 I suppose a valid comparison would be Lord Longford and his support for 
 Myra Hindley, which made him very unpopular. He believed she was capable 
 of repentance and redemption, prayed with her, regularly campaigned for 
 her to be released - and Andrew never went that far in his "support" of 
 Epstein. I should think Hindley committed herself to stopping her 
 behaviour, ie to stop kidnapping children from the streets to be abused 
 by her or her partner. Was there ever anything that she could have said 
 to get public support for her release from prison?
