Prince Andrew fails in dismiss bid

[The Bloop]

I cannot stand Andrew., so arrogant and detached........BUT, in mitigation, it is alleged it happened in the UK, where the age of consent is 16. The text send by the accuser seems to suggest she was willing and indeed chuffed that she had 'slept' (what a euphemism...) with the Prince.
As for the trafficking element I doubt very much whether he would have been aware of that.....simply a close friend (ie JE) providing a good time for him.
Definitely not an extraditable offence.

Did she send a text each time she slept with him? There were 3 occasions- London, New York and Epsteins Island. I don't think the consent age is of any relevance. Why was she in London and how did she get there?

Of course age of consent is relevent....the (apparent) text is quite clear...and i have not read anywhere that it happened in New York
