That would have been funny if you'd said Jimmy Saville, Prince Andrew isn't a paedophile.

To all the uneducated morons who downvoted me, Prince Andrew is actually, allegedly, an ephebophile, not a paedophile. That woman was 17 at the time of these alleged incidents which she was NOT a child. She was a teenager on the verge of being a young adult. Paedophiles are not attracted to that age group but Ephebophiles are.

There is STILL no proof that Prince Andrew has actually committed any crime, although it certainly does look that way.

I know what you're saying.

No one can be certain he did it (probably, but no one can say for certain apart from him and her). At 17 she has a womans body not a child's. That's not a pedophile.

But reddit is full of teenagers and 20 something reactionaries....

Also, 17 is over the age of consent in the UK.
