Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Us Norwegians call him Temu-Joffrey.
Joffrey ~~Baratheon~~Lannister-looking cunt.
FTFY
He looks like he should be raising funds to eradicate fetal alcohol syndrome.
It's nice to see relatives of very powerful people facing justice. 'murica could take a page from that book.
U.K. too, heard of the noncey rapist formerly known as Prince Andrew?
You mean the whole book
Could, but we won't.
We know
Will he be serving his sentence in an ordinary civilian prison like any citizen convicted of the same crime, or will they designate a palace as a prison and lock him in it?
He has spent the last few months locked up in a regular prison, and has even been denied serving from home to spend time with his dying mother, so no special treatment here.
It's Norway, from what I understand even the worst Norwegian prison is vastly nicer than studio apartments in the average American city. So I suppose it depends on what your definition of "ordinary prison" is.
In most European countries prisons provide good living conditions and are safe places because the goal is to reintroduce people into society as better persons after they served their time. Not brutalize them and make them outcasts that basically can only reoffemd if they want to survive.
Exactly. Complete opposite of the US where they run prison for profit.
And if anything American prisons make criminals into better criminals. It’s called con college for a reason.
That is why their recidivism rate is super low.
More accurate title: "Norwegian crown prince's stepson [...]"
Is this a typical sentence for the crimes he was found guilty of?
For a total of 40 charges seems iffy but Norways legal system uses concurrent sentencing.
The court determines a sentence based on the most severe crime (the rapes) and absorbs the lesser offenses (the drug and domestic abuse charges) into that timeframe, adding only a marginal amount of extra time.
- with a max of 20 across the board
Not knowing much about the legal system in Norway, I have to ask, will this person actually end up serving time?
He has been in prison since his arrest this winter, so yes he will serve it. He did get a 100 day rebate on the sentence for time already served, though.
The verdict has already been appealed by the defense, but with the stuff he has admitted to he will serve time. Maybe less after the appeal, but also maybe more :-)
This pleases me.
Justice for connected people here in the US is basically never guaranteed, as we're seeing now with Harvey Weinstein and recently with Bill Cosby.
You have to fuck with other connected people then it becomes a game of top trumps.
For example, I’m sure that Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t have been convicted had he only defrauded ordinary people.
You're not wrong. SBF's crime here was stealing from Epstein Class, same as Bernie Madoff.
the bill cosby situation was totally a fuck up on the prosecutor's part.
Adding to the other reply, it should also be noted that he has already been in custody for quite some time before and during the trial. A petition for release was also denied. All this to say that he is apparently not given special treatment!
And the last petition to be released or serve from home was to spend time with his dying mother, so absolutely no special treatment.
One can only hope.
What happened to the monarchs with Epstein links?
Unless more documents are released, there isn't really much more to go by. She made some poor judgements of what person she was dealing with, but it didn't seem like she was guilty to anything illegal. A lot of organizations which had her as a member of honor have recalled her membership. A lot of trust has been lost, and polls have shifted a bit towards abolishing the current monarchy.
But it's hardly a topic now. The crown princess is currently dealing with pulmonary fibrosis and requires a lung transplant. So the focus has shifted a lot recently.
At least Andrew of the royal family of the UK has been stripped of title. Still wealthy and not in prison last I heard though.
Why isn't the rest of the royal family investigated for aiding and abetting, though?
I would believe his mother would be investigated harder for this if she wasn't dying.
