Jeffrey Epstein’s most outstanding accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, bought the ultimate phrase in her longstanding, dramatic and traumatic saga in opposition to alleged infamous intercourse pest and disgraced royal Prince Andrew — who was compelled to surrender his titles on Friday.
In her memoir “No person’s Woman: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Combating for Justice,” the late survivor particulars her horrifying encounters with Andrew, who creepily kissed her toes earlier than allegedly abusing her when she was simply 16 years outdated.
“He was pleasant sufficient, however nonetheless entitled — as if he believed having intercourse with me was his birthright,” Giuffre wrote, in response to an excerpt printed this week by the Guardian.
As within the trend she grew to become well-known for, Giuffre refused to draw back from the uncomfortable and surprising particulars, which tormented her all through her life — and finally led to her suicide at 41 this previous spring.
The ebook, co-written by author-journalist Amy Wallace and accomplished earlier than Giuffre’s dying in April, promised to offer context to the tales she candidly instructed by interviews and lawsuits all through the final 16 years of her life — notably about her allegations of the elite and perverted males who socialized with late convicted pedophile Epstein.
Prince Andrew, 65, — who was compelled to give up his Duke of York title Friday — was one in a sequence of elite males Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, allegedly “loaned” her out to after plucking her from her Mar-a-Lago job in 2000 when she was simply 16.
She first met with the royal, then 41, throughout a visit to London in March 2001 — when Giuffre made it clear she had solely just lately turned 17 years outdated.
“My daughters are just a bit youthful than you,” Prince Andrew mentioned, in response to the ebook.
The comment prompted Maxwell to rapidly soar in so as to add, “I suppose we should commerce her in quickly.”
The previous Duke, Maxwell and Epstein took Giuffre to dinner and a nightclub, the place the royal requested the teenager to hitch him on the dance flooring.
“He was kind of a bumbling dancer, and I keep in mind he sweated profusely,” Giuffre wrote.
“On the way in which again, Maxwell instructed me, ‘After we get house, you might be to do for him what you do for Jeffrey,’” she continued.
“I drew him a scorching bathtub. We disrobed and bought within the tub, however didn’t keep there lengthy as a result of the prince was desperate to get to the mattress. He was notably attentive to my toes, caressing my toes and licking my arches. That was a primary for me, and it tickled,” Giuffre wrote.
“I used to be nervous he would need me to do the identical to him. However I needn’t have apprehensive. He appeared in a rush to have intercourse. Afterward, he mentioned thanks in his clipped British accent. In my reminiscence, the entire thing lasted lower than half an hour.”
Satirically, Prince Andrew’s six-year marriage to Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson fell aside after salacious pictures of her toes being sucked by her monetary advisor had been printed in 1992.
The morning after her first encounter with Andrew, Giuffre obtained compliments from Maxwell — who instructed her she “did nicely. The prince had enjoyable.” — and a $15,000 payout from Epstein, in response to the ebook.
Their second passed off just some months later in Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, Giuffre mentioned, selecting to go away out the small print — however not with out mentioning that she and one other sufferer, Johanna Sjoberg, had been compelled to face the reality that they “had been Maxwell and Epstein’s puppets, and so they had been pulling the strings,” in response to the excerpt.
Giuffre’s third and last encounter with Prince Andrew passed off on Epstein’s personal island within the US Virgin Islands, which the financier referred to as “Little Saint Jeff’s.” It was later known as “Pedophile Island” resulting from allegations that he sexually abused younger ladies there.
“I additionally know that it was not simply the 2 of us this time; it was an orgy,” Giuffre wrote, saying that she and “roughly eight different younger ladies” had intercourse with Epstein and the royal.
In sworn testimony in 2015, Giuffre famous she was “round 18” on the time. In her ebook, Giuffre admits she would possibly nonetheless have been a minor as a result of she is unsure of the date the traumatizing sexual encounter allegedly occurred.
The main points on Giuffre’s encounters with Prince Andrew flesh out the allegations she lodged in opposition to him lately, together with the infamous 2021 lawsuit claiming he had intercourse along with her when she was only a minor.
The royal denied the claims, and the 2 settled the lawsuit in 2022.
The survivor had continued to be outspoken in opposition to Maxwell and Epstein, usually questioning the stalled launch of further data associated to the FBI’s investigations of the pair.
“The place are these videotapes the FBI confiscated from Epstein’s homes? And why haven’t they led to the prosecution of any extra abusers?” Giuffre pens within the concluding pages of her ebook.
After a long time of torment, Giuffre took her personal life in her Western Australia house in April.
She was 41 — the identical age Prince Andrew was when he allegedly first started abusing her.
Prince Andrew has not been criminally charged in relation to Epstein and Maxwell’s intercourse trafficking instances.
