... so you know for sure that he knew their age? ... and Sucksta was very unlikely to have been referring to 'statutory rape' ... so his comments are likely much closer to your analogy than you might have intended... Reality is that he could have slept with the same girl on consecutive nights whilst travelling across the good ol' USA and been guilty of statutory rape in some states whilst being legal in others ...
CBA ... it was aimed at goading Comm but was also classless ... if you need me to explain it further then you are even dumber than I thought ...
I don't hold him in any higher esteem than anyone else mate ... I would give the same respect to anybody that has passed away and wasn't a complete uber ****.
No. Just No. You can argue that Philip didn't know or that he didn't try and protect Andrew, but you can't start with that nonsense about defending Andrew. Btw even IF what you're saying is true there is something incredibly disturbing about a bloke of his age and stature doing what you just said.
Doesn't matter if he didn't. I'm the same age as Andrew, born in the same year. If I slept with a teenager it would be MY responsibility to ensure she was a consenting adult. It's not that difficult to understand. And as for the different states thing - have you seen what Gaetz is accused of? Its called sex trafficking. Again, it the responsibility of the adult to check , not the minor.
I am not defending Andrew in any way. If he is guilty of sex with a minor then he needs to face the consequences. I have merely pointed out the reality of the difference in US law from state to state and that an English Prince would be extremely popular over there. What I won't do is judge before a court does.
I have no disagreement with anything you say. I'm a year older than him and would have made damn sure.
I agree with your last point. The State to State thing I don't. Are you saying if Andrew was in some tinpot country where sex with a 14 year old was legal, that was ok because their law allows it? I don't think you would.
I responded to a post from Sucky that for me was not only lacking in respect but also classless and rather unnecessary ...
No not at all ... very different... but the girl who is now making the accusations says she met him several times... if the first time he slept with her was in a state where the age of consent was 16 so OK and the next time in a state where it was 17 whilst she was still 16 ...is that really rape? For me he needs to go to the States and either clear his name or face up to the crime ... whichever it is.... but I'm not going to pre-judge. Hopefully he will be forced to go and give evidence in the Maxwell trial and that will lead to the truth finally coming out.
... but we both know that Sucky would not have the balls to have said that to Phil's face whilst he was alive... and would have lost some teeth if he had ... so my point stands
Id say to his and yours and slap the **** out the pair of you grave dodging ****s. I got no probs smacking **** out of some old **** tbh. Scumbag rules
