Prince Andrew 'knows what he's done', claims Epstein accuser
Royal has previously denied Virginia Giuffres accusation that she was forced to have sex with him

An accuser of the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday addressed her accusation that she was coerced into sex with Prince Andrew, saying the royal knows what hes done.
Virginia Giuffre had already alleged in 2011 testimony that Andrew knows the truth about Epsteins abuse of underage girls and said he should be made to testify. In a December 2014 court filing she alleged that she was made to have sex with Andrew and other friends of Epstein.
The prince has always vehemently denied the allegations. In 2015 a court decided that the allegations made by Giuffre about the prince were immaterial and impertinent and ordered them to be struck out of a claim against Epstein.
On Tuesday, Giuffre spoke to reporters outside federal court in Manhattan. She was one of nearly two dozen women who spoke about alleged sexual abuse by Epstein during a unique court proceeding scheduled after the financiers death in prison on 10 August, which was ruled a suicide.

Prince Andrew 'knows what he's done', claims Epstein accuser (Original Post)

(40,212 posts)1. Prince Andrew would like for us to believe
that Epstein behaved entirely differently in Andrews presence than he did with everyone else. And he would have us believe that the environment on the plane and in Epsteins homes was transformed when he was there.
That just doesnt square with everything I know about the world.

...he is also the Queen's favorite child.

She's the one who can put this question to rest, one way or the other.

what Randy Andy and all the other players (tRUMP et al) have done. Epstein is not the only one who could provide that information.
