Why Do The Press Say Prince Andrew Had Sex...

[trt]

with an under aged girl, when she was 17 years old?

Thought the age limit was 16.

[tonyav]

Not in the state of Florida USA though, trt. Its 18.

[grumpy01]

If Prince Andrew has been involved with this girl then he has been very silly.If he has not then he has been keeping some very ill judged company.

[grasscarp]

I think this is going to end like the OJ trial when it was said at the beginning - there are only 2 things you need to know. One is that he is guilty and two is that he is going to get away with it.

This story has been doing the rounds for years, I suppose that in the light of these seemingly endless reports of historic sex abuse cases this was due for another airing. I believe that the girl was paid well for her 'services' and was happy enough to be Jeffrey Epsteins 'muse' and do his bidding. It is doubtful she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, from what I have read about the rich and famous girls were offered to visiting dignitaries, in much the same way as drugs are. As you say trt she was 17 and not unaware of the part she played.

You got that bit dead right, grumpy. One of his old pals is a convicted paedophile !.

I feel sorry for him, because I hear he had to cut his skiing holiday short because of this.

[anneasquith]

he had to come of the piste early ?

[PankySmooch]

I'm pretty sure the establishment are working their nuts off to 'bury' this story and those involved in it.

[PankySmooch]

You can be sure the UK's Special Representative for International Nut Burying will be keeping a low profile from now on

unfair, grasscarp, OJ got off because the case was completely bungled: the cops were racists and the fatal glove, which they hung their case on, didn't fit. They had their day in court, they brought in all the evidence they had, and it just didn't work.

[anotheoldgit]

Bill Clinton once said,

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

[jd_1984]

She wasn't an adult, but was deemed old enough to make her own decision on whether to have sex. The press should be careful how they word this as "under age" in this country makes you think under 16

[lynbrown]

It seems he had 5 policemen on the skiing holiday this week. Heaven knows how much that cost. Do they actually go on the slopes with Andrew? Where were these guys when Andrew was draping himself round the crooks and hookers? Could a word in his ear not been arranged?

[grasscarp]

Obviously it is a lot more dangerous to be in a 22,000 pounds a week chalet in the best part of Verbier than on his jaunts with Epstein. 5 bodyguards!!!!

[mushroom25]

He may have to invoke the "Shaggy Defence".

And how many security men and police officers do we pay to protect Tony Blair these days? It was a £2m a year bill in 2009

I see she's bringing a book out telling us all about it

[Old_Geezer]

It is probably deliberate (and accurate) by the media jd. But she wasn't deemed old enough to make her own decision on whether to have sex in that State. There is no universal agreement on when one is old enough. We ought avoid falling into the trap other's tend to, and assume the world (and it's laws) stop at our own borders :-)
