Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz Named in Suit Alleging Sex With Minor

Oh boy. NYT is even covering this:
A court filing in a civil case in Florida last week included new allegations against Jeffrey E. Epstein, a businessman who pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution, and two other high-profile men: a member of the British Royal family and an American lawyer.

The motion filed in United States District Court in the Southern District of Florida alleges that Mr. Epstein forced a teenage girl to have sexual relations with several men, including Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth’s second son, and Alan M. Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. Both men have denied the allegations...

Buckingham Palace took the unusual step of issuing a statement to rebut the accusations.

“This relates to longstanding and ongoing civil proceedings in the United States, to which The Duke of York is not a party,” a palace spokesman said in a statement, using the prince’s title. “As such we would not comment on the detail. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.”...

On Saturday, Mr. Dershowitz said he “categorically and unequivocally” denied all of the allegations. He said he would file disbarment proceedings against the lawyers who filed the motion, Bradley J. Edwards, a lawyer in Florida, and Paul G. Cassell, a former federal judge and a law professor at the University of Utah.

“They are lying deliberately, and I will not stop until they’re disbarred,” Mr. Dershowitz said in a phone interview.

  2. I hope her lawyers subpoenaed the NSA records and had already viewed the Jeffrey Epstein's home videos. Where's Anonymous when you need them?

  3. As a royal (ass), doesn't duke Andrew has sovereign immunity or something? If he got immunity from prosecution, then is he guilty as charged?

  4. The pervasive sexual abuse and trafficking of kids is humanity's big dark secret. Someone needs to make a Goonies-like movie about a group of intrepid kids escaping the clutches of politically connected sex-slavery. Call it Milk Carton Kids. Get Nicholas Cage to play a charismatic but frantic and bumbling defrocked priest turned kidnapper.
