Prince Andrew settles US civil sex assault case

[Deleted member 292770]

It’s irrelevant where our money goes.
The point is we’re forking out millions for something he never did and to someone he never even met.
It’s just a scumbag operation way passed it’s sell by date. time to get rid of them. It’s a joke.

It was reported the money would go to her charity, not to herself.

No a percentage to charity also if she runs the charity she can pay herself whatever she wants and donate whatever she wants

Absolutely. Lets not be fooled by charities, many many operate in this way, tugging on the heart strings of the sympathetic donating to 3rd world countries, neglected animals etc when they only see a small percentage of that money.

So now she has all this money the girls she recruited for the ring can sue her

Oldest profession on the planet.

I think both parties are equally guilty tbh.

Fair point.

I disagree strongly.

She was only 17 and no matter how clever 17-year-olds think they are, they are not. Younger people on the whole are vulnerable to
be won over with nice words, promises of I care for you, gifts, items they could never afford, holidays to nice places they could only dream of then made to feel guilty if they say no to their groomers. It was against the law to have sex with a minor in that state legal age there is 18 I beleive ready to stand corrected

 

[The Samaritan]

Yes the press are making what they can out of it.

It looks like the press are more interested in the unproven claim of one girl and one man an two locations, than they are with the proven claims of many teenage girls and many more predatory community rape gangs in several UK cities.

So is Andy going to sue the press??

Wouldn't disagree with any of that.
But both were in it for their own gain, clearly. One was material, the other physical.

I don't have much sympathy for either of them.

Thanks
I agree, I too have no care for both of them but in the context I posted, the young lady is entitled to what she is getting.
The blokes behaviour, when asked about the incidents, was disgusting and his apology demonstrates that fact.

They are saying Andys mum is paying some of the 12 million bill - on the whole, its our the taxpayer's money.

I like the queen, Kate and their kids other than that on the whole could not care less.

The media should push for every title to be removed from this clown. Worrying, in the press release by this clown's lawyers it mentioned something about helping the vulnerable something like that I just hope no one allows him into their charity.

Has anyone read The Sun/P Morgans comments?

I'd sooner gauge my eyes out with a toothpick

Pretty sure he met her unless that picture was photoshopped.

No. She cannot run a charity and pay herself. She can work for a charity and her salary can be agreed by the trustees.

 

[Mottie]

Many of the victims of the 'grooming gangs' were also offenders, absconders, and other vulnerable young people known to the police. Some were beyond normal parental control. Some had even spent time in young offenders institutions.

So are you saying that's okay for them to be groomed then?

The more I read about this, the more it looks like she always knew what she was doing, and likely enjoyed here work.
Also, if Prince Andrew knew she was paid by Maxwell, he probably would not have posed for such a cheery photo.
The whole case looks pretty clear - a young woman was offered work as an elite escort, which she happily accepted - she was already working in hospitality as a locker room attendant before being recruited. She was paid around $15,000 to spend an evening with high class clients. Sometimes she would go to events and parties, and mingle with singles, as many escorts do. She was asked by Maxwell to go and keep Andrew company, and judging by the photo, he considered it innocent (no man would have a photo taken with an escort, ever, no matter what the situation) and he probably enjoyed the attention - he was a prince, so not unreasonable to assume that a young woman might be interested in him.

And as said, it is an old profession that attracts many people. Not everybody doing it has been "sex trafficked". Those that are, are not earning $15,000 a night, they are probably getting closer to $20 a time, a tenth of what the pimp takes, and they are not going to fancy parties, they are in grotty motel rooms.

She probably consulted lawyers after the Epstein case to see how she might be able to make some more money.

Does she look coerced? As my wife said - he was a good looking Prince, what young woman wouldn't dream of the chance to be his princess.

Or ... another thought. It was always about money - maybe the photo was specifically for the money - they originally thought they would blackmail the Prince ...
this all looks far too relaxed and happy to be a case of "I was sex trafficked and forced to have sex with millionaires".
