A woman who claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew says she is "running out of hope" that he will be punished.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims she was trafficked by financier Jeffrey Epstein, alleges Prince Andrew had sex with her on three separate occasions - including when she was 17, still a minor under US law.

This morning she claimed she was "gifted" to the royal, and voiced her fury on Twitter.

She wrote: "All the evidence you could poke a stick out and yet the justice system defends a known predator who just happens to be a prince, anyone else would be thrown into jail.

"He knew I had no choice- he knew I was being trafficked- gifted to him. Nothings all right. Running out of hope."

Ms Giuffre, who was pictured with the Duke of York in London in London, has previously said she hopes Andrew is put “in a cell next to his best mate” Ghislaine Maxwell.

The former teen ‘sex slave’ of Jeffrey Epstein spoke out after the chief of the Metropolitan Police offered to assist US authorities with their investigation into the US paedophile.

Dame Cressida Dick said that while the focus of the FBI probe was “clearly” in America, she added the Met would assist US authorities should it be required “at any stage”.

The help could include looking at Andrew’s ties to his friends Epstein and Maxwell.

Prosecutors in the States claim they have been stonewalled by requests to interview Andrew, 60, with one prosecutor saying in January the Prince has provided “zero cooperation”.

The Duke’s legal team hit back saying they had repeatedly offered his assistance but had been ignored.

He categorically denies he had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Ms Giuffre.

The 58-year-old is accused of helping billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein by recruiting and eventually abusing three girls, from 1994 to 1997, and committing perjury by denying her involvement under oath.

Maxwell's deposition had been taken in April 2016 for a now-settled civil defamation lawsuit against her by Virginia Giuffre, who said Epstein kept her as a "sex slave" with her help.

The Queen cannot be prosecuted, and any subjects in her presence cannot be prosecuted unless she demands it. So why do you think she removed him from all his public royal duties and essentially 'grounded' him? Prince Andrew will not see a single second of jail time unless the Queen dies or she sells out her favorite son. And I'm not sure why she considers him her favorite son all things considered...

At least everyone recognizes he is a huge piece of shit.

Edit: Not saying that its good enough but I am saying that it helps when people almost universally recognize a problem.
