Prince Andrew's bid to dismiss sex abuse accuser's lawsuit rejected by U.S. judge

Prince Andrew loses military titles and use of HRH

About Damn time.

You can't really be called 'His Royal Highness' and 'Inmate' at the same time.

I'm pretty sure you can.

It's a civil lawsuit, not criminal charges laid by the state. All Andy's looking at is having to make a payout if he loses in court. The pimping/grooming charges against Epstein/Maxwell were far more serious because any of the "tourists" to Lolita Island like Andy/Trump/Clinton could really only be charged with statutory rape, assuming that anyone in Florida's state attorney's office would even be interested in taking it that far. And if they did it would end up in OJ Simpson-land because the state would be obligated to prove that the customers knew the girls were under legal age, and all that those charged would have to do would be to deny they did know their ages.

Messy case - a prosecutor's nightmare and a defense lawyer's dream as the bills rapidly pile up. But overall it's kind of hilarious too, the way all celebrity dumb-ass legal issues turn out to be. Here's hoping Trump & Clinton end up in civil court over their participation too someday.

Bad enough when your mom takes back stuff that she gave you years ago because you've been a bad boy, I can't imagine how bad it must be when you're in your 60s.

I'm pretty sure you can.

Yes, as far as the list of crimes committed by British royalty, banging a 17 year old is pretty far down the list.

It's groady in all sorts of ways but it's no where near as bad as Andy, Trump, Clinton, etc. going to party with some twelve year-olds would have been. Back in the Middle Ages all the girls at 17 would have been married off and had three kids by then. Such is life.

Up until about 1975 it used to be that way in Quebec too. Horn it up starting at 16, three kids by 19, just like the church wanted it to be.

Are you talking out of your ass?

I'm pretty sure you can.

I don't think so. Royalty is the State, so therefore cannot commit crimes against the State. So long as he's royalty, he can't be charged criminally.



I know, but I can dream, right?

Andy should have strictly stuck to Littlefinger's brothel only, just for the added discretion.

Striped of his Title, his duties, his military honours.
Time to move on.

And selling property to pay his lawyers

Colbert summed it up perfectly.
