Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit over claims of forced sexual relations

A woman has alleged that she was repeatedly forced to have sexual relations with Prince Andrew as part of a lawsuit that claims an American investment banker passed her around rich and powerful friends as a “sex slave” while she was still underage.

The accusation was made in a lawsuit brought by women who say they were exploited by Jeffrey Epstein, an American multi-millionaire who was convicted of soliciting sex with an underage girl in 2008, reports the Guardian.

The case is directed towards federal prosecutors, and is part of an effort to expand an ongoing legal case, the Guardian reported. But it alleges that the woman “was forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a minor” in London, New York and on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, the Guardian reported.

1. Andy's got at least one friend in low places...!

Very odd how the film clip says he's "named" and the article says otherwise:

The prince is not a named party in the legal claim, and has not had any opportunity to respond to the allegations. He has previously denied any sexual contact with young women associated with Epstein or any knowledge of his behaviour.

If he's innocent of wrongdoing, good luck getting that reputation back...

2. Epstein is real scum

got a slap on the wrist. Whoopee! Too bad he can afford to buy himself out of trouble.

[monmouth4]

4. Epstein is very well known here in Palm Beach. Trouble from the word go, did 18 months in prison

and went right back to his old ways evidently. Remember, he's in the club, we're not..

[Kablooie]

8. He only did 13 of the 18 months,too.

3. Prince Andrew sex case claim denied

Buckingham Palace has denied "any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors" by Prince Andrew, after he was named in US court papers.

A woman named him in documents she filed in a Florida court over how prosecutors handled a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein.

She claims that between 1999 and 2002 she was forced by Epstein to have sex with the prince when she was a minor.

The palace said it would not comment in detail on the legal proceedings.

5. uhg

These horrible people. The F ing Queen, and her nasty little brood. How long will the world endure these horrible people who ,for largely purely ceremonial reasons its down right silly. Other planets are laughing at us. These horrible bigoted privileges imbeciles. Iam sickened every time I must be exposed to the vile content of their existence.
I am glad they are exposed by this. They murdered their own daughter in law for gods sake they spread the hate and lies of the aristocracy. They are our avowed enemy since 1776. We are still at war with 'the crown'.

[Nihil]

18. "Other planets are laughing at us."

In your case that is totally understandable ...

[arikara]

6. I believe it

just like I believe Bill Cosby is a rapist and Jian Ghomeshi is a sadistic abuser. Women are suddenly not afraid to talk anymore. Just watch, more will come out and maybe some of these creeps will get what's coming to them.

Randy Andy is apparently his mother's favourite. I can't find the barfy smiley anymore.

7. Update from Australia: ‘Sex slave’ at centre of Prince Andrew scandal fled to Australia as a teen

PRINCE Andrew is rushing back to London as the royal family was rocked by an Australian mother’s claims she was forced to have sex with him while a minor.

Buckingham Palace was in damage control, having been forced to issue a second denial in 24 hours over allegations the Prince’s close friend — a convicted paedophile — supplied the partyboy royal with under-age girls.

Virginia Roberts, 31, has accused billionaire Jeffrey Epstein of keeping her as a teen sex slave to be available on demand to him and a string of powerful friends, ­including the Prince.

“I was a paedophile’s top girl, being trained up for a British prince,” said Ms Roberts, who was used by Epstein for four years from the age of 15.

9. Supposedly including Dershowitz

who denies it. Says that when he was at the private island he was with his wife and daughter.

I truest him to handle these claims.

[appalachiablue]

10. Randy Andy's two daughters, Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie are similar in age to the girl claimant.

11. it seems like some of the uber-rich are so jaded that only transgressive sex can get them off

[nilesobek]

12. I always had a feeling it would be Harry that becomes King.

If Andrew doesn't escape this scandal it looks like my intuition might be right.

14. Duke of York strenuously denies he had ten thousand men

http://newsthump.com/2015/01/05/duke-of-york-strenuously-denies-he-had-ten-thousand-men/

Buckingham Palace has issued a strong denial that the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, has been involved in bizarre hill marching based sexual practices.

According to reports up to ten thousand men are alleged to have been involved in incidents involving the Duke.

Another man, who also claims to have been involved claimed “He was quite firm about it, when we were up we were up and when we were down we were down.”

Denying the claims a Buckingham Palace spokesman told us, “All allegations in this matter are false, and records will clearly show these men were neither up nor down.”

15. Heh.

[appalachiablue]

16. And he certainly looks like he's had a whole lot of Pudding.

[KittyWampus]

17. IDK, she doesn't quite sound like a "slave" unable to leave. Glad she found a different life.

Epstein sounds like a pig and the whole sordid underbelly of the "upper class" is stomach turning.


From an article:

She was 19, and after joking he had to trade her in for a younger model, Epstein sent her to Thailand to complete a massage course.

While thousands of miles away and alone for the first time in years, Ms Roberts met and fell in love with an ­Australian martial arts expert.

They married after just 10 days and, with the support of her new Australian husband, Ms Roberts found the courage to flee to Australia.

The couple settled on the New South Wales Central Coast in November 2002 and started a family, eventually having three children.

When she told Epstein by phone that she would not be returning, Ms Roberts said the billionaire replied: “Have a nice life.”
