3. Even if she came up to Andrew and pulled his pants down

If she was under 18 at the time, it is/was a crime. Rape.

Not sure what the limitations are for child rape in the US Virgin Islands... but before 2020 it would likely have been 4 years in Florida.

If there was credible evidence that she presented herself as being over 18 then you would need to prove the claim on "forced into it". Evidence such as a fake ID... that might have gotten "randy andy" out of legal trouble at the time. Right now I don't think he faces any legal issues since so much time has passed.

That said, King Charles should completely strip him of all titles and monies from the monarchy, not just some and not just because he lied about the last time he corresponded with Epstein.
