Prince Andrew sex abuse allegation thrown out by judge

US district judge rules Virginia Roberts's claim against Duke of York be struck out as he refuses her attempt to join lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein:

A US judge has ruled that sex allegations made against Prince Andrew in court papers filed in Florida must be struck from the public record.
The Duke of York and Buckingham Palace strenuously denied the allegations in the court documents that he sexually abused a 17-year-old girl who claimed she was used as a sex slave.
Kenneth Marra, the federal district judge in West Palm Beach, has now rejected a bid by two women to join a lawsuit against the US government over its handling of the case of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire financier and convicted paedophile.
He ordered that the claims made by one of the women involving the Duke and several prominent Americans in the filings lodged by her lawyer must be removed from the court record.
The Duke was never accused of any offence and he strenuously denied the claims of the woman, who was referred to in court papers as Jane Doe 3 but who later identified herself as Virginia Roberts, now 31. A Palace official confirmed that the Prince has been briefed on the latest developments.

Good. Sex slave? What a load of old tosh.

Indeed, seems like it was thrown out very easily which clearly would be down to a lack of evidence in my view

The only thing that has been thrown out is that she cannot join other women who have made allegations against Epstein in the court case against him:

Ms Roberts and the woman known as Jane Doe No 4 wanted to join a lawsuit filed by other alleged victims. But the Associated Press said the judge turned down the request. He also ordered that sensational allegations against Prince Andrew and lawyer Alan Dershowitz stricken from the court record. Mr Dershowitz had also denied the allegations.

However, the judge did not comment on whether or not he believed the claims of Ms Roberts were true. Reports said he also left open the possibility that she could appear as a witness in later legal proceedings.

Look we know you are anti Royalty, and there is no evidence the Prince has done anything wrong.
They have now had such claims been rightly thrown out.

A separate issue I think.

Nope, that is what the judge threw out today, not her allegations about Prince Andrew, they were only deleted because she is not allowed to join the case already going on. She is perfectly at liberty to bring them up in a separate case.

It seems that what has been thrown out is her attempt to join a lawsuit against the US Government, not Epstein. Talk about confusing!

A ridiculous amount of time has passed anyway.

District Judge Kenneth Marra ruled that Virginia Roberts could not join a lawsuit against Prince Andrew’s former friend, the wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein.

What the hell does it matter how much time has passed? Do you think that makes any difference to the people who were abused as children? It ruins their lives. Very few can put it behind them, many commit suicide in later life.

Maybe it's some others who are suing the Government then.

How can anything be proved after so long? Besides, claiming to be a "sex slave" is stupid IMO. The girl was 17, not a little child.

But she wasn't 17 when he started to groom her, and groomed people do what they are told with a smile, because they are groomed to think it is normal.

Just a thought here. How many are higher up on the pecking order. If his highness is getting questioned, who is he the fall guy for. Not saying he is a good guy but the crimes he is facing seem pretty tame, in comparison to what we have read in the past, and for how long?

Did Andrew sleep around? Sure thing? Did he groom anybody? No. Did Epstein? Probably. Were they friends? Yes. Are these 2 women who have had their attempts to join the lawsuit denied trying to get back at Epstein? Most certainly and by trying to get as high a profile name(s) as possible to get attention to their case.

For what it's worth I do not believe he groomed anybody, nor used anybody as a sex slave. He is a prince and he was probably having women throw themselves at him left, right and center. That doesn't excuse slimy behaviour but it is not criminal.

That word "slimy" is putting it mildly, for a bad little fish. I suspect that there are bigger fish in much dirtier waters and still afloat now with him as a shield, and more worryingly still likely to be involved in questionable activities
