An ‘army of legal superstars’ persuaded prosecutors to sign a controversial agreement which may have given Prince Andrew protection from prosecution, it is claimed. Highly-paid lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein – some of whom had links to the White House – secured an extraordinary deal which guaranteed ‘potential co-conspirators’ would not face criminal charges relating to his activities. They had spent months delving into the private lives of state prosecutors to establish if they had any ‘personal peccadilloes’, in a desperate bid to defend Epstein against claims of abusing scores of under-age girls at his Florida mansion.

A) The age of consent is 18.
B) He knew she was not 18.
A) Her claims make her below the age of consent but thats irrelevant as she claims she was forced.
B) Not knowing someones age is not a valid defense, the law (In the UK anyway) requires a person to go to reasonable lengths to verify someones age.
Also, there are reports already linked on this thread of eye witness accounts that have spoken about how young some of these girls at the resort looked. You can see the girl in question in the pic of him and her, c'mon lets be straight, its not like we are talking about someone who looked in there 40's are we, she did look young, even a few years later (when the pic was taken).
The six-year-old papers, seen by the Sunday People, state: “Some of the photographs in the defendant’s possession were taken with hidden cameras set up in [Epstein’s] home in Palm Beach. “On the Day of his arrest, police found two hidden cameras and photographs of underage girls on a computer in the defendant’s home.
They add that Roberts’ claims that she was forced to tell Epstein all about her sexual encounters so he could use the information to “blackmail” the royal. She further claims she was sex-trafficked to “many other powerful men, including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well known Prime Minister, and other world leaders”.

If they are so powerful and corrupt, they can surely "crush" the story or make it a non story.
Personally, if there is evidence that shows it's more likely than not that a crime took place then the guilty party should be punished - but simply making a claim is by no means enough.
Have you a particular axe to grind?
at the moment there is nothing but unsubstantiated claims
I've not seen in any article a claim that the person you seem to think is the defendant - Prince Andrew - applied any force.
In the US court papers, the woman, reported to be Ms Roberts, claims that between 1999 and 2002 she “was forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a minor
Someone has made a claim, not under oath
they have made similar claims against others in the public eye in the past that appear from what I've read to have been groundless
Does that mean a cougar lady should automatically be seen as a child sex offender?

What in Holy Hell is a Cougar Lady?
For some reason I imagine her to be a bit like Panthera (from Thundercats) and im not gonna lie to ya uncommitted, im thinkin this is a lady i'd like to be meeting. Do you have any pics of this Cougar Lady you speak so fondly of? For research, obviously!
lol, sorry, im just lightning the convo a bit
Cougar, it's a term for middle aged ladies who like young lads. It's hardly a secret term. Not quite sure where I spoke fondly or otherwise though, I would be way too old for one, lol.
All I'm saying is with no proof this is just a story for the tabloids to make a lot of money from.
A new lawsuit has revealed the extent of former President Clinton's friendship with a fundraiser who was later jailed for having sex with an underage prostitute.
Bill Clinton's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who served time in 2008 for his illegal sexual partners, included up multiple trips to the onetime billionaire's private island in the Caribbean where underage girls were allegedly kept as sex slaves.
The National Enquirer has released new details about the two men's friendship, which seems to have ended abruptly around the time of Epstein's arrest.
Just a feeling that the prince is not guilty
