Virginia Giuffre: What we know about Prince Andrew's accuser - BBC News

American Virginia Giuffre says she was the victim of sex trafficking and abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates when she was a teenager.

Ms Giuffre was born as Virginia Roberts in 1983 in the US state of California.

Ms Giuffre was working as a locker room attendant at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, and says Maxwell offered her an interview for the chance to train as a massage therapist.

When Ms Giuffre arrived at Epstein's home in Palm Beach, she says he was lying down naked and she was instructed by Maxwell on how to massage him.

Ms Giuffre said what she had expected to be a job interview soon turned into the beginning of years of abuse.

Ms Giuffre says she went from being abused by Epstein to being "passed around like a platter of fruit" among his powerful associates, as she was taken around the world on private jets.

In 2001, then aged 17, she says Epstein brought her to London and introduced her to Prince Andrew.

A now famous photograph that she says was taken on that night shows the prince with his arm around Ms Giuffre, as Maxwell smiles in the background.

After going to a nightclub, Ms Giuffre says she was told by Maxwell that she "had to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey".

In her civil case, Ms Giuffre alleges that the prince sexually abused her three times - at Maxwell's London home that night, and later at Epstein's homes in Manhattan and Little St James in the Virgin Islands.

Ms Giuffre told the Miami Herald that by 2003 Epstein had lost interest in her because she was too old for him.

Following the ruling against Maxwell last month, Ms Giuffre told New York Magazine "it's definitely not over".
