Epstein / Prince Andrew / Maxwell

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Biggest winner out of this?

Kurt Zouma.

Offended Twitter has a new target.

There have been lots of versions of her story over the years and it appears that there is no original version of the photo of Andrew with his arm around her waist at Maxwells London house so maybe her legal team weren’t overly confident of winning the court case.

It’s the only logical reason I can see for her settling for a payment to her charity.

My understanding is he has to pay her and make a substantial donation to charity?

Regardless the optics are horrendous but my suspicion is that it was a grotesque sum of money, anything to prevent him having to provide evidence under oath.

Cannot blame the woman for settling.

No. It means he isn't tried so remains innocent. Some will say it is to pay off a victim and say he is guilty, some will say that it is to protect his image and stop any personal/sensitive details of his, his family and associates that may arise in a court case and they will say the case is unproven. It's a no-man's land.

A no man's land where most will not be giving him the benefit of the doubt.

95% of yank cases are settled before court , it is not a criminal case , she has forced him to settle therefore admitting he is in the wrong and he has had to give her probably several million to her charity , he knew he had no leg to stand on at a trial

but what does it say to the others wanting her to fight to the end for justice
this fight was not just for her but the many others that never get the media backing or have money to fight the system.

she has let them down and he walks any with a clean slate because of the gagging order place on her
its a very sad day for all them other ladies and kids that looked up to her in hope that there day will come

What I can't understand is that she seemed absolutely adamant she would take it to court and that no money offer in any settlement would stop her. I understand with negotiations that you go for a high ask first, whilst always secretly knowing what lower ask is acceptable (and not going below) but I can't understand why she didn't take it to court.
Was she warned by her advisers that her "grooming" of other girls was a really weak point in her case and that it might have been used by the defence?

she has sold out and its why the system is fucked ? many woman was hoping she would take it all the way and hoped to be a leading light in the fight. but sadly its now she is seen as a money grabber that does not care about anybody but herself ?

greedy and am not sorry for her ? she got what she always wanted out of this

I don't see it as simple as her selling out. I suspect that there was enormous establishment pressure placed on her to take the deal. There's a fair chance they have something on her that will now remain a secret as part of the settlement.

So the nonce gets away with it from a legal standpoint. However his reputation is shredded and he's lost all his royal privileges which he won't like.

It's shit but I'm not even remotely surprised.

Think that is a harsh assessment.

She would have been subjected to a vicious cross examination, there is credible evidence that she recruited other young girls into this network. That I think was her weak spot on this, Andrew would have been destroyed under cross examination but she would not have got out unscathed.

he is untouchable now and anybody questions him or this case will be liable
benefit of the doubt hahahah he does not give a shit. the system is still in tack and long live the queen

The later is not part of this civil case , it is about her being a victim .

95% settle and she has made him pay a fortune to her charity so she can help other women and girls

i can 100% say her charity is paying her a wage ? and she will also get a VERY BIG pay off with a gagging order
