Wow, what a surprise! Looking forward to those well-deserved consequences that he'll definitely be facing π
Consequences for rich people? What is this, communist europe?
I guess, tbf, he has had some consequences. Most people know about it and despise him, the queen pretty much disinhereted him, and history will not be kind... But it's still very bourgeoisie "consequences" .
Mofo should be in jail, but fat chance of that happening
And yet Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are treated like pariahs by the royal family. It's interesting how that works.
I think you can hardly say they're pally with Prince Andrew these days either though
I bet old Andy is really sweating now.
Nah. He's too honourable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prince Andrew is among high-profile figures named in newly released US court documents detailing connections of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The much-hyped trove - covering about 900 pages - did not appear to reveal any new bombshell revelations about Epstein, who died in jail in 2019, as he awaited federal sex-trafficking charges.
When ordering the release of the files, New York Judge Loretta Preska said many of those named had already been identified by the media or in Maxwell's criminal trial.
The files include references to Johanna Sjoberg, who has claimed that Prince Andrew groped her breast while sitting on a couch inside Epstein's Manhattan apartment in 2001.
The court documents include a section where Maxwell's lawyer seeks to debunk a media report that, shortly after he left office in January 2001, Mr Clinton travelled to Epstein's private island in the Caribbean.
French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting rape charges, is also mentioned multiple times.
The original article contains 916 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Does that ginger lad from the coronation get a public apology
The Kunts have been killing it for the past few years!
Reminder that Andrew's victim Virginia Giuffre was trafficked at Mar a Lago. Her father worked there and got her a job as a spa attendant at Mar a Lago, where she met Gishlaine Maxwell, who brought her to Epstein.
Soβ¦ a lot of noise on this shit but I donβt see anyone from those papers condemned. it feels is just more material and money for the news and social media.
