The family of Virginia Giuffre has urged a thorough investigation into Prince Andrew regarding accusations of sexual abuse. After Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to the Duke of York in 2001, Giuffre accused him of abusing her three times. Despite reaching an out-of-court settlement in 2022 with no admission of guilt, the call for deeper scrutiny persists.

 

Giuffre was a prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier. Allegations surfaced when she was 17, claiming that Epstein introduced her to Prince Andrew. This spotlight intensified after the prince withdrew from royal duties in 2019 amid fallout from a BBC Newsnight interview about his ties to Epstein.

 

Sky Roberts, Virginia Giuffre’s brother, expressed his concerns on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, arguing that Prince Andrew hasn't faced sufficient consequences. He believes accountability should apply to everyone, regardless of status. Meanwhile, Amanda Roberts, Sky’s wife, hinted that more revelations may emerge soon.

 

Prince Andrew has consistently denied all allegations against him. The Royal Family has not reached out to the Giuffre family, according to Mr and Mrs Roberts. The ongoing public scrutiny has prompted fresh discourse on the extent of accountability.

 

Virginia Giuffre died in April, leaving behind a legacy of campaigning for justice. The interview also touched upon Donald Trump's alleged connections to Epstein, with the Giuffre family calling for an investigation into individuals associated with Epstein, including Trump. The White House has refuted the authenticity of a purported letter from Trump to Epstein.

 

The demand for transparency continues, with Sky Roberts urging Trump to release all relevant documents related to Epstein. The narrative surrounding Epstein's associates remains fraught with tension and anticipation of further revelations.

 

 

 

Key Takeaways

 

• Virginia Giuffre's family seeks a full investigation into Prince Andrew.
• The call follows a 2022 settlement without admission of liability.
• Discussions also extend to Donald Trump’s connections with Epstein.

 What happened to Virginia Guiffre was abhorrent. Her suicide was tragic. An evil undertaking enveloped her as a young girl and destroyed her life.

 

Prince Andrew's deeply unsavoury and oafish behaviour with her, as part of that undertaking has quite rightly resulted in his effective expulsion from Royal life. He remains a Prince because he is a Prince by birth. He could yet lose his status (effectively now meaningless anyway) as The Duke of York, that would require an act of Parliament; I suspect it will happen when in due course William becomes King.

 

Meanwhile he is disgraced, out of public life and rightly so. There is no way back.

 

But he has not committed an offence under British law.

 

Has he committed an offence in the USA? Well the waters swirling around such offences and culpability, being held to account, in that jurisdiction are so muddied, befouled even, that realistically a lot of very and more significant other figures would have to fall first, and that is simply not going to happen.

 

As I said, what happened to Miss Guiffre was tragic. It will forever be paraded alongside Prince Andrew until the day he dies. It now defines him.

 

I feel sorry for her family, her brother. How can I put it, I wonder about his motivation. Prince Andrew is disgraced, broken, out. His mother the late Queen offered a settlement. It appears that he has not committed a crime in the UK (being a self entitled, deeply unpleasant nob does not count) so he can't be prosecuted; leave him to rot, exposed as a pathetic, oafish, dirty old man.

'Full Probe'? Sounds painful 😫

Sounds like good old Virginia didn't leave them the money they extorted from the Royal Family the first time, or maybe she spent it before she died.

 

After another payout.

she was a 17 year old whore……every damn one of them that flew on the plane, went to the Penthouse in New York, Villa in Florida and the estate on the Island knew exactly why they were there and what for.  I have zero sympathy for any of them.  Epstein’s mistake was not staying in France when he had the chance, he’d be alive if he had -

It happened in London.

 

17 is over the age of consent in London.

 

Trying to extract more cash from Guiffree's career as a young prostitute and self confessed procurer of other hookers for Epstein is beyond the pale.

 

I'm sure the anti Monarchist Brit haters will jump on board though.

Get money ,get money ,get money still ...

Let virtue follow..... if she will ..

Bend the tub of lard over and auction the probe all money raised can go to sweat research and pizza hut 🫤

Committed suicide while visiting Australia.  Uh-huh.

How many times we have read that when a Brit has sex with an under 18 girl in Thailand,

can be procecuted in the UK ?

But somehow it's ok for Andrew ?

 

Giuffre asked full probe into him.

Very , very likely he had sex with other girls even younger than her.

I think you will find that many countries have laws covering the extraterritorial exploitation of minors. Basically, if the victim is under the age of consent in your country it doesn't matter where in the world you commit the crime.

In cases like this, people will start to blame the victims to protect the rapists. Of course, this should not protect the rapists from prosecution.

Victim?  She sold sex for money and for the opportunity to be money-adjacent, hobnobbing with the rich and famous.  Nobody bundled her away against her will in the night.  She was a willing participant.

Prince Andrew is alleged to have had sex with Miss Guiffre in London when she was 17. As the age of consent in the UK is 16, he committed no crime, however morally reprehensible one may find his behaviour.

 

It is also alleged that he had sex with her in the USA when she was 17, below the age of consent in the US. If sufficient evidence, which would convince a UK court could be produced, and if the court thought that he would receive a fair trial in the US, then he could be extradited to face trial in the US; although the febrile atmosphere surrounding the whole scandal in the US, along with the death of Epstein whilst in custody might not sit well with extradition proceedings - " get your own house in order first?"

 

As she was over the UK age of consent then I don't think that an extraterritorial prosecution could be brought. @FlorC is right, they have occurred but invariably for far more serious offences where the victim  would be underage in the UK - the pop star Gary Glitter and very young girls in Vietnam for example.

 

The bottom line is that he hasn't committed a crime in the UK.

And even if he did commit a crime, it's on a technicality.  It's not as if she's a toddler, or he abducted her against her will.  She was a willing participant who was old enough to know right from wrong.  

 

Despicable as it may be that rich guys have been boinking vulnerable young women for the entire history of the human race, I'll reserve the real outrage for the ones that rape the unwilling.  Or take advantage of girls who are too young to know better.  They need to be strung up by their 'nads.

 

Another "accident" happening anytime soon when a car crashes in a tunnel?

Does it make you feel good to call those girls whores? Make you feel strong and manly, like a real alpha male? Some of those ‘whores’, as you very inappropriately and callously call these abused girls, were as young as 12-13 years old. And I’m sure if one of those had been your daughter, you’d still feel the same way, right? 
By the way, you do realize you’re defending a pedophile, don’t you? Just like much of MAGA have done a 180, from screaming to release the Epstein files to believing the BS they’re being fed by Trump and Tulsi Gabbard and Kesh Patel that there is no Epstein list, no Epstein files, or if there are files that Trump is not in them, or even that the whole thing is a Democrat hoax. 

The age of sexual consent in the UK  is 16,Giuffre would have been termed something else if indeed have happened in the Uk,trafficked,she knew what she was doing.

Yes.  So if Andrews commits the sex crime overseas he can still be charged under UK law.

Either overseas or in the UK.

As much as what happened to Virginia Guiffre was abhorrent and should not be forgotten she ddid receive compensation of £6 million. I have to agree with you that this certainly seems like an attempt to squeeze even more money out of this tragic tale but I do not see why anyone should pay this to her family. The offence happened to Virgina not to them.

Maybe the full probe should be into this woman’s mother who would have known exactly what was going on and clearly condoned it but I don’t think the Guifre family have any right to anything

I doubt it. He is no threat to anyone anymore.

 

Prince Andrew seems to be happily engaging in a slow motion car smash of his own making!

 

He is out, disgraced, finished as an active member of the Royal Family who have actively rejected him. His vain attempts to reinsert himself result in public derision and are essentially ignored by the palace. He is heading for financial ruin due to his determination to remain in his grand mansion. No one really takes any notice of him, his irrelevance must be the bitterest pill to a man as self important as he is. His main real legacy now is that his bizarre Newsnight Interview will long be regarded, laughed at and studied by politics and media students alike as  one of the stupidest attempts ever to manipulate the media.

 

I suppose the bet that could be said of him is that "every family has one" - the Trotters had Rodney!

Nowhere in the article does it state the family are seeking further financial reward! It suggests they are looking that an entitled thoroughly unpleasant man suffers the consequences of his exploitive actions. Some of the alleged rapes occurred under US jurisdiction.

Bingo! Deflection and thinly veiled victim blaming in one paragraph. Good on ya Jonny for keeping the Epstein scandal in social discourse. The orange moron will not be happy.

The Epstein files must be released.

After all, as the law and order mob never fail to tell us, “if you’ve nothing to hide you’ve nothing to fear “.
