This royal has shown no shame over the past week as he has made multiple public appearances despite knowing more of his rapes of underage teens are going to be made public.

Prince Andrew

Royal family worked to protect Prince Andrew in Jeffrey Epstein scandal, alleged victim’s attorney says

Jeffrey Epstein’s recent arrest for the alleged sex trafficking of underaged girls is expected to lead to more sordid revelations this summer that could involve any number of his rich and powerful friends in politics, business and entertainment.

The revelations could be especially unpleasant for Prince Andrew and the royal family, according to new reports in Vanity Fair, the New York Post and the Sunday Times UK.

“Nobody who was around Epstein a lot is going to have an easy time now. It’s all going to come out,” attorney David Boies told Vanity Fair. Boies is representing Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has claimed in a 2015 lawsuit and in a 2011 interview that she was one of Epstein’s alleged “sex slaves.” She has alleged that Epstein directed her to have sex with the Duke of York on three separate occasions in the early 2000s when she was 17.

Boies told Vanity Fair that the royal family actively worked to “discredit” the allegations against Andrew, 59, who is said to be the queen’s favorite son.

Andrew’s situation also could be a factor in the lenient plea deal and 13-month jail sentence Epstein received in 2008, when he originally was charged with sexual abuse of minors, Vanity Fair added.

There is speculation that the deal, crafted by former federal prosecutor Alex Acosta (who just resigned as Donald Trump’s labor secretary) was at least in part designed to help protect Andrew, Vanity Fair said. According to one theory, George W. Bush’s White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein to protect Andrew on behalf of the British government, then the U.S.’s closest ally in the Iraq war.

“The royal family did everything they could to try and discredit the Prince Andrew stuff,” Boies told Vanity Fair. “When we tried to follow up with anything, we were stonewalled. We wanted to interview him, they were unwilling to do anything.”

Vanity Fair said Prince Andrew could not be reached for comment about Boies’ comments. Buckingham Palace has never denied that Andrew was friends with Epstein, but it has repeatedly denied that he engaged in any sexual impropriety with minors.

Buckingham Palace reiterated this position in a statement issued last week to the Daily Beast, saying, “The Duke of York has not visited any home of Mr Epstein or met with him since November 2010. … As we have repeatedly said, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.” – Source
