Bravo. I wish I had seen your post earlier.
I don't know what's wrong with some of these ATS'ers. How can they possibly dismiss this so out of hand? Especially when they know what a serious problem this is--across the globe?
Is it okay for women and children to be raped, to be made as sex slaves, for young girls and boys to be kidnapped from their families for the misguided and criminal pleasure of someone else?
This is a huge problem, and anyone here who doesn't step up to the plate of humanity and admit this is not well, IMHO.
What is this backlash about people? Defending your country? Defending men? Why are you protesting so much what seems to be a very serious situation?
We need to applaud the people who come forward and bring these things to light. How many stories do you need to be convinced? There are hundreds upon hundreds of stories that highlight these criminal acts by powerful people.
I thought this website stood for truth.
I am so disgusted by some of the comments on here that I am sick.

Well, the attitudes some of these posters have about this subject is EXACTLY WHY the problem exists.
So many of these cases have come to light only to disappear or be forgotten about or ignored by the mainstream media. Or the whistle blower is demeaned and ridiculed---that's a common response.
I'm not sure how anyone can be blase, for example, about a six-year old girl being kidnapped from her family and initiated into a sex ring. How can you contemplate that and not want to throw up?
Sex rings, pornography, sexual slavery...all just a side of the same coin. 17 years old, 10 years old...what's the difference? As long as people are willing to exploit others for sexual gain, these problems will never go away.
And as long as there are people like here on ATS who can be so ignorant of the truth---we're not likely to see these idiots prosecuted and put away. No, our society gives them permission by turning the other cheek.

Here we have it...the British Royal Family are finally being exposed for what they are, and one of those things is involved in pedophelia. Prince Andrew has been named in court papers in the case involving Jeffrey Epstein. It claims that a woman says she was forced to be an underage sex slave to Prince Andrew many times. There have been many links between the two men which Epstein has tried to hide, but to no avail. Im going to make this op short as i want people to know this as quick as possible.

The notion that being royal means that you are a degenerate criminal is not all that different from racism in which your moral character is judged not by your individual behavior but by an accident of birth.

She may well have been involved in illegal activities and had a right to plead the fifth to protect herself. It doesn't mean that another party was guilty of illegal activities, although they may have been. I enjoy debating with you.
Why would you like to believe her claim?
Two lawyers representing a woman who claims to have had sex as a minor with prominent U.S. criminal defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz have filed a counter-defamation lawsuit against him.
In their lawsuit, Cassell and Edwards said Dershowitz defamed them when he accused them of 'deliberate misconduct and unethical behavior warranting disbarment' during several interviews with U.S. and international media outlets.
Cassell and Edwards said Dershowitz made defamatory statements in 'reckless disregard' in order to support his claim of innocence.
The ‘sex slave’ who claims she was forced to sleep with Prince Andrew was promised she would ‘be looked after’ if she kept quiet, bombshell court documents allege.
Virginia Roberts said she was contacted by lawyers acting for billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein just a week after she was interviewed by the FBI about allegations of sex abuse at his Florida mansion.
Epstein’s legal team ‘tracked her down’ to Australia, leaving her ‘terrified’, before apparently trying to secure her silence, according to a transcript of a telephone interview she had with lawyers in 2011.
Miss Roberts said she was warned any of the victims who did not comply would be smeared as ‘drug addicts and prostitutes’
‘Apparently there was an investigation being held about some of the girls who had come out and said that Jeffrey had sexual contact with them under the age of a minor and that he was discrediting lot of these girls and making them out to be drug addicts and prostitutes so they wouldn’t be looked upon as worthy in the court’s eyes.’
Miss Roberts claims she told Epstein she did not ‘want to be a part of it’ and would not speak out.
The comments were made in a telephone interview from April 2011 with lawyers acting for Epstein’s victims, who were gathering evidence after the billionaire’s legal team mounted a counter legal action.
A further document uncovered by the Mail shows how Miss Roberts was ‘terrified’ after being tracked down by the lawyers.
In a ‘complaint and demand for jury trial’ filed in May 2009, lawyers acting for Miss Roberts stated: ‘Suddenly, in 2008, [Miss Roberts] received numerous phone calls from the defendant’s agents. ‘Terrified by [Epstein’s] demonstrated ability to track her down on her cell phone number halfway across the world, [Miss Roberts] attempted to reassure [Epstein’s] agent that she would remain quiet. [Epstein] himself spoke on the phone and thanked her for not getting involved.’
In the document, Miss Roberts’s lawyers claimed she was abused by ‘royalty’, ‘politicians’ and ‘academicians’ who were friendly with Epstein.
At one stage, he even ordered a pilot to re-direct his private plane because he was concerned the FBI were looking for one of the girls on board.
He allegedly told his victims ‘bad things’ would happen to them if they spoke out.
The lawyers, meanwhile, were accused of carrying out a campaign of intimidation, using ‘aggressive witness tampering’.
A girl approached by Florida detectives investigating Epstein in October 2005 told them she had already been approached by a private investigator working for Epstein.
‘[The girl] provided no additional information as it appeared her responses were almost scripted,’ a police affidavit stated.

Now you're accusing the victim of hating him because hes wealthy? That contradicts your assertion that she was in it for that exact lifestyle of world travel.
Has it really reached the point where you want her to be lying so bad you'll accuse her of a history of lying and then not back it up with evidence? Yep.
The very BEST case scenario, is that Andrew got an erotic massage from an underage prostitute and supported a sex offender in his court case. And you're still defending that.

The question they pleaded the Fifth to wasnt about activities in the wider sense, it was about one specific activity, Andrew.
