Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the victim of infamous US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, had intercourse with a second “prince” in France, according to newly released documents.
Epstein’s “sex slave” Giuffre claimed that she was compelled into having sexual encounters with Britain’s Prince Andrew and added she had sex with another prince, the New York Post reported, citing the 2016 deposition for a lawsuit.
“What other world leaders were you sexually trafficked to?” defence lawyer Mary Borja asked Giuffre in her Florida case against Epstein’s ex-lawyer Alan Dershowitz. “Prince Andrew for one,” Giuffre said, before adding that she was introduced to another person “as a prince.”
A final round of legal documents released Tuesday in a court case related to Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls was made up of testimony transcripts that were already largely public and dealt with allegations about misconduct by rich and influential men. The unsealed files included a 2016 deposition of Virginia Giuffre, a woman who said Epstein sexually abused her and arranged for her to have sexual encounters with men including Prince Andrew starting when she was 17.
It also included a transcript of testimony by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, who insisted that Giuffre was a liar. Giuffre, now 40, said she didn’t know the prince’s name and didn’t know from what country he came from but said “he did speak [a] foreign tongue,” as we as “he spoke English well.”
“They were present before the sexual activity and then I went to have sexual activity with him alone … on the instruction of Epstein and Ghislaine,” she testified. Giuffre also claimed she had twice seen former US President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s notorious Caribbean island, Little St. James. While Clinton has admitted he flew on Epstein’s plane, he’s maintained that he never visited the “pedophile island”.
Giuffre never accused the former US President of any wrongdoing but another Epstein accuser, Johana Sjoberg, testified during a 2016 deposition that Epstein once told her the former Clinton “likes them young.” However, there are no records of Bill Clinton having flown to the island and he maintains he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes.
The documents released last week have added a few details to what was already known about Epstein’s crimes. They did not contain the explosive revelations or new identities of abusers that some had predicted. Epstein was a millionaire money manager before he was arrested in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2006 and accused of paying underage girls for sex. He served 13 months in a jail work release program. In 2019, he killed himself in a federal jail cell while awaiting trial.
Dozens of women say Epstein sexually abused them at his homes in New York, Florida, the Virgin Islands and New Mexico. The documents released this month relate to a 2015 defamation lawsuit that Giuffre filed against Maxwell and was settled in 2017. Most of the court file has been public for years, but public interest in the documents soared after a judge ordered that some sealed sections be fully released.
