  1. His freedom was not at stake. He cannot be imprisoned over a civil case.

  2.  @bogeyonanostrilhair9568  I'm assuming this is Andrew's social media account speaking to me? Either that, or you're the most gullible person on Earth. That interview alone was enough to prove his guilt to me, and coincidentally, 90% of the rest of the country, hence the start of his downfall, the loss of all privileges, titles, and patronages. Criminal charges have not been ruled out, but Andrew refused to go speak to the FBI about it when requested. I have zero problem seeing Giuffre as whatever. But she has won TWO of these cases now and never had charges brought against her. Moreover, given that she was groomed by Maxwell for years, and was a minor in all three relevant jurisictions, it feels to me as though you are victim shaming. On the other hand, Andrew has blatantly lied (badly) at every stage, used slimy legal manouevres to avoid accountability, and even his own mother (who considered him her favourite) and brother have virtually disowned him. And now, having proclaimed that he looked forwards to proving his innocence in a jury trial, he has instead paid her off. Like innocent people don't.

  3.  @bogeyonanostrilhair9568  According to both US and British law, being a partner or knowing beneficiary of a crime is still a crime.

  4. They're both scumbags. She was supposedly interested in proving it in court, so she betrayed every person who hoped for justice. HE supposedly wanted his day in front of a jury, but instead has simply bought his way to absolution. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the royal family.

  5.  @bogeyonanostrilhair9568  Transporting someone across state lines for sex is a crime though. A BS crime, but a crime nevertheless. As is traficking.
