I don't know what happened but having sex with someone who is trafficked is illegal.

The trial was not a legal issue but a civil action

I know that obviously.

You said technically he hadn't committed an offence, although I don't know how you can possibly know. I think you were basing that on her not being under the age of consent in this country. However I was just saying sex with a trafficked person is illegal in this country.

Im merely quoting the legal position regarding the CPS

 

[dutchman]

Don't get me wrong, i think he may well be involved (though don't forget that consensual sex with a 17 year old is not illegal in this country)

Actually in some cases it is. 18 is the age of consent in the UK where the older person is in a 'position of trust', eg: a teacher, social worker, relative, etc.

What?

Strong “ackshually it’s hebephile not pedophile” energy in this thread. Stay classy guys.

In summary...

A man gives c.8 million quid to a woman he claims to never have met.

Hmmm.

Maybe he can send me some too. I've never met him either.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

The other thing that sticks in the throat is if he was guilty of a criminal offence then he should be punished. £12m allegedly wow!

"Relative"

"Relative"

Right, that's it! I am off to see if I can eek some money out of my Uncle Joe.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

He's done nothing wrong .
He's giving twelve million to a woman he's never wronged and in fact has never met in his life . He knows however, that she's suffered in her past so is generously giving her money to her to try and help her to rebuild her life.
I'd say he was an incredibly kind and generous soul and the world would be a much better place if everyone had just a fraction of this man's unselfishness.

Also he’s wallet has took such a hit now when he fancies an Hawaiian he’s going to have to get down to Pizza Hut rather than Pizza Express

As he doesn’t sweat he won’t be wasting his hard earned money on deodorant

He should work as a towel collector at a sauna.

I wonder what it was that suddenly made him feel so generous after helping her rack up legal fees by denying the claim

Absolutely. The man is a philanthropist in every sense of the word.
Who on earth can afford Pizza Express anyway?

Just remember on that photograph it's not his hand. They've never met.

Did she get a payout the first time round? What happened originally when it was buried years ago?

 

[fernandopartridge]

well if a 15 year old schoolboy was happy to engage in sexual relations with a 39 year old woman would this Be acceptable especially if the woman was in authority

No it isn't as he does not have the legal capacity to consent

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Why are we getting sidetracked by the age of consent? She was above the age of consent in this country apparently. The issue was that it is alleged that she had been trafficked for sex.

Wasn’t one of the alleged offences in America?

Jesus Christ. No, sexually abusing children is never acceptable. WTF?

Probably me asking about when something is morally wrong but not criminally and vice versa. For interest really for peoples opinions

 

[Nick]

I think people do view it differently if it's a boy or a girl, I admit I have and probably still do.

 

[David O'Day]

lads it's been mentioned many times already but having sex with a traffic person is a crime in this country

 

[Sick Boy]

Two of the alleged offences took places in the USA What are the accusations against Prince Andrew?

Fair enough but it is criminal even if not underage

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Fair enough but it is criminal even if not underage

Absolutely agree

Another 'suicide' relating to this case

Ghislaine Maxwell sentenced to 20 years over sex trafficking

Ghislaine Maxwell told victims she had helped Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse she was sorry for their pain.

www.bbc.co.uk

20 years…. Well deserved.

Slightly disappointed she didn’t take any other “names” with her in an attempt to get some time off.

Maybe a few years in a women's prison will jog her memory?
