So now it is going from “I’ve never met nor had sex with her” to “she was old enough to consent for sex therefore I didn’t break any laws”.
You can’t proof I hid 10 bodies in the forest they were ugly anyway.
But he reliably informed us all he was at pizza express in Woking and had never met her!
Could this upstanding pillar of the royal family possibly be… Lying?!
Obviously. However the issue is that she was trafficked for the purposes of prostitution and that made having sex with her an act of rape.
“What if the minor consented tho”
Prince Andrew is truly becoming a fully-fledged Libertarian
If you’re holding people against their will on a private island, they can’t consent to anything no matter what age they are.
The man doesn’t even sweat and loves pizzas with the poor people!!
But I thought he was at the Woking Pizza Express, not sweating at all?
the queen protects this rapist making her complicit
This is par for the course in legal proceedings, you can advance multiple points in defence of your client.
Your primary position would be X didn’t do Y, but you’d plead in the alternative that even if it is proven that X did Y, this wouldn’t lead to legal culpability because A B C.
The lawyer is just doing their job.
So it went from having dinner at pizza express to she consented and is fine on a potential technicality. Guess that makes it alright, hein Andrew?

Not sure why the Met aren’t jumping in to give them legal council and remind them that police forces don’t investigate crimes in the past? This is surely valuable information his defence team is missing out on?
The dodgy thing about this is that he doesn’t have to admit ever meeting her if they can attack the law in which she is persuing him. It all becomes moot.
It isn’t unusual for under 18s to be given more protection under the law than just the age of consent.
In the UK it is illegal to possess pornographic images of someone under 18, or to pay for sex with someone under 18. I think most people understand why such laws are a good thing.
For an extremely wealthy, extremely privileged, 60 year old bloke to argue that it *isn’t fair* that the law offers extra protections to a 17 year old girl is, well, an unusual take.
She was old enough to consent to sex under *British* law, too. That’s beside the point, though, because regardless of where it happened she was too young to legally consent to any form of sex *work,* which is what Epstein and Maxwell had her doing.
Thats quite a jump from “never seen her in my life” to “she’s legal somewhere”.
So sexual tourism instead? Isn’t that still a fucking crime? I lose hope every day that these rich assholes will ever be brought to justice.
That can’t be true, I saw him at pizza express in woking and he didnt even break a sweat
He was out eating pizza and definitely not sweating anyway. Don’t need consent for that shit.
If we lived in medieval times- My client would not have committed any crime!
I don’t see why this is relevant, as he was clearly in Pizza Express in Woking not sweating.
“I’ve never met her, but if I had then she was old enough and giving me bedroom eyes – I imagine”
I work with a lot of people who work closely with members of the royal family (think civil servants) and honestly everyone I’ve spoken to, down to the most diehard monarchist, despises Andrew with a passion. And Camilla, they also say she’s awful. But mostly they hate Andrew.
“She may have been only 15 but she had the body and desires of a grown woman!”
Ugh, he and his team and anyone caping for him are all vile.
So he did do it!!! Not that we didn’t already know…
Old enough to consent to what Andrew? Nothing happened right?
Fair enough, but we’re in the UK and still think he’s a pedo.
