      Did we even know if he knowingly committed a crime?

      What he did was disgusting and sleazy, but we would need evidence that he knew Virginia Giuffre was being trafficked, we don’t even have enough evidence for that to speculate on.

          Can you prove it in court? If not, he shouldn’t go to prison. It’s an easy formula.

          I’m perfectly happy calling him a nonce, but I’m also one of those old-fashioned types who values the rule of law and all…

            Not even an accusation against him. He’d have to know she was being trafficked in order to be legally guilty. I wouldn’t be surprised if they chose a stupid idiot depraved prince to be their scapegoat.

          Virginia Giuffre was 17. That’s not underage according to the laws of New York, USA and England, United Kingdom.

          And I’m not defending him. I’m only stating fact. As much as I’d like to see him locked up, you can only do so within the law.
