Source: Bradenton (Fla.) Herald

LONDON — Royal officials on Friday denied that Britain’s Prince Andrew engaged in any “impropriety with underage minors” after he was named in U.S. court documents related to a lengthy lawsuit against American financier Jeffrey Epstein.

In papers filed to a Florida court, an unidentified woman alleged that Epstein forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein when she was under the age of 18. The filing said the alleged encounters took place around 1999 to 2002.

make Prince Andrew guilty? It doesn't work that way. It's a non sequitur logical fallacy to blame a family name because of crimes by others in the past that have nothing to do with the present.

If he's guilty he should be punished. That's how it works in a civilized society. I have no argument that there were terrible injustices in the past, but placing blame on the present for past crimes is an exercise in futility. Injustice for injustice has never equaled justice.
