Royal Family Biographer Defends Prince Andrew: ‘Soliciting Sex From Minors is Not Pedophilia’

in #news5 years ago

Biographer for the Royal Family, Lady Colin Campbell, recently appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain where she defended Prince Andrew against claims of pedophilia.

In her defense of the disgraced prince, Campbell pointed to the “prostitution” charge that Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of in 2008, and attempted to downplay the fact that the girls were underage by suggesting that he was simply hiring sex workers.

“You all seem to have forgotten that Jeffrey Epstein, the offense for which he was charged and for which he was imprisoned, was for soliciting prostitution from minors. That is not the same thing as pedophilia,” Campbell told a shocked panel Monday morning.

Host Piers Morgan immediately challenged her claims, saying:

“If you solicited a 14-year-old for prostitution, you’re a pedophile.

You’re procuring an underage girl for sex. That’s what he was convicted of. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, with respect, that is nonsense.”

Campbell then immediately attempted to backpedal, claiming that a distinction must be made between a minor and a child.

“Was he? 14? Well, I’m not justifying Jeffrey Epstein. Pedophilia, I suspect there’s a difference between a minor and a child,” she said.

“A 14-year-old is a child. Legally, she’s a child,” Morgan replied.

Campbell then admitted that the prince may have “made many mistakes,” but insisted that his only mistake was being too clueless to realize that one of his closest friends was a predator.

“You can’t criticize someone because they aren’t as bright as you would like them to be,” she said.

The controversy surrounding Prince Andrew has grown since his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. In the interview, the prince gave a variety of bizarre excuses and defenses for the accusations against him, including a claim that he could not sweat due to a rare physical condition.

He also denied knowing about the trafficking victim, Virginia Giuffre—formerly known as Virginia Roberts—despite appearing in photos with her when she was under the age of 18. However, he has previously suggested that these photos are “doctored.” Photographic evidence has been uncovered showing that the prince does, in fact, sweat. He also claimed that even though he did not remember meeting the victim on the night that she said, he does vividly remember his alibi, saying he went to a Pizza Express in Woking before returning home that night.

“Going to Pizza Express in Woking is an unusual thing for me to do, a very unusual thing for me to do. I’ve never been… I’ve only been to Woking a couple of times and I remember it weirdly distinctly,” he said.

The interview was so disastrous for the Royal Family that one of Prince Andrew’s PR advisors quit in response to the broadcast.

Sort:  

The globalist elite really thinks they are above the law... and since they own the whole legal system they are above the law most of the time!

Prince Andrew is a good dude really, it's totally racist to call him a moron :)

It is so entertaining that these "royal" families have to maintain a whole team of advisers and PR people. All to just keep the show and deification (divine right of rulers) show of pomp going. So ridiculous.
The point is not if it was a child or not. The point is that an individual 14 years or younger must have somehow been coerced into a sexual act. No one at that age chooses prostitution as a way of life. Either they or their parent was being paid to be involved.

whatever lie they need to tell themselves...🤮🤮🤮

Feeling sexual attraction to a seventeen-year-old is not pedophilia. It is ephebophilia (interest in mid to late adolescents, aged 15 to 19). Interest in pubescent children aged 11 to 14 is called hebephilia. Pedophiles are into kids between 0 and 10 years of age.

The age of consent is what matters here legally. In some countries it is 16 and in others it may be 14. Soliciting underage prostitutes is always a crime.

Lady Colin Campbell lost her freakin' mind!
Throw them all in jail...

hang her on the london bridge until the birds have left the bones... and hair (do birds eat the scalps?)
