Epstein accuser sues Prince Andrew, claiming sex assault at 17

…from Politico

[ Editor’s Note: Virginia Giuffre has finally sued, after all of this time, a big step, but one which she describes below was not taken lightly. If she is moving forward based on her allegations alone, she will have a steep uphill battle.

Is she thinking she needs to get her case in play, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s case is in the courts, with pressure on her to make a deal so as not to die in prison, and possibly get a plea deal by confirming Giuffre’s story?

It has been widely reported the copious video taping was done for entertainment reviewing, and many reports that the Epstein gang appears to have run one of the most successful blackmailing operations in US history, something that only a major intelligence organization could be behind.

Suspect number one in that regard could be a small country in the Mideast who has a long reputation among the top ten Intel orgs as having been aggressive in such work, as politicians the world over are incredible suckers for such ensnarement.

Law enforcement agencies that have knowledge of this will have their feet in the fire to not release it, possibly even with serious penalties mentioned if they do. It is the type of mess that people would want to avoid like the plague.

We shall have to wait and see, and I for one would not place a bet on the outcome of this story. Bigger and worse ones, like 9-11, with huge amounts of material have come out to totally debunk the childish investigation, and yet there have been no screams from the ‘alleged law enforcement’ community, which certainly knows what a bad joke the cover story for 9-11 was.

But maybe, just maybe, someone has been holding back some key information. VT shot all of ours off, and had a complete lockdown put on it by mass media and others. We could not do it by ourselves… Jim W. Dean ]

NEW YORK — One of Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accusers sued Prince Andrew on Monday, saying he sexually assaulted her when she was 17. Lawyers for Virginia Giuffre filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court.

“I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me,” she said. “The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.

“I did not come to this decision lightly,” she added. “As a mother and a wife, my family comes first — and I know that this action will subject me to further attacks by Prince Andrew and his surrogates — but I knew if I did not pursue this action, I would be letting them and victims everywhere down.”

…“I can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened,” Andrew said.

According to the lawsuit, the prince abused Giuffre on multiple occasions when she was under the age of 18.
