Ghislaine Maxwell Found Guilty

Has she indeed? I thought the jury might not agree a verdict -they seemed to be split at one point. I wonder where this leaves Prince Andrew!

Justice has prevailed ….. watching the post verdict discussion on Court TV

Considering the number of charges and vast amounts of documentary evidence, the jury haven't taken very long to reach their verdict have they? I wonder what impact this verdict will have on PA?

Well, well, well.
I certainly had little sympathy for her and if it is all true (as we can presumably now believe after the verdict) what twisted perverts they both were.

Deedaa

Has she indeed? I thought the jury might not agree a verdict -they seemed to be split at one point. I wonder where this leaves Prince Andrew!

This statement was lodged by Prince Andrew’s Counsel on 24th December:

The Duke of York has made an “unprecedented” request for all witness testimony taken in his sexual abuse case to be kept secret, it has emerged.

He wants “depositions, including his own, to remain under seal, even if neither party declares the evidence confidential.“

I hope I will soon hear no more about it as the pronunciation of her name has jarred with me. I had a French colleague for many years called Ghislaine and she pronounced it “zhees-Len” so the “Gelaine” of the news reports has just sounded wrong to me!

I always pronounced it Zhees-len, MayBeMaw so assumed I'd been wrong all these years.
Her mother was French I believe.

It will be interesting if Andrew D of Y's request is granted but I don't know why it should be.

Thank freaking goodness

However her name is correctly pronounced, I am pleased she was found guilty.
So, Prince Andrew is still trying to cover his back.

Well I imagine my French colleague knew how to pronounce her own name so I can only assume Maxwell's is an Anglicised version

The name Ghislaine has two different pronunciations. The first pronunciation, which is more common in most of France and in Belgium is Ghee-lehn. The second pronunciation, which is more common in the south of France and in Canada is Jeez-lehn

Hurray - we’re all right!

Bet there are quite a few agitated grey haired blokes out there tonight.

The way some pronounce it sounds more like French the perfume.
It is Zheeslen.

Anyway, I'm pleased with the verdict.

Good Verdict

Wonder if Andrew is sweating now.

Wonder if Andrew is sweating now.

I wondered about that too but, according to GM's attorney, her conviction weakens any case against him.

She must know a great many secrets. Names. She chose not to take the stand. After Epstein, she’s likely terrified. Well, I would be.

Mind you, conspiracy theorists think he’s not dead. Living another life of luxury. Changed appearance. False papers. Money could do that for you. Not his own of course, but that from friends in high places to keep him quiet. Anything is possible I suppose.

A most satisfactory outcome in my opinion.

There will be many rich and powerful men who will now be worrying about what will come out next.

Good Verdict

???

Good. The verdict I was hoping for.

So Andrew thinks himself above the law. What a coward, abusing his royal status to hide behind.

I can’t think of any reason why Prince Andrew’s evidence should be kept secret.

The RF cannot act is if they are above the law.

Their marital shenanigans exist in every generation right down now to William.

Maxwell, allegedly, might be able to reduce her sentence, if she supplies evidence of others involved.

It remains to be seen whether she does or not, but I bet a few powerful men are sweating now….

BREAKING: Prince Andrew has proven he is not guilty of sexual offences by attempting to get off on the technicality that his accuser is now living in Australia, rather than America, so she shouldn't be allowed to sue. This is totally the type of thing an innocent person would do.
