Epstein accuser sues Prince Andrew for alleged sex abuse
NBC ^ | 8-9-21 | Sarah Fitzpatrick and Rich Schapiro

Posted on 08/09/2021 6:46:53 PM PDT by dynachrome

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.K.’s Prince Andrew alleging that he sexually abused her when she was 17 years old.

The lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre accuses Andrew of sexually abusing her on separate occasions – in London, New York and on Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands – about 20 years ago when she was under the age of 18.

The suit says Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell compelled Giuffre to engage in sexual acts with Andrew, and that he knew she was a sex-trafficking victim.

“Twenty years ago Prince Andrew’s wealth, power, position, and connections enabled him to abuse a frightened, vulnerable child with no one there to protect her. It is long past the time for him to be held to account,” says the lawsuit filed Monday in New York, which seeks damages for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Giuffre has made the allegations in court papers and in TV interviews before, including on NBC’s “Dateline.” But the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York amounts to a new front in her bid to hold Andrew, now 61, accountable for allegedly sexually abusing her when she was a teenager.

“The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions,” Giuffre said in a statement. “I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”

Millions of teenagers have lousy parents. Not very fair to go down that road.

That’s quite a claim.

That arm around the waist has a sense of possession and familiarity.
A fella holds a gal like that when he wants to hit it, has hit it or is hitting it.
Meanwhile the Madame stands back with a smile on her evil mug.

My recollection was that Randy Andy was a switch hitter.

The question is, is that hand real or photoshopped?

Anyone who thinks this is unusual for the Monarchy had better go back and take a look at the past.

Some of them would screw a rock pile just to get the snakes out of it.
