Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, has a well-documented connection to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, stemming from her allegations of sexual abuse facilitated by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre claims she was trafficked to Prince Andrew on multiple occasions between 2001 and 2002 when she was a minor. Their first alleged encounter occurred in March 2001 at Maxwell’s London townhouse, where a widely publicized photograph was taken showing Prince Andrew with his arm around Giuffre, with Maxwell in the background. Giuffre alleges she was coerced into sexual activity with Prince Andrew during this meeting and on two other occasions: once at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and once at his private island, Little St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These claims are detailed in court documents from Giuffre v. Maxwell and her 2021 civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew. Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, the 'Lolita Express,' place Giuffre on flights during this period, though no specific log directly ties Prince Andrew to her on the same flight. In February 2022, Prince Andrew settled Giuffre’s lawsuit for an undisclosed amount, reportedly in the range of $16 million, without admitting liability. Giuffre has stated in depositions, 'I was lured away from a path of normalcy by predators like Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who introduced me to people like Prince Andrew.' Prince Andrew has denied all allegations, claiming in a 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, 'I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.' Victim testimonies in the Epstein files, including Giuffre’s, mention Prince Andrew as one of the high-profile individuals she was forced to engage with. News investigations by outlets like the Miami Herald and The Guardian have corroborated timelines and locations through interviews and records. Their connection is primarily social and transactional, rooted in Epstein’s network of influence, with no shared lawyers or direct financial ties beyond the settlement.

Victim and Accuser
Named Maxwell as her primary recruiter and abuser. Maxwell was convicted based partly on Giuffre's testimony.
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.
