    Hold on... how is there already a settlement agreement in place from 12 years ago when he said in the interview he had no recollection of even knowing her?

    EDIT: scrap that, I misread, it's the settlement Epstein made.

    The settlement was with Epstein and that woman of his who is locked up, now. Andy is claiming he's 'covered' under that.

    Yeh I edited above. I forgot about that agreement.

    That sounds so desperate.

    I wonder whether it's not him but the Royal family (or those in charge of it) who are making these decisions.

    They no longer give a fck how guilty he looks, as long as it's not proven because it protects the monarchy and that is their priority.

    Watching Newsnight and the woman's lawyer is saying that in the States, Prince Andrew can be compelled to give testimony in a civil court.

    Moreover, he says in a criminal case you can stay silent and it won't go against you, but in a civil case if he stays silent it will work against him.

    Her lawyer says that the settlement agreement will form part of the evidence of the case. He's seen the document and he reckons there isn't any significant chance it will save him from being held to account.

    she claimed diplomatic immunity and we accepted it .If we don't stick to the rules it leaves our officials hung out to dry .

    PS as far as i can tell she wasn't entitled to diplomatic immunity but that screw up is apparently down to FO probably under US pressure .

    She was entitled to diplomatic immunity by being married to a US diplomat. She initially agreed to cooperate with police inquiries and then fled the country.

    That's American ****s for you.

    The crazy part of it, is death by careless driving hardly ever gets any sort of decent sentence that relates to killing someone, people have been crying out for a change in that law for ages. She'd have probably got off with a driving ban, suspended sentence and a fine. Worse case scenario 2 years inside.

    That woman will never come back to the UK to face charges and you can take that one to the bank.

    Wholly agree ... what makes a potential crime less of a crime just because of who you work for (or that you just happen to be married to someone who works for) a country as a diplomat???

    ... and they are then gobsmacked when the 'common folk' take direct action on injustice ...

    Should be scrapped immediately for anything that would constitute a civil offence without such protection.

    Everyone's covered under that ludicrous deal.
    Motherfucker gave blanket immunity to all unnamed co-conspirators.

    If anyone wants to be horrified by more ****bags getting away with child abuse, there's more this week.
    The testimony from his victims on the Larry Nassar sexual abuse to congress has been appalling.
    That piece of **** got away with it for years because he was being protected by law enforcement.
    The question that needs to be answered is why?

    One thing that bothers me about the Andrew situation... Is where are the other women? Surely if there is one, there has to be more women out there who were underage when Andrew was banging them. Epstein had more than one pony in the stable.

    Are they being threatened, worried to be charged with prostitution, or were they all of a legitimate age and it was just the one that was too young?
