I would really love to see an unredacted copy of Andrew's testimony and reiterate that ten years ago the Prosecution found there was no case to answer.
...
I don’t think Andrew has ever been deposed or testified, or indeed been questioned by authorities regarding Epstein.
Not sure who you’re talking about w/ ‘no case to answer’?
If Epstein, then there was a case, indeed, 2 cases one state and one federal, the federal case was dismissed in exchange for a plea in the state case, part of that dismissal also protected Epstein’s unnamed potential co-conspirators - which is highly unusual.

If Andrew, as far as I’ve read he was never even investigated for committing a crime, thus nothing would have been referred to prosecutors, thus no prosecutorial finding one way or the other.
The current articles are simply summarizing the 2000 pages of sworn testimony at deposition of various witnesses & the documentary evidence in victim 1’s civil defamation lawsuit against Epstein’s GF - which was settled.
Just as when most of this surfaced a few years ago, Andrew’s name is among many others associated with Epstein, he can’t really deny they were friends, after all they vacationed together in Thailand and Andrew hosted him in the UK and Epstein hosted Andrew on his island and in NY. & Sarah admitted that she’d accepted money from Epstein. Andrew could have, I suppose, sued victim 1 for defamation a couple of years ago when the DM ran a story based on their interview with her, but she had photographic evidence that confirmed part of her version of events, so it would be his word v. her word, & he’d have the burden of proof, so it probably was not worth the risk of bad publicity if he lost the case.
