The conviction of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking is a further blow for her embattled royal former friend Prince Andrew, British media said Thursday.
The Duke of York, the second son of Elizabeth II and ninth in line to the throne, has long-standing ties to Maxwell, who has been found guilty of recruiting and grooming young girls to be sexually abused by the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein.
She claims she was lent out by Epstein to his powerful associates and forced to have sex with Andrew three times — the first time at Maxwell’s London home. – How the verdict affects Andrew -Maxwell’s conviction by a New York court does not affect Andrew’s legal status but further damages his reputation, British commentators said.
The photo apparently showing the three together “could now be described as the sex trafficker, the sex slave and the duke,” said Dymond.
