"Lack of action by DoJ and no arrests sends a worrying message about privilege in America when compared to the UK Yesterday, America woke up to the news that Andrew - the former prince - had been arrested in ­London over serious allegations made in the Epstein files. And you know what? It felt good."
"There has been much consternation in the UK about the fact that Andrew's "punishment" for alleged bad behaviour looked very much like being handed a fancy free house and a lavishly funded retirement in obscurity."
The United States Department of Justice has not pursued arrests related to Epstein-linked allegations, creating concern that powerful figures face less accountability in America. The arrest of Prince Andrew in London over serious Epstein-file allegations contrasted sharply with perceived lenient outcomes for elites. Public reaction included satisfaction at the arrest and criticism in the UK that previous treatment of Andrew resembled a privileged, comfortable retirement rather than meaningful consequences. The lack of comparable action in the US reinforces perceptions of systemic privilege and unequal application of justice for influential individuals.
