TwoPints Posted 23 January, 2015 Share Posted 23 January, 2015 Yep, nothing to see here. If Andy says he's in the clear, who am I to argue. I can't imagine that anyone with money and power would wish to do such a thing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 23 January, 2015 Author Share Posted 23 January, 2015 He is hardly likely to say yep, it is a fair kop. I am guilty as charged. What I find funny is that his ex wife, who was caught out "at it" when married to HRH is coming out saying her ex hubby is totally innocent of all wrong doing. They all seem to think they are immune to public scrutiny. We pay for these people and they are accountable for their behaviour. In the good old days we could remove their heads from their shoulders.

hutch Posted 23 January, 2015 Share Posted 23 January, 2015 Has he actually been accused of breaking any law? His private life is his private life. He should not be made available, on demand, to assist people with their own civil damages lawsuits for compensation. If anybody brought any criminal charges against him I expect they would be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should not be made available, on demand, to assist people with their own civil damages lawsuits for compensation. If anybody brought any criminal charges against him I expect they would be answered. What he has alleged to have done would be a break of the law as I understand of a couple of levels. Firstly, she is a minor at 17 (age of consent in US is 18), and secondly she was alleged to have been part of a sex ring which had Epstein at its centre and was as part of that coerced (read raped) to have sex with multiple men. So the allegations are more serious than 'private life'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have laughed so much as when we heard that Charles (our future King god help us) wanted to be a tampon so he could be closer to Camilla! This whist married to someone else.

sadoldgit Posted 23 January, 2015 Author Share Posted 23 January, 2015 Apparently they have found a post script for the original Magna Carter. It says that all of the above are agree as long as members of the Royal Family can continue to sh@g around with impunity for as long as the monarchy stands.

That isn't true. Incorrect - the papers have been filed in Florida (where I presume it is alleged to have occured).

Although just as serious in the coercion allegation via sex ring. Maybe so but there is no allegation that HRH was a part of any ring, just that he may have benefitted. This is a civil case, not criminal. There are no criminal charges against anybody. It is a transparent attempt to get a financial settlement by putting pressure on famous people. I'm no royalist, but I hope in this instance that the royal machine gives it short shrift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 23 January, 2015 Share Posted 23 January, 2015 Florida isn't the US. The allegation is that he had sex with her in New York.

hutch Posted 23 January, 2015 Share Posted 23 January, 2015 There might be, but that wouldn't be true either. The Virgin Islands has it's own legal system and it's own Courts. The age of consent is 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 24 January, 2015 Share Posted 24 January, 2015 (edited) Raping 2 year olds or drunk sex with a 17 year old. Massive difference. Read the mainstream and you wouldn't think so. It's a black and white thing for them - you are either a rapist/paedophile or you are not. Ask Ched or Graham Rix. It's all a matter of scale. For me, kill the former without mercy and have some balance about the latter. It's not hard, it ****es me off the way it's all reported.

Are you saying Prince Andrew is getting the same type of coverage as Ian Watkins? Your post is far more black and white (in fact, just wrong) than anything you are complaining about.
