, it's high risk game, as many would make the problem simply disappear, once & for all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 9 minutes ago, Lacessit said: I think you're missing the point, Epstein specialized in under-age girls. Which to me is a big no-no. I would hope it would be for you as well. IMO being a celebrity, and also an anachronism, should set a higher standard. If it doesn't, please tell me the point of having a royal family at all. About the point of having a UK royal family: I am not from the UK and it's up to them over there. I don't see the point. And about "underage" girls. I don't think giving a massage with 17 and getting paid for that is illegal in most countries. And as was mentioned in this thread a couple of times what is legally underage depends on the country. In some countries a 17 year old girl is underage, in others not. We don't talk about 13 year old girls here. They are definitely too young. But lots of (I think the majority) 17 year old girls have sex. It's not that they are suddenly in a bed with a guy and have no idea how that happened or what is happening. Personally I certainly wouldn't touch a girl who is clearly too young to know what she is doing. I also have no interest in any of those girls. And I would never force a girl to do anything against her will. As far as I am concerned anybody who forces a person (rape) should be in jail or dead. If a pretty 18 year old girl wants to make me happy I like that. And possibly I would also like it if she is 17. But obviously I would only engage with her if that would be legal in whatever location I am... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the definition of being trafficked should be reviewed. I.e. if a bad guy puts an innocent person in a cage and transports that innocent person over a border then I think we all agree that this is "being trafficked". But how about if a rich guy asks a girl if she like to join him on a trip to an island or a city far away. And the girl agrees. She could say: "No, I don't want to go there." Is that still "being trafficked"? Personally I don't think so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then a long time ago I knew a Brazilian girl who told me she went out at night to have sex when she was 12. And according to her she did that because she was horny and she wanted to have sex (I met her when she was in her 20th). I am sure many of us met girls who we thought are a lot older than they were actually. Should anybody have sex with a 14 years old? No. Could it possibly happen that there is one girl who looks with 14 a lot more mature? Yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 According to some reporters. He is a very arrogant man who takes pleasure in 'being a Prince' and lording it over his inferiors (basically anyone who is not Royalty). I for one believe he is guilty because he believed he was above the law. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there are girls that want sex at below whatever legal age applies, and are physically ready. The whole point of legal age is they are children, mentally unready to understand the full ramifications of sex, STD's, and pregnancy. You can be an apologist for Prince Andrew if you want, but blaming Giuffre for what has happened is a bridge too far. All his wounds are self-inflicted, and they go back a long way before Epstein. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
