Virginia Giuffre instructed me she’d slept with Prince Andrew simply days after that journey to London with Jeffrey Epstein: Key witness at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial bravely waives her anonymity and makes a sensational new declare

Carolyn Andriano was resentfully cleansing her bed room, listening to music and squabbling along with her mom – being a typical 14-year-old, in truth – when the textual content got here by way of. It was from her pal Virginia, 1000’s of miles away in London.

‘You may by no means guess who I am with…’ it learn. Carolyn knew this was going to be a juicy little bit of gossip and was fast to reply. ‘Who?’ she replied eagerly.

A textual content pinged again instantly.

‘She stated, “I am in London with Jeffrey and Maxwell and Prince Andrew”,’ Carolyn remembers. ‘She stated they have been going to have dinner. I type of did not imagine her, however I had no cause to not. I assumed it was far-fetched however, then once more, she knew rich individuals and had been to fancy events and stuff like that.

‘I stated, “bulls**t”. I used to be calling her out on it, however she swore [it was true]. She stated she was going to see if she may get an image.’

After all, the ‘Jeffrey and Maxwell’ the textual content referred to have been disgraced financier and intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in jail in 2019, and his then girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of kid trafficking and intercourse abuse prices in New York final month.

Carolyn and Virginia – then Roberts, now Giuffre – have been members of the wicked couple’s harem of susceptible teenagers and younger girls, recruited by Maxwell to supply sexual favours for Epstein. Carolyn was a key prosecution witness at Maxwell’s trial.

Then, she gave proof solely as Carolyn. However she has now bravely waived her authorized proper to anonymity to talk completely to the Mail.

Carolyn has acquired no price for this text, saying: ‘I’m doing this as a result of I need all younger girls to know what occurred to me after I was a teen and the way it has affected my life. That is my story and I need to inform it.’

Again in 2001, for the 2 younger women, all of it felt like a harmful – and profitable – recreation. Every week after the textual content change, true to her phrase, 17-year-old Virginia got here again from the UK and picked up Carolyn from faculty, eager to inform all. ‘I stated, “so the place’s your image, Miss Princess?”‘ Carolyn stated. {A photograph} was duly produced.

The picture – Carolyn feels prefer it was on a cell phone, though digicam telephones weren’t universally accessible in 2001 and recollections fade, so it might need been a digital or disposable snap – is one most individuals will likely be accustomed to.

It reveals Virginia grinning, with Prince Andrew at her aspect, his hand round her waist, and Ghislaine wanting on proudly within the background.

Carolyn was duly impressed. However there was extra. Way more.

Carolyn was filled with questions: ‘I requested her if she’d been to the Palace. And he or she stated, “I acquired to sleep with him”. I stated, “What? You are f****** with me”, and he or she stated “no, I acquired to sleep with him”. She did not appear upset about it. She thought it was fairly cool.’

That is the primary time there was a contemporaneous and unbiased account of Virginia’s purported recollection of her assembly with the Duke of York that evening in March 2001, which he strenuously denies ever occurred. Andrew is at the moment ready to listen to whether or not a US decide will throw out Mrs Giuffre’s civil intercourse assault in opposition to him.

‘Virginia simply could not imagine it. Maxwell had instructed her she had a shock for her and I suppose the shock was Prince Andrew. She was excited. I suppose whenever you’re assembly any person that well-known, I’d have been excited too.

‘She stated that they had dinner they usually had intercourse. She did not say something about what they ate or the place they have been – that is not what we have been speaking about. It was simply that she could not imagine she acquired to sleep with Prince Andrew.

‘I saved saying, “are you severe?” And he or she stated “yeah”. I requested if she acquired paid to do it and he or she by no means gave me a solution.’

In the present day Carolyn is a life-worn, 35-year-old married mom of 5 kids aged between 5 and 17, nonetheless dwelling close to Palm Seashore, the place Epstein had a sprawling, £13 million mansion.

She has no difficulty with Andrew – she’s by no means met him – neither is she an enormous fan of Virginia. She hasn’t seen her former pal in years, and it most likely would not be a joyful reunion in the event that they did meet.

Carolyn holds Virginia answerable for delivering her into Epstein and Maxwell’s clutches within the first place. Giuffre has admitted that she actively recruited younger women for Epstein, one thing she says she bitterly regrets.

Plus, it needs to be famous, the jury in New York believed Carolyn’s testimony wholeheartedly. Maxwell was convicted unanimously on 5 of the six prices in opposition to her. 4 of the responsible verdicts have been underpinned by allegations made by Carolyn. Essentially the most severe of them, of kid intercourse trafficking a minor, utilized to Carolyn alone, and carries a most 40-year jail time period.

A juror this week broke cowl to disclose how members had been break up initially as they deliberated over a number of the prices, however none of them ever doubted Carolyn.

In the present day, Carolyn appears older than her 35 years. The clear brown eyes of the 16-year-old Carolyn – the age when she was a daily customer to Epstein’s Palm Seashore mansion – are the identical, however smiles are a uncommon commodity these days.

A hanging, 5ft 9ins, larger-than-life character, with a mane of dyed crimson curls, and a penchant for chunky jewelry, you sense the ‘powerful cookie’ exterior is a defend she’s worn for a really very long time.

There’s a temporary thaw when she hears how the jury trusted her each phrase: ‘I am glad they believed me, and that it was incorrect what Maxwell did to me. I had a voice and it was heard.

‘It is so essential as a result of I’ve my very own daughters now. Every single day I take into consideration whether or not there’s somebody who’s going to place them within the state of affairs I used to be in. I dwell with worry for my women.’

It is honest to say Carolyn has had a tough life. Her struggling did not finish when she discovered herself – aged 18 and a single mom – not to Epstein’s tastes, and duly redundant.

Within the intervening years, she’s labored as a stripper and escort, spent 52 days in jail for fraud, been hooked on medication and drink, and suffered psychological well being points. She takes a cocktail of remedy simply to get by way of the day.

‘I used to be within the intercourse business. It was simple. That was what I used to be taught, and I figured it was the best option to get cash for the medication. I felt nugatory. I felt like I used to be simply put right here on Earth for use and abused sexually. I checked out myself within the mirror one time and simply cried and cried,’ she says.

‘There is not any amount of cash on this world that can ever mend what was stolen – my innocence as a toddler by Maxwell and Epstein who had been in cahoots for God is aware of what number of years. I’ve kids and I do know as a mom, and as a lady, there isn’t any means in Hell I may ever do one thing alongside the traces of what Maxwell has accomplished.’

Curiously, nevertheless, with regards to what allegedly occurred between Virginia and Prince Andrew, she has little sympathy for her former pal. ‘I do not assume she [Virginia] deserves any compensation. I do not assume she was coerced into doing something.’

Though she believed her pal’s account on the time, Carolyn provides: ‘I do not assume Virginia deserves something lower than what Maxwell is getting as a result of she trafficked me right into a world of spiralling downward slopes and it has taken my husband John 12 lengthy years to get me to like myself once more.’

A susceptible baby with a troubled previous and chaotic homelife, Carolyn was simply 13 when she met Virginia Roberts. She’d dropped out of college and moved to Florida from New York.

Her mom was an alcoholic and a drug addict, and he or she’d been abused by her grandmother’s accomplice when she was 4.

With a mom who just about ‘let her do what she needed’, Carolyn began courting a 17-year-old referred to as Shawn – who was mates with Virginia’s boyfriend, Tony – when she was 13.

She remembers Virginia as ‘bubbly and pleasant’. ‘She had a means of creating me really feel snug and I trusted her. We grew to become mates and straight away I assumed she would have my finest pursuits, it doesn’t matter what, at coronary heart. She knew how previous I used to be, and he or she knew I got here from a damaged dwelling.’

Virginia would decide Carolyn up from faculty and the 4 of them used to ‘hang around and smoke pot’. ‘I felt fairly damned good about it as a result of all people else needed to stroll dwelling or their mum or dad got here to choose them up. However I had a reasonably pal, who was older, with a automotive. I assumed I used to be fairly cool for being her pal.’

Carolyn described to the court docket how Virginia had requested her if she’d wish to ‘go and make some cash’. All she needed to do was go to a pal’s home in Palm Seashore and provides him a therapeutic massage. The ‘pal’ was Jeffrey Epstein, and his home was the beachside mansion, the place women have been usually enticed to are likely to his insatiable wants.

‘At 14 years previous, I used to be large breasted and I positively may move for 21 after I was made up. I did my very own make-up however Virginia gave me garments. She gave me these actually tight skimpy shorts with a spaghetti strap prime with all my cleavage hanging out.

‘She simply stated no matter you do, do not say your age. And I did not even ask why. I went together with it.’

On that first go to to Epstein’s villa in 2001, Carolyn met Maxwell, who instructed Virginia to ‘deliver her upstairs and present her what to do’. They went to Epstein’s lavatory, the place Virginia arrange a therapeutic massage desk.

‘Epstein got here in. He stated he simply got here again from a jog. He brushed his tooth, gave Virginia a kiss on the cheek, checked out me, launched himself, he took off his shorts and his shirt and was nude and laid on prime of the therapeutic massage desk face down.

‘And I checked out Virginia and he or she eye-motioned to me to say ‘don’t be concerned, it is going to be OK’. Forty-five minutes into the therapeutic massage, he flipped over. I stepped again and Virginia climbed on prime of him and proceeded to have intercourse with him.

‘I did not know what to do or say or the place to go, so I sat on the sofa and watched till it was completed. We walked again downstairs and Maxwell requested, “how did the whole lot go?” Virginia gave her a glance to say it was a fantastic session and that is when Maxwell requested me for my phone quantity.’

Three $100 payments have been handed over as fee for her time.

Carolyn returned to the home about ‘100 occasions’ over the subsequent 4 years, generally three or 4 occasions every week. Money could be laid on the sink within the lavatory. She saved coming again as a result of ‘$300 was some huge cash whenever you’re 14’.

The ‘massages’ all the time adopted the identical routine: numerous women – some she knew, some she did not, all of them younger – rubbing Epstein’s again and buttocks earlier than he flipped over.

Though she and Epstein by no means had full intercourse, she was sexually assaulted a number of occasions.

One time, Maxwell supplied to take Carolyn to Epstein’s non-public island within the Caribbean. ‘I instructed her there was no means in Hell my mum was going to let me depart the nation. I instructed her I used to be 14.’

Someday in 2002, Virginia merely disappeared: ‘Vanished – poof – her boyfriend Tony was actually upset.’

Epstein instructed Carolyn she’d gone overseas for college, however she was suspicious and fearful one thing had occurred to her pal.

It later transpired Epstein had paid for her to attend a world therapeutic massage coaching faculty in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was right here that Virginia met Robert Giuffre, an Australian martial arts coach, and the 2 rapidly married. She contacted Epstein to say she would not be coming again.

The next yr, Carolyn made a break for it, too. Aged 16, she and her boyfriend ‘ran away’ to Georgia, the place Carolyn acquired pregnant. Her son was born in March 2004.

With cash tight, she tried to choose up the threads of her previous job with Epstein: ‘He requested me if I had any youthful mates and I stated “no”. And that is after I realised I used to be too previous. I used to be 18.’ 

In 2007, because the FBI began gathering proof in opposition to Epstein, Carolyn gave her first assertion to prosecutors. Final month, it was her flip within the witness stand.

‘I had rosary beads in my palms for your complete time and my husband was within the courtroom and each time I felt like I used to be getting weak, he would give me a bit thumbs up or I might clench the beads. I used to be decided to have the energy to have this lady put away for what she did to me and different younger girls.

‘Certain, they accused me of mendacity, however I knew that was coming and I stood as much as it as a result of I used to be telling the God’s trustworthy reality.’

She was permitted to make use of solely her first title all through the trial, however now she’s proud to disclose her full identification to the world.

‘I am not ashamed at being a sufferer of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. For different women which have been victimised, I need them to know that it’s OK to return out and inform any person – even in case you do not need to be recognized – and the earlier the higher.

‘I need individuals to know these horrible issues have occurred to me and that I’m a survivor.

I need to let the opposite victims know, there isn’t any timeframe on when you may speak about it, to get assist. I am very completely happy being a spouse and a mom and I need to present individuals how the tragedies in my life didn’t cease me. I am overcoming them. I am not going to let Maxwell and Epstein smash my life any extra. I am grateful each day after I get up.’

As for Prince Andrew, she senses his story is way from over.

‘I by no means acquired to ask Virginia about Prince Andrew once more after she instructed me about it. She’d instructed me by no means to repeat it once more.’

As for Virginia, her lawyer David Boies harassed that it was essential to keep in mind that she too was a sufferer of trafficking, regardless of the whole lot she did to deliver Carolyn into the fold.

Talking to the Mail, he stated: ‘Virginia has stated for years that her position in facilitating different younger girls’s involvement is one thing that she has all the time regretted. However that truth does not have something to do with the reality of her allegations.

‘No person is saying these younger, susceptible women have been excellent in each respect. They have been vulnerable to the type of threats they have been subjected to and it is in no way shocking they did issues they later remorse.’

How, and if, the Queen’s second eldest son offers along with his personal, private, tragedy unfolding in his non-public life stays to be seen.

Representatives for Andrew final evening declined to touch upon Carolyn’s revelations.
