Janice Evans asked " Put it another way, if you are raped on first occasion..." Sex with a minor is classed as "statutory rape" whether consensual or not, and whether the minor in question was ever actually aware of this at the time. In law a minor is incapable of consenting to underage sex. Not that I happen to believe Andrew is guilty of anything even to the extent of having relations with Roberts/Guiffre regardless of what he assumed her age to be. Basically you'd need to be thicker than even your average Royal to pose for your photo either before after the event. Andy will have been buttonholed for photos by countless people down the years so the fact he didn't remember this particular photo or this particular individual hardly comes as any surprise. Despite claims to the contrary. Roberts/Guiffre is currently engaged in defending a countersuit brought by Alan Dershowitz the high profile lawyer and Harvard Professor who she's also accused. Then there's the Ghislaine Maxwell trial starting in November. Basically Andy while the most newsworthy, is way down the list. Presumably the strategy is based on the assumption that Roberts/Guiffre will crack up in the box under intense cross examination either during Dershowitz or Maxwell and Andy's case will fall by the wayside michael adams ... |
