The Law, Penalties and Defences for Sexual Intercourse Without
Consent
For the past few years, Prince Andrew has been embroiled in
allegations that he was a participant in a child sex trafficking
network headed by the late American businessman Jeffrey
Epstein.
US prosecutors have been pursuing the Prince for some time,
seeking his co-operation as they aim to secure justice for the
teenage girls who were procured by Mr Epstein.
Broadly, there are two investigations taking place - firstly, a
criminal investigation by the FBI, and secondly, civil proceedings
brought by lawyers who are seeking compensation against Mr
Epstein's estate; which is reported to be worth hundreds of
millions of dollars.
