What "justice" is there for him to "face" that he is not facing?  Are you suggesting that he's been indicted for something?

Surely, Andy boy agreeing to pay $21 million USD in compensation is an admission of guilt! Why otherwise would he agree?

He was never accused of having sex with underage girls, because by her own admission she was 17 years old at the time and the legal age of consent in the location that the alleged event took place is 16 years old.

I’m not sure you understand the law on this matter.

 

His victim was an American, and was trafficked for the proposed of sex.

 

Regardless, my statement is still correct, Prince Andrew was credibility accused, Refer court filing I have posted.

I understand the law, and her nationality has nothing to do with it. The alleged offence took place in the UK where the legal age of consent is 16. She doesn't take American laws with her around the world to implement in her country of choice.

 

Allegedly trafficked for sex. Never proven in a court of law. Many, myself included believe that she was a fully cooperative participant who later saw an opportunity to make millions of pounds by fleecing a Royal by pretending she was trafficked when in fact she was working as a high class escort and was by her own admission, helping to recruit other girls.

 

Either way, she was over legal age of consent when the alleged event took place and Andrew was never accused or convicted of having underage sex so calling him a nonce is inaccurate.

So why did he agree to pay her $21 million USD???

The crime, and it was a crime in the US, was committed on US soil.

You'd have to ask him.

 

If I had to guess, I suspect he didn't want a lengthy court case with lurid, sensationalist, salacious stories (quite possibly false or at least exaggerated) of him having sex with a "high class" escort being splashed on the front page of the newspapers during the final year of his mother's life.

 

I'm sure many on this forum have had some wild, yet perfectly legal nights out here in Thailand that they wouldn't necessarily want on the front page of the national newspapers for their friends/family to see.

Does it matter where it was? It's an admission of guilt in any language!

Because of a settlement! What innocent person pays that amount of money for something to go away?

"Ms Giuffre, now 38, claimed the duke, 61, sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17 at Ghislaine Maxwell's home in London, in Epstein's mansion in New York and on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands." From BBC.

It's been a while since New York was located in the UK.

Yes, allegedly, but still credible.

Do you have any idea of the wealth of the Royal family?

 

That's like you paying 50 quid. Of someone else's money ????.

 

Of course he's going to pay it. That's exactly why she accused him. Like taking candy from a baby.

The alleged incident that we were discussing (when she was 17) occurred in London, which is in the UK.

 

I am sure you are aware of the legal precedent, Innocent until proven guilty.

Ah, and it's only alleged because the perpetrator would not travel to the US to attend court and extraditing a member of the royal family could be a bit tricky.  But the sum he paid out pretty much tells the story.

Loads of cases never come to court because "settled out of court". As for the amount, I think it was excessive, but I wasn't in the room to know why.

Perhaps they looked at the Michael Jackson case where a payment was made to make a claim go away, and the suspect IMO reneged in hopes of more, so they had to give enough to make sure that didn't happen.

BTW anyone that followed the Jackson case knows why it's better to pay to stay out of the IMO circus of trial by media.

You clear do not understand the law, certainly not US Federal (extra territorial) Law as it relates to trafficking US citizens for sex and the age of consent to engage in paid sex (regardless of who is doing the paying).

Surely IF sleeping with trafficked girls was a crime the American VVIPs that slept with Jeffrey's trafficked girls would all be under investigation? After all, the authorities have the complete client list, indeed it is widely available on the web. Serious crimes like trafficking/slavery do still get investigated right? Is there a valid reason why out of all the elite people that slept with Jeffrey's trafficked girls Price Andrew is the only guilty guy? 

Whataboutary.

It doesn’t matter, she was a US citizen trafficked out of the US for sex.

Allegedly.

 

More likely is she was a well paid escort operating under her own free will and living the life of riley.

 

I know which theory I find most likely.

Charged with causing a public disturbance.....lucky the police intervened otherwise he would have got a bloody good hiding which he thoroughly deserved....anyone defending his actions must suffer from the same mental illness...IMHO.
