Prince Andrew and the underage sex scandal.
Nothing quite like a good royal sex scandal. I suppose there was a reason why he was nick-named "Randy Andy."

Buckingham Palace has denied "any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors" by Prince Andrew, after he was named in US court papers.
A woman named him in documents she filed in a Florida court over how prosecutors handled a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein.
She claims that between 1999 and 2002 she was forced by Epstein to have sex with the prince when she was a minor.
The palace said it would not comment in detail on the legal proceedings.
But a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: "This relates to long-standing and ongoing civil proceedings in the United States, to which the Duke of York is not a party.
"As such we would not comment on the detail. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue"....
...
The woman says she was forced to have sexual relations with the prince in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein.
She also claims she was forced to have sex, when a minor, with prominent lawyer and former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "My only feeling is if she's lied about me, which I know to an absolute certainty she has, she should not be believed about anyone else.
"We know she's lied about other public figures including a former prime minister and others who she claims to have participated in sexual activities with, so I think it must be presumed all her allegations against Prince Andrew were false as well."
The woman has issued a statement through her lawyers, saying she was "looking forward to vindicating my rights as an innocent victim and pursuing all available recourse", adding that she was "not going to be bullied back into silence".
Her accusations are contained in a motion filed in a Florida court this week, which is part of a legal case over how federal prosecutors handled the case of Epstein.
The court document, first reported on by Politico Magazine, alleges: "Epstein also sexually trafficked the then-minor Jane Doe (a name used in US legal proceedings for people with anonymity), making her available for sex to politically connected and financially powerful people.
"Epstein's purposes in 'lending' Jane Doe (along with other young girls) to such powerful people were to ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political, and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information.".

Sounds like he gave her "the royal scepter", so to speak?

"The 29-year-old has accused the royal's friend Jeffrey Epstein of turning her into a sex slave who he allegedly "loaned" out to the prince three times when she was 17.'' Underage? ''The age of consent for sexual activity in the UK is 16. In England and Wales, the age of sexual consent for women has been set at 16 since 1885, when campaigners fought to raise it from 13 to prevent child prostitution.''Anchor Moy wrote:The tabloid version - a bit more sensational :

Maybe ok in the UK, and not sure about New York, but I'm pretty sure the problem is that the age of consent on the Caribean island is 18, and the girl was 17 at the time.
Yeah, the "sex slave" description is from the Daily Mirror who are not given to understatement (or confirmed facts.)
However, if the BBC is running the story, I suppose there is something to substantiate it.

She claims the tycoon flew her to his US Virgin Island, Little St James, where the age of consent is 18.

Thx SD. It's quite poetic that they flew her to a "Virgin Is."Soi Dog wrote:Kuroneko wrote: "The 29-year-old has accused the royal's friend Jeffrey Epstein of turning her into a sex slave who he allegedly "loaned" out to the prince three times when she was 17.''
