Who is Virginia Giuffre: the Girl in the THAT Photo

Who is Virginia Giuffre? Known worldwide as the girl in a photo with a royal, the mother-of-three wants to bring down the entire Epstein sex trafficking network.

And now she is coming for every single one of them.

• As we know, the duke denies the allegations he sexually assaulted Ms Roberts Giuffre on three occasions in 2001.
• He says it’s all lies, but what would happen if Prince Andrew came to New York for a hearing?
• It might not happen; the royal might try to settle instead. But let’s think of the court of public opinion here. That’s clearly what Virginia’s lawyers have in mind and she says she does not want to settle.
• Even so, would Prince Andrew ever be brave or foolhardy enough to go to America and risk potential arrest by the FBI or being led into a perjury trap being asked about his relationship with Maxwell and Epstein?

Who is Virginia Giuffre

This is the shocking true story of what happened when Ghislaine Maxwell recruited 16-year-old Virginia Roberts (as she was then known) into the Epstein trafficking network.

In her civil claim, she alleges Prince Andrew sexually abused her as a teenager on multiple occasions in London, Manhattan, and the US Virgin Islands in 2001 — allegations which he denies.

Ms Roberts was sexually abused by a family friend at the age of seven, which set off a pattern of more abuse, running away from home, foster care, and drug and alcohol abuse.

“I was just so mentally scarred already at such a young age, and I ran away from that,” she told the BBC’s Panorama in 2019. 

She told the program she was almost instantly groomed by Maxwell to join the global sex trafficking scheme.

“Through that time they were asking me questions about who I was,” she said.

She added: ”They seemed like nice people so I trusted them, and I told them I’d had a really hard time in my life up until then – I’d been a runaway, I’d been sexually abused, physically abused… That was the worst thing I could have told them because now they knew how vulnerable I was.”

Ms Giuffre has said Epstein “passed me around like a platter of fruit” among his powerful friends and business partners, as she was taken across the globe on his private plane.

In March 2001, then aged 17, Maxwell and Epstein brought her to the United Kingdom and introduced her to the then-40-year-old Prince Andrew.

“It was a really scary time in my life… I wasn’t chained to a sink, but these powerful people were my chains,” she told the BBC. 

Ms Giuffre says the prince sexually abused her three times – at Maxwell’s London home and later at Epstein’s homes in New York City and Little St James in the Virgin Islands.

She has also testified in 2021 in Paris against disgraced French model agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a friend of Epstein and Maxwell.

Ms Giuffre now lives in Australia with her husband, Robert, and their three children.

She has founded a non-profit organisation called Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), aimed at “educating and advocating for victims of trafficking”.

Finally, the woman who was a once scared 17 year old girl allegedly trafficked to a prince, has all the power.

Prince Andrew Woes

We update you on the latest in the Duke of York’s drama, which seems to have been created by the Prince and the Prince alone.

Moreover, the public wants answers from him but he has been hiding behind his mother. This case won’t just go away quietly, ever. He is only just now starting to realise this new reality.

Prince Andrew continues to be locked in a vicious battle over claims he assaulted Ms Roberts Giuffre three times when she was aged 17. 

The Epstein whistleblower alleges Maxwell and Epstein trafficked her to Prince Andrew. 

This latest move in the ongoing saga comes after Ghislaine Maxwell was recently convicted of federal charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking involving minors.

Ms Roberts Giuffre is seeking unspecified damages from Prince Andrew for alleged sexual assault. The Duke of York has strenuously denied all allegations made against him.

This case will further embarrass Buckingham Palace and Queen Elizabeth II when it goes to trial. 

This could be another blow to the monarchy, which is still reeling from the aftermath of Prince Andrew’s former friend Epstein’s suicide in jail in 2019.

The trial date has not yet been set, but it is expected to take place later this year.
