Comment[edit]

Virginia Roberts made allegations against Jeffrey Epstein as well as against Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Indeed her accusations against Epstein are more severe. We need an article about her, not just a redirect page. Proxima Centauri (talk) 08:24, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's hard currently to say how notable Virginia Roberts will become, one thing I am sure is that redirecting the page to Prince Andrew was not ideal. That was the position originally. I'm transferring all the material here to Jeffrey Epstein#Solicitation of prostitution as the worst alletgations are against him. That way the material will stay in the page history here, Virginia Roberts may or may not become more notable once court cases that are now pending have developed and I feel it should be easy to redevelop the article if that becomes appropriate.

The case for an article about Virginia Roberts is strengthening[edit]

Since I redirected the page to Jeffrey Epstein fresh allegations have surfaced against Epstein and Prince Andrew.

Allegations against Andrew

  1. Prince Andrew under renewed pressure to speak about 'sex abuse' claims after flight logs emerge
  2. Prince Andrew set for first public event since sex claim

Allegations against Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein offered to pay teen victim to have his child: court records

The case for a dedicated article on Virginia Roberts so readers can see all the allegations against different men in the same place is strengthening. I'm waiting for yet more allegations before rewriting the article as more than a redirect. Proxima Centauri (talk) 10:59, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it prevents the issue being spread over a few articles, including Two Jane Does v US. PatGallacher (talk) 22:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
