Prince Andrew proves no man can act with impunity

Kara Alaimo writes that the fact that Prince Andrew has apparently been made to pay reparations for his alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking scheme, is an important outcome, not just for Giuffre, but for all women.
In the lawsuit, she had claimed Prince Andrew was aware that she was underage when he sexually abused her multiple times. The prince "denies that he was a co-conspirator of Epstein or that Epstein trafficked girls to him," according to a filing by his attorneys, but had faced the charges as a private citizen in New York after Buckingham Palace announced that he had been stripped of his military titles.

Andrew Cuomo will not drop out of the New York City mayoral race by the Friday deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot, CNN has learned. That leaves in place contingency plans he had established before the Democratic primary to challenge Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in November.
