Allegations of encounters with foreign royalty and Bill Clinton’s presence
During her deposition for her Florida case against Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz, defense lawyer Mary Borja questioned Giuffre about the world leaders she was sexually trafficked to.”Prince Andrew for one,” Giuffre responded, further revealing that she was introduced to another individual as a prince.
Now 40, Giuffre recounted her experiences as a teenager, claiming she was recruited and trafficked by Epstein to his associates. She mentioned an encounter with a prince whose name and country of origin she did not know. However, she noted that “he did speak [a] foreign tongue,” as well as speaking English well.
Giuffre described meeting this unnamed royal at a “big party” in the South of France in 2001 when she was just 17 years old. She testified that both Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell were aware that she was being sex-trafficked to the prince. “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 said.
She also claims to have seen former President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s island on two occasions, despite Clinton’s firm denial of ever visiting the island. During one visit, Giuffre recounts having dinner with Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein, and young women who resembled sisters. While she did not allege sexual misconduct by Clinton, she suggested he was aware of Epstein’s abuse of minors.
Other high-profile guests and incidents
The deposition also brings to light other guests on Epstein’s island, including Al Gore and his wife. According to Giuffre, the Gores kept to themselves during a group dinner. Additionally, Giuffre describes being on Epstein’s plane with Alan Dershowitz and another girl, where they were allegedly forced into sexual acts.
Prince Andrew and financial transactions
One of the more explosive claims by Giuffre includes an alleged payment of $15,000 from Epstein for having sex with Prince Andrew in 2001, a claim Prince Andrew has consistently denied. Giuffre also accuses Gwendolyn Beck of participating in ‘orgies’ with Epstein and flirting with Prince Andrew.
Links to Victoria’s Secret mogul and other allegations
Giuffre claims she was trafficked multiple times to Victoria’s Secret mogul Les Wexner. The deposition also reveals calls from Wexner’s wife to Epstein about private matters. Furthermore, Giuffre mentions Heidi Klum in connection with Epstein, though without specific details of her involvement.
Epstein’s evasive deposition
In his deposition, Epstein consistently invoked the Fifth Amendment, refusing to answer questions to avoid self-incrimination. Giuffre expressed fear for her safety, which led her to withhold the names of some men she claims she was trafficked to.
This latest unsealing of documents adds a new dimension to the Epstein case, implicating several high-profile figures and revealing the complex web of relationships and events surrounding the late financier’s criminal activities.
