In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre has described how she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago aged 16, trafficked to powerful men, and abused by Prince Andrew. She claims the Duke of York believed having sex with her was his 'birthright'.
Giuffre recounts working at the Florida resort, where her father introduced her to Donald Trump. She later babysat for guests before Maxwell approached her outside the spa, offering a job as a masseuse for a wealthy member. She alleges Maxwell trafficked her to Jeffrey Epstein and others, including Prince Andrew.
Giuffre states that Prince Andrew abused her at Maxwell's London home and on Epstein's private island. She says he showed no remorse, acting as if he was entitled to her body. The allegations were previously settled in a civil lawsuit, but Andrew has denied them.
The memoir, published posthumously, details Giuffre's journey from victim to advocate. She died in 2024 at age 41. The book aims to expose the network that enabled her abuse and to seek justice for survivors.
