Queen Elizabeth is Shielding Prince Andrew From Prosecution Over Sex Crimes

[QUOTE]Prince Andrew has avoided “multiple attempts” to serve him legal papers on behalf of his sex assault accuser, bolting 500 miles to the safety of mom Queen Elizabeth II’s Scottish getaway Balmoral, days before the first hearing.

As a mother, I'm sure she believes Andrew's (highly questionable) assertions that he's innocent. I also wouldn't be surprised if she feels this is part of a growing push (largely from America) to try and bring down the monarchy. So, I won't get angry for a mother trying to protect her son (despite that fact he's 60 and more than old enough to deal with his own shit). That being said, I think she needs to hand him over to Charles and Andrew to deal with in a more dispassionate manner.

Andrew is believed to have made the dash north in an attempt to avoid the humiliation of being physically served papers in Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s upcoming civil lawsuit against him.

The paper says there have been “multiple attempts” to serve the papers on Andrew at his home, Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.

Andrew is reported to have been going “stir-crazy” at the property. Although the Lodge, which was formally the late queen mother’s home, has extensive grounds that are a far from claustrophobia-inducing 98 acres, Andrew has reportedly been unwilling to go outside for fear of being pounced on by agents working for famed U.S. attorney David Boies.

This is clearly bullshit. The Queen has zero ability to unilaterally put a stop to legitimate legal maneuvers against members of her family. If there is a real threat to Andrew, it's because Boris won't (or can't) stop it. Maybe if those warmongering Tories weren't so quick to shit on Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan, he'd be more keen to help out.

So she claims. But she’s lied about quite a lot of things and I’m starting to think she’s completely made this up for money.

This is pretty damning & backed up by evidence. There is, at the very least, reasonable doubt as to whether Prince Andrew ever fucked her.

Back when the demon Meghan Kelley was on NBC, she had arranged an interview with her a few years ago, but Kelley discovered numerous holes in Virginia's claims (including the fact she had lied under oath before) and that's why Gloria Allred dropped her.

Virginia is backed up by no witnesses whatsoever. She has ONE guy who says he saw her with Andrew in a place that Andrew has never visited and at a time when it’s impossible for him to have been there.

Andrew says he doesn’t remember the photo being taken. Do you have any conception of how many people he’s posed for photos with over the years? Why are you choosing to characterise that as a “lie”?

FACT: There is precisely zero evidence that he ever slept with Andrew’s and rather a lot of evidence that she is a pathological liar and is simply trying to make money.

Evidence matters to most people. Not to people like you, of course, for whom it’s all about the narrative…evidence be damned.

Seriously? That’s your “evidence”? That some woman saw PA in a nightclub with a young blonde woman?

Doing what? Shagging?

There’s little doubt that Andrews was in London with Epstein & Maxwell and met PA. She asked to have her photo taken with him to show her mother. Maybe they all went to Tramp, who knows?

None of that adds up to a “poor trafficked girl being raped”.

And who is this “woman” who saw them? Did she know Andrews so well she could identify her from a photo a few decades later? Please. That would get laughed out of any court.

Even the journalist who broke the story came to believe that Andrews was lying, as did her own lawyer.

This whole thing has been a shameful money grab from day one.

The accuser had a shitty life, but she started hooking at 17 and stopped when she was 23.

Let me say this slowly so that even the hard of thinking like you can understand - there is no evidence whatsoever that PA had anything at all to do with Andrews. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

She has repeatedly lied under oath & initially invented an orgy with 8 people including Andrew that turned out to be a lie.

The journalist that broke her story came to believe she was lying. Her lawyer dropped her for lying. There are emails from Andrews asking to be reminded of what she’d previously told them so she could keep her story straight.

Now, let me ask you…what kind of moron is happy to see anyone convicted on the basis of no evidence whatsoever? It’s people like you who are responsible for innocent men rotting on death row because you are too fucking stupid to understand that a) evidence matters and b) your personal opinion of rhe accused does not.

[quote] Anyway the whole thing comes down to whether you believe her over Andy. I see no reason to write her off just her celebrity attorney dropped her. Andy is a sleazy turd, why is it so hard to believe that he fucked her?

R75 - If he was extradited, it would be for crimes committed in the US, not in the UK.

The reason why he hasn't been extradited is because Andrew hasn't been charged with anything in the US. You can only extradite someone if they are formally charged. And extraditions aren't guaranteed.

by Anonymousreply 76September 12, 2021 2:36 AM

R76 What I'm saying is that they won't extradite someone to face charges for a crime that isn't also a crime in the UK; the likely sentence also has to be comparable. So even if he was charged in the US and an extradition requested, it's highly unlikely it would happen as those conditions can't be met.

[QUOTE]A lawyer for Prince Andrew, who was sued last month by a woman accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was a minor, said in a Manhattan court on Monday that the lawsuit was likely to be invalid under the terms of an earlier confidential settlement — one that the prince’s lawyers have said the woman reached with Jeffrey Epstein.

[QUOTE]The hearing, coming in the closely watched lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, one of Mr. Epstein’s most prominent accusers, was the first public response from Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and suggests that his legal team will seek to beat back any attempt to allow the suit to proceed. Prince Andrew’s lawyer also argued on Monday that his client had not been properly served with legal papers in Britain.

[QUOTE]The lawyer, Andrew B. Brettler, said Ms. Giuffre’s lawsuit was “baseless, nonviable and potentially unlawful.”

[QUOTE]“We have significant concerns about the propriety of this lawsuit,” Mr. Brettler said at a hearing in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

[QUOTE]Other lawyers for Prince Andrew indicated last week in a letter to Ms. Giuffre’s lawyers that the prince would challenge the lawsuit on the grounds that Ms. Giuffre’s lawyers had not properly served him with the complaint, a routine step giving a defendant formal notice that he has been sued.

[QUOTE]“We are not instructed to appear in the claim brought by Ms. Giuffre in the Southern District of New York and we are not instructed to accept service of that claim on behalf of the Duke,” the lawyers, with the firm Blackfords, wrote.

by Anonymousreply 155October 28, 2021 1:07 PM

R155, theoretically he could be charged with violating US laws concerning sex trafficking. However, I do not think any country can be compelled to extradite one of its own citizens. Extradition laws are used for countries to get back their own citizens who have tried to flee justice.

by Anonymousreply 156October 28, 2021 1:26 PM

R155 I don't know what the various country laws are but in some countries despite whatever their own age of consent laws are it is illegal to have sex with somebody that is considered a minor in another country. Australia is an example of this.

An Australian adult over 18 can legally have sex with a 16 year old in Australia. But if they have sex with a 16 year old overseas in a country where it is illegal they can be charged in Australia.

So it really is down to what ever laws each country has for its citizens. On the other hand Andrew could be found guilty in the US and have to move to a country that won't extradite him to the US depending on where the UK stands on the matter.

R168, from reading her affidavit, where she makes no specific allegations of a criminal nature against Andrew, the only thing I can think of is that Giuffre wants money from him.

In her affidavit, she says Andrew has a sexual liking for feet, so I'm wondering just how he would have sexually assaulted her, which some people are implying. It's quite clear, even from what she says, that Andrew was just a very stupid oaf who himself was being exploited by Epstein.

[quote] After the picture, Epstein and Maxwell kissed me and said to “have fun.” They left Andy and me alone upstairs. We went to the bathroom and bedroom, which were just steps away from where the picture was taken. We engaged in sexual activities there. Afterwards, Andy left quickly with his security.

[quote]I chatted with Epstein about this the next day. I told him, “it went great.” Epstein said something to the effect of, “You did well. The Prince had fun.” I felt like I was being graded. It was horrible to have to recount all these events and have to try to meet all these needs and wants. I told Epstein about Andy’s sexual interests in feet. Epstein thought it was very funny.

Giuffre never accuses Andrew of being involved in her trafficking or of asking Epstein to send her anywhere for him. Read the affidavit and what she says about Andrew. He did nothing beyond being stupid and allowing Epstein and Gizzle Maxwell to exploit him. Guiffre even says Epstein and Maxwell laughed about him behind her back and that Epstein was trying to get her to feed him information about Andrew.

The account she gives of meeting him in London suggests that not only did she consent to sex with Andrew but she even texted or called her mother and grandmother on the evening she was introduced to him to tell them the exciting news that she had met a prince and she even had the infamous photograph taken with him to show them. She must have had a certain level of agency to ask for a photograph to be taken and Andrew must have been incredibly dumb to agree to have that photo taken. Or he in fact did not have sex with her and had simply been introduced to her as a friend of Epstein and/or Maxwell and so agreed, as a friendly gesture, to have his photograph taken with her so she could show her mum and gran.

Giuffre undermines her own more serious accusations about all the other men Epstein introduced her to with this obsessive focus on Andrew, who even from her own words is only guilty of being a stupid person who is easily exploited. It makes it seem that all she cares about is getting money from him.
