Crime :eek::eek::eek::eek: Prince gets away with it

Smart move on her part. Take the money, keep your mouth shut and you will not die of suicide.

 

[oldshadow]

Ok explain a few things because I haven't been keeping up with this.

I know she was abused by Epstein and had a shit life in general.

She was 17 when she met prince dick head. The legal age of consent in Britain is 16 so it may be creepy but not illegal. Is she saying he raped her? If she had sex willingly and/ or he fully believed she was a willing partner what is this about? The short version please.

What did you want the result of the lawsuit to be? The vast majority of lawsuits end with a settlement.

I wanted other names in the limelight. I wanted testimonies who would wake up people.

I usually have the same approach. This one felt different. Giuffre sounded like she wanted justice. I feel like such an idiot.

I wish every victim would come forward and fight for the justice they deserve. Unfortunately all too often all they get for this is more pain and suffering. It’s likely a life changing amount. Unfortunately the money is the only justice that is tangible.

Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre agree to settle sex abuse lawsuit
Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre have reached an out-of-court settlement in her sexual abuse lawsuit against him, according to a court document filed by her attorneys Tuesday.

The parties anticipate filing a stipulation of dismissal of the case within 30 days, according to the letter addressed to federal Judge Lewis Kaplan.

The sum of the settlement will not be disclosed, the letter says.

"Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights. Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre's character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks," the letter states.

I'm livid. This is so depressing.

???

It was a lawsuit in which her only possible remedy was getting money.

They settled the case resulting in him giving her boatloads of money.

What on earth is the problem?

 

[Koro_11]

I am. She was so close to the finish line. She could have made a difference. She said she wanted to.

You have no idea how sad this news made me. People who abuse kids and the elders are the lowest of the low. The authorities should still go after him, but they won't.

Finally something I agree with you on.

No, it wasn't the only remedy. She could get the money and a trial where a lot of people were outed. The trial was extremely important.

Maybe a solution would be if NDAs are not enforceable when a crime is involved.

QFT
That would be a great solution.

 

[Armbars]

Hillary and Billy Clinton personally advised her it's in her best interest to take that money.

 

[nostradumbass]

If she accepted the settlement then this is on her. You have to believe that the compensation or such was worth more to her than continuing on with a trial would have been.

Best for everyone to focus on the remaining cockroaches involved in the Epstein case and make their crimes see the light of day.

 

[aries]

I imagine the settlement has some version of this line, but with more legalese:

Drop it or you're dead and your loved ones will suffer for years to come.

This is what I imagine. Carrot and stick. Who's gonna risk that for a point of principle no matter how justified.

 

[MIKOM]

So this is either one of two things...

1. She was lying and was just out to extort money, which she got in the end.

Or

2. She was telling the truth, but money meant more to her than justice.

She is saying that she was forced to have sex with him, not by him but that he knew she was being sex-trafficked. And while he wasn't committing a criminal offence in Britain because she was 17 she alleged that he slept with her two other times on US territory when she was below the legal age of consent there. He has denied ever having sex with her.

3. They put a lot of 'pressure' on her to accept the money and drop the case.

 

[MicroBrew]

Woulda been better if the case went to trial but he still fooked. The fact he settled and his close links to Epstein means people will always see him as guilty and escaping justice.

 

[Otto!]

The rich have a separate justice system. Once in a while we get a token sacrifice to appease the masses, but those are the exception. I’d be curious to see how many accusations are silenced before they’re made public or brought to bear.

2. She was telling the truth, but money meant more to her than justice.

3. She is emotionally tired and doesn't want to go through a long drawn out legal process.

I hear you. A lot of times these settlements mean that nothing gets put out on the public. If it went to trial we’d be allowed to see quite a bit. Unfortunately she caved to all the pressure. This honestly is where to find me can help society

 

[Bald1]

Or

3. They put a lot of 'pressure' on her to accept the money and drop the case.

Yup, as you said, it's a carrot and stick situation. The fact that he's been disowned doesn't mean he's without influence or contacts willing back his play.
