Prince Andrew served with legal papers over sexual assault lawsuit (Telegraph)

It’s certainly not true that he never knew the girl as we’ve all seen the photograph. I cannot see how he can possibly deny knowing her in the full knowledge that there is a photograph of him with his arm around her waist. Normally if an event was forgotten, a photograph would jog the memory.
Apparently this weekend he is holding a shooting party at Balmoral. It’s as if he is deliberately cocking a snook at the American courts. He is showing pure contempt for the process of American law.

Caleo please do not speak of Our Lord with mockery .

Andrew lied.

Virginia Giuffre lied ,

I think there is a saying that if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. Quite applicable here.

You're right about that saying nanna8.

Yes they've both lied Annie so it's going to be very difficult to be able to believe either of them,

I see there is a pre-trial meeting today to see if enough has been done to deliver the papers to PA or whether more is required.

Anniebach, please be reassuured I don't and did not! Absolutely the opposite. You are probably the only Gran who failed to understand what I meant.

So sorry Caleo

Okay Anniebach pet!

PS my typo error. Should be "probably NOT the only gran who------"

Well I must be a bit thick Caleo. I posted further back to say I was missing something. ?

Just saw NOT Caleo ?

I do think it's ridiculous that PA is being so uncooperative. Why??

Just seen on Sky News that he is contesting.

Is it just him or is he being very badly advised? The slippery he gets in trying to evade a court hearing the more guilty he looks.

Anniebach

Sex with a 17 year old is not a crime in this country yet he can be found guilty of having sex with a 17 year old in this country

This is not a criminal prosecution. It is a civil case.

Caleo

I feel it would be great for British morale if Prince Andrew faced up to the allegations in an American court, even if he lost. If Prince A did so he'd be setting an example of moral courage that would inspire us. It takes guts to shoulder blame and pay the penalty even if you are innocent.

well, it wouldn't inspire me! Why on earth would anyone be expected to 'shoulder blame and pay the penalty even if you are innocent'. Is this some kind of nationalist rant about the British sticking it to the Yanks?

Apparently his lawyers are trying to find any legal loophole to allege that the papers were not properly solved. It doesn't look good does it when you have to scrabble around looking for minor technicalities to avoid facing the issue. No doubt even when and if they accept service has been properly carried out, they will continue to use technicalities to thwart the process.

Good you have inside information that the papers were actually delivered correctly.

Surely it’s what lawyers do

Apparently his lawyers are saying because she got money from Epstein it means PA is off the hook and she doesn't deserve anything. It sound so dodgy. It's almost as if they are saying it's irrelevant if he did anything.

It depends what was in the agreement when she received the money from the Epstein payout.

Itt doesn't really matter if they are served properly or not. Surely a member of the RF is expected to behave better than using a technicality to avoid a court hearing.

Judge gives Virginia Roberts lawyers another week to serve legal papers.

Tricky as Andy doesn't want to receive papers.

The more I read about this the more I get the impression that it is mainly about money not justice.
