However, as has been pointed out, Ms. Giuffre was 17 at the time, which was the age of consent in New York, the Virgin Islands, and London. That is not to say she wasn't victimized but there is reasonable question about whether even if what she says is true, she was sexually assaulted by Andrew.
The more this is being discussed and with some more background on Virginia's childhood and her father thinking it "was a good idea" for his daughter to "learn massaging" (what father would actually fall for that?), the more my opinion of this whole dog and pony show is that I'd not be surprised if, from the get go, Daddy saw Virginia as a "money maker" and encouraged her (there *are* fathers like this. I know of people that had fathers that saw their kids as money makers). From the get go too, Virginia was in opportunist mode and enjoyed all the perks and benefits of being an "Epstein girl" until the crap hit the fan. Opportunity knocks again and oh yah.... lawsuits are the way to go now. As been said many, many times before, Virginia was never "held hostage" and if Epstein said to "go please X", that's what she did. Willingly.
One thing that will *never* be proven as it's almost impossible to prove is whether or not Andrew ever had sex with her at any time. Andrew sweating at Tramps proves nothing. Andrew posing for a picture with Virginia just means they were in the same room together once upon a time. Unless Epstein actually *did* film the two of them doing the horizontal hokey pokey by CC TV,, it *is* he said/she said.
I seriously think this case is going to be dismissed.
