Lawyer Tells Us Royal Family Can’t Help Andrew If Epstein List Leads To Criminal Charges

A prince and a duke, Andrew’s relationship to the British Royal Family won’t help him in or out of a court of law. Given the new information revealed about Prince Andrew in the recently unsealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case, the royal may find the next few weeks difficult. Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, explained, “Being named on the list presents some problems for Andrew. It will draw more attention to the shameful allegations against Andrew and further embarrass the Royal Family.” Prior to settling the civil suit Virginia Guiffre filed against the duke, Queen Elizabeth II stripped Andrew of his royal duties, citing he would be defending himself as a “private citizen,” to distance the scandal from the Royal Family.

In an exclusive interview with The List, Rahmani also indicated there is a small possibility of Andrew being brought up on criminal charges of sexual abuse. If that happens, the duke will find himself on his own once again. “In the unlikely event Andrew is prosecuted, there is little the Royal Family can do to help, aside from paying for his legal fees. Diplomatic immunity won’t apply because sex with minors is outside the scope of one’s official duties.”

Since the recently unsealed documents also associate Andrew with at least one other underage victim, there may also be other legal consequences looming. “Any other victims Andrew allegedly abused may be motivated to come forward and sue him,” warned Rahmani.
