Anybody into snooker? The Robertson/O'Sullivan qtr final's at 4 each, best of 11. Worth a watch.
 
What a shame! I'd better leave it there.
I tend to avoid media and stuff, but I'm vaguely familiar thaf this one exists and is related to Epstein; just none of the detail. I'll go out if my way to avoid this sort of story normally, which will show in my next questions.

What's the general opinion?. Is he a molestor/kiddy fiddler or whatever he is accused of or is it a media witch-hunt? I'm assuming he is guilty, but have such a strong dislike for the media I'm willing to be dubious, but not willing to research it.

Is there a strong body of evidence against him?

The bits I've read suggest that his victim was deemed too unreliable to give evidence at the Maxwell trial, but her mate, who was a star witness at that trial, has said that Guiffre went over to London with Maxwell and Epstein, with the express intention of going to bed with Andy, and messaged her mate later very happy to say she had done that. She was 17 at that time.

Therefore not illegal.

IF true, and if IF it's the only case, as the age of consent is different in many US states.

There are also questions relating to how 'willing' she was, as even if she thought it was a good idea, there's an argument that was as a consequence of grooming.
