She raised her voice to highlight the Jeffrey Epstein system. Virginia Roberts, 36, is one of the main complainants in the affair that has shaken several public figures since July. Among them is the American lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew. If the case shakes Buckingham Palace, the alleged “sex slave” of Jeffrey Epstein already claimed in 2015 to have had forced sex with the Duke of York when she was a minor. Charges that the main party formally denies as a whole.

To understand the story, you have to go back to 1999. Virginia Roberts was 15 years old at the time and worked in the locker room of the very select club of Donald Trump in Palm Beach (Florida): Mar-A-Lago. It was there that she met Ghislaine Maxwell, heiress of press magnate Robert Maxwell. The Briton, with a boyish and athletic cut, offers him to massage a “friend” with a substantial financial compensation. Candid, the teenager readily accepts. The beginning of hell. Accompanied by the “tout”, Virginia declares to discover a man lying, naked, on his stomach: Jeffrey Epstein. Finally, the massage session degenerates and Virginia Roberts undergoes her first rape. She later became the “sex slave” of the influential New Yorker and some of his acquaintances for three years, until 2002.

I did not know at the time that I was going to be trafficked for the benefit of this prince. ” Before continuing: “That night, Prince Andrew arrived at her home in London, and we went out to Club Tramp. Andrew gave me alcohol, it was in the VIP area, and he said “Let’s dance together!”, I replied “OK”. Then we leave the nightclub, I get into the car with Jeffrey and Ghislaine, and Ghislaine says, “He’s coming home, and I want you to do for him what you do for Epstein.”
