I'm not saying she wasn't abused, but since I tend to question everything I wonder why didn't she go for a criminal case. Why even allow the hint of speculation about financial motivation by seeking money (enough wealth to make you set for life)? Stick with a book deal instead and live off the residuals. But once you say you'll accept money to stop prosecuting, it never looks good.
"The bulk of her wealth came from a landmark settlement with Prince Andrew in 2022, rumored to be around $16 million, though the exact figure was never publicly confirmed."

How is that justice? He admitted no wrong doing, but you got money to be quiet. I get it, we're all human, and some are more easily swayed by money, but not a good look.
There's also question of jurisdiction.
If this took place on private island, who has jurisdiction to prosecute?
Yes, if you're trying to prove what you also need to prove "where".
It's one of the US Virgin Islands, there is no jurisdictional doubt.
AlthoughI think the US and UK have sepcific laws about sex tourism with children to prosecute people going to Thailand etc. in their home country.
But she was 16, so legally consenting without coercion in many US states and the UK.
I imagine no actual cash changed hands for the actual sex like a regualr prostitute. Epstein turns up with what seem to be willing girls, you don't force anyone or pay directly. And if they are of legal age, where's the crime?
Face the wall
Don't shoot!! I meant legal crime, not moral, in the context of OP's question.
