(not satire – it’s the UK press!)
I have absolutely no idea about the veracity or not of the claims connecting Prince Andrew with accusations of paedophilia and child rape.
But the subtle attempts in the mainstream press to undermine the seriousness of the accusations by avoiding words like ‘paedophilia’ and ‘rape’ are noticeable:
Palace takes unusual step to deny Prince Andrew underage sex claims
Prince Andrew has not just been accused of having “sexual relations with an underage girl” who had been “forced into sexual slavery”.
He’s been accused of raping a child.
Or perhaps the UK press think that it’s only working class people who can commit such crimes?

Please feel free to comment. And share.

I can’t comment on this article, without it being a foul-mouthed tirade so I’ll pass on what I think, one thing for sure though: as with the Westminster Paedophiles, he will get away with his crimes.

Twaddle. She was 17 when (according to her) they first had sex and that was in the UK where the age of consent is 16.

Of course, one could be entirely cynical. The British aristocracy have been ‘shagging’ each other for hundred’s of years. What’s an underage young woman to them?

If she was 17 *and* it was *consensual* that is, potentially, a different matter. The allegation is that she was raped — quite another question.

The age of consent in Florida, Virginia Roberts’s residence, is 18. And it’s a crime to engage in any sexual activity with a female under that age. And more worrying it is a crime to ‘transport a minor over the State line’ to engage in ‘sexual activity’. I suspect Andrew will not be visiting the USA in the near future.

Of course as we all know its just lower class persons ie subjects who commit such crimes as our ” betters ” are officers and gentlemen would not do such dreadful things would they Peter Morrison and Sir L**n Br*tt*n now would they? then again the upper classes have been f*cking the lower orders for centuries now
I think the subtext here is eff orff you plebs and mind your own business
Better watch out it might lead to ” insurrection” in the rank and file .

It is unlikely that a rich man having sex with a trafficked woman would realise that he was “raping” her. That the woman was being forced to have sex is unquestionable, but the “customer” she was being supplied to would not be the person doing the forcing, and would not necessarily realise that she was acting under duress. The girl would be required by her trafficker to please the customer and pretend to be enjoying the experience.

redangelas: This is an absurd supposition! A ‘rich man’ knows if they are commiting rape or posh private education is truly shit.

Not only having non-consensual sex (ie, rape) with a minor, and a trafficked minor at that, but also, and almost unreported in the UK media, the allegations are that Andrew used his influence to pressurise the prosecutors in Florida to go easy on his buddy the pimp and banker.
This charmer cut a deal and pleaded guilty to one count of sex with a child of 14 and one count of procuring the child to others. He did 13 months of an 18 month sentence, and a few days after being released was photoed having a stroll in the park with His Royal Highness.
As there were charges against him of similar offences against 40 other named individuals, and as some of those people claim they were not consulted about the dropping of charges (which makes the plea offer dubiously legal), he did get off a tad lightly.

“I did NOT have sex with that *woman!” sound familiar?

They don’t call him ‘Randy Andy’ for nothing!! There’s no smoke without the back of your trousers catching alight, that is, unless you are Royal Family….It is instrumental that Ghislaine Maxwell was involved in this prostitution of a minor, acting as the go-between Madame…. we know what a shyster/fraudster old Bob Maxwell was, so that just about says it all.

No, it’s the correct use of language for the places where the putative crime exists, or (as in the UK) isn’t relevant due to the lower age of consent.

The court papers refer to girls as young as 12 being abused. That’s illegal in the UK too in case you didn’t know.

I somewhat agree with what you are saying, but she was 17…. I don’t think that qualifies as pedophilia.
