If he poked her in the States it would have been under-aged, over here would have been ok. If he schtupped her in New York it would be a 3rd degree rape as he would have been over 21 at the time. I think it is safe to say Prince Andrew won't be visiting America again, at least not at his own will.
On her 18th birthday and nobody would have cared. 17 years 364 days and he is a vile sweaty paedo. There has to be a line drawn and it is 18 in the States, if he didn't know or care that she was under-aged or didn't know what the law said then more fool him. Looking at the photos of her and other accounts that she did the rounds with any other of Epstein's guests while she toured the world on private jets and yachts does make you wonder exactly how vulnerable she actually was. The incriminating photo of Randy Andy shows her beaming smile not crying in horror. The question is how much was she groomed by Epstein and Maxwell who were also meant to have had a harem of other young girls that they would take to parties for the pleasure of their guests. Not sure how long it will be before the court case and if the judge will subpoena Prince Andrew.
Not sure an American judge can force Andrew to turn up at court. Would we extradite him though? Not whilst the Queen is still alive would be my guess.
Even when Lizzie kicks the bucket I can't see Charlie sending his brother off to get nicked. Even if Chuck doesn't last long I doubt King Billy the Fifth will send his Uncle to face justice especially with how toxic the royals are after Meghan's Oscar winning performance as the hard done by house negro on Oprah where she effectively called him and his family racists and bad-mouthed his missus on international telly.
I just don't like how with this #metoo stuff, every man is automatically guilty. Let's face it, the wee slays would have been paid handsomely at the time and were no doubt not complaining. If they were there against their will, then that is different. *Negro
