Beyond backwards, it is. Completely misleading too.

He is being urged to testify not doing the urging

Yeeeaah that's not gonna happen. Didn't he settle out of court? You'd have better luck getting Bill come here eyes Clinton to testify.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Amid growing calls for a police investigation into allegations of sexual assault against the royal, Spencer Kuvin, a Florida-based attorney, told the Observer that the Duke of York “needs to answer for what is now coming out” and should give his account with “all the trappings of the law” so that he is legally obliged to tell the truth.

They relate to a civil case brought in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre, who says she was used as a “sex slave” by Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Documents from the long-settled case include claims that Andrew would stay for weeks at a time at the Palm Beach mansion owned by Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for trafficking charges.

Juan Alessi, who worked as a housekeeper for Epstein from 1990 to 2002, also testified that Andrew would receive daily massages while staying with the financier, the court files show.

In her testimony, the British socialite claims she “never introduced” the pair.Kuvin, who said he currently represents four Epstein victims, said it was now time for the prince to give his account, under oath, in order to set the record straight.

The Metropolitan Police have been urged to investigate the resurfaced sexual assault claims against Andrew, with the anti-monarchy group Republic reporting him to the force last week.
