Connection Details

Virginia Giuffre, formerly Virginia Roberts, is one of the most prominent victims in the Jeffrey Epstein case, having publicly accused him of sexual abuse and trafficking. Giuffre alleges she was recruited by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 at the age of 16 while working at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. According to her testimony in court documents from the Giuffre v. Maxwell case, she was lured under the pretense of a massage job and subsequently abused by Epstein at his Palm Beach mansion. Giuffre claims she was trafficked to other locations, including Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, and his properties in New York and New Mexico, between 2000 and 2002. Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, the 'Lolita Express,' confirm her presence on multiple flights during this period, often alongside Epstein and Maxwell. Financial records and victim compensation claims indicate Giuffre received payments from Epstein, including a reported $10,000 for sexual encounters, as detailed in her deposition. Giuffre’s allegations are central to numerous court filings, with her name appearing over 1,000 times in the Epstein files, including the 2024-2025 DOJ document releases. She famously settled a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in 2022, alleging abuse facilitated by Epstein, though this settlement did not directly involve Epstein. Giuffre has shared direct quotes about Epstein, stating in a 2015 affidavit, 'Jeffrey Epstein ruined my life by turning me into a sex slave.' Epstein, before his death in 2019, denied her allegations through legal filings, calling them 'baseless.' Giuffre’s testimony also implicates shared associates like Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for trafficking related to Epstein’s crimes. News investigations by outlets like the Miami Herald have corroborated aspects of her timeline through interviews and records, solidifying her role as a key witness in exposing Epstein’s network.
