Young adults are easy to manipulate by predators, which is what I'd describe a middle aged man or woman targeting teenagers for sex.You might feel that a person of 18 is over the age of consent and therefore there is nothing wrong with them having sex with a rich, more powerful, person in their 50's, but I don't agree. Sure it's not illegal, but the power and experience of the older person means the younger one is at an immediate disadvantage and is vulnerable to exploitation, usually without realising it. There is a universe of difference between two 16 year olds having sex, and a 16 year old in a sexual relationship with a person decades older where they are at a major disadvantage in terms of age, experience and wealth, and lacking the options those things confer on the other person. Noting those things doesn't make someone a prude or anti-sex.

He was asked whether he had discussed Epstein, but said no, as it hadn't been in the news at the time. But given all the questions relating to whether the famous photo with him, the accuser, and Maxwell is fake or not, and given the fact that the photo has been in the public domain since 2011 I think, why would he say he thinks the photo might be fake, or doesn't recall being upstairs, when all he had to do was ask Maxwell earlier this year if she recalls the photo? (I know that if he had and she said yes, it wouldn't help him, but I am surprised the BBC interviewer didn't ask this specific question). 2) If in Pizza express, which was a rare thing to do as he says himself, surely there are loads of ex. pizza express staff that will recall the day Prince Andrew strolled in with his kids. And presumably a few photos as well. Where are they?

Prince Andrew has become embroiled in a war of words with US prosecutors investigating the disgraced financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Lawyers for the Duke of York issued a statement on Monday accusing the American investigators of misleading the public and breaching their own confidentiality rules in their handling of the inquiry. Blackfords, the London-based criminal law specialists, alleged in a strongly worded two-page statement that the US Department of Justice (DoJ) had effectively rejected three offers of help volunteered by the prince this year. The firm noted that the DoJ had “advised us that the duke is not and has never been a ‘target’ of their criminal investigations into Epstein” and that they had instead sought his confidential, voluntary cooperation.Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, responded by publicly accusing Andrew of trying to “falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to co-operate” and said a request to schedule an interview had been repeatedly declined.
Speaking this morning, Witchell told BBC Breakfast that Andrew's 'specialist' lawyers would be 'attempting to control the process' by 'limiting the scope' of the US investigation.'I think we may reasonably assume that the US attorney wants a face to face meeting with Andrew here in the UK, in which he could ask him face to face an unlimited array of questions,' he said. 'Well now, we only have to think back to the Newsnight interview to see what happens when Andrew faces unlimited, untrammelled questions. 'So I think it is reasonable to suppose that his specialist British lawyers are attempting to control the process. They may also be insisting - please send your questions in writing and we will respond.' Andrew resigned from 'public duties' in the wake of the Newsnight interview last November, in which he denied any wrongdoing but defended his friendship with Epstein as 'seriously beneficial'.
