Can we please reference Jimmy Saville instead? Jimmy Saville is an entirely deplorable example of what it is that you're getting at and he got away with blatant and horrific acts until he died.
Conversely Prince Andrew is a crap example because what he is accused of (sex with a 17 year old in London in 2001) is actually entirely legal in the UK (age of consent is 16). So to hold him up as a prime example of a problem is just an Americanism.
