The list itself is from a civil suit – the Virginia Guiffre case.

Despite Ms. Guiffre long being the main witness against Epstein, little is ever said about where Epstein recruited her from: Mar-a-Lago. I only found it out by deeply researching her myself. I’m sorry if that makes some uncomfortable, but I always think it’s better to know things, than not know them.

Virginia Giuffre was born Virginia Louise Roberts in Sacramento, California, on August 9, 1983, to parents Sky and Lynn Roberts. The family relocated to Loxahatchee in Palm Beach County, Florida, when she was four years old. Giuffre has a younger brother. It was reported that she had come from a “troubled home” and, from the age of seven, was molested by a close family friend. “I was just so mentally scarred already at such a young age, and I ran away from that,” she said on Panorama in 2019. Giuffre told the Miami Herald that she went from being in “an abusive situation, to being a runaway, to living in foster homes”. She lived on the streets at age 14, where she says she found only, “hunger and pain and [more] abuse”. Later she was abused by a 65-year-old sex trafficker, Ron Eppinger, in Miami. Giuffre lived with Eppinger for approximately 6 months. Eppinger reportedly ran a front business for international sex trafficking known as the modeling agency “Perfect 10”. He was raided by the FBI and later pleaded guilty to charges of alien smuggling for prostitution, interstate travel for prostitution, and money laundering.

At the age of 14, Giuffre reunited with her father and returned to live with him. Her father worked as a maintenance manager at the Mar-a-Lago property owned by Donald Trump, and also helped Giuffre obtain a job there.

In mid-2000, Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell when working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club while reading a book about massage therapy. Maxwell, a British socialite and daughter of the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, approached Giuffre, noted the book that she was reading, inquired about her interest in massage, and offered her a potential job working for Epstein as a traveling masseuse with the assurance that no experience was necessary. When Giuffre arrived at Epstein’s Palm Beach home, she says he was naked lying down and Maxwell told her how to massage him. “They seemed like nice people so I trusted them, and I told them I’d had a really hard time in my life up until then - I’d been a runaway, I’d been sexually abused, physically abused… That was the worst thing I could have told them because now they knew how vulnerable I was,” Giuffre stated. Giuffre has stated that after Maxwell introduced her to Jeffrey Epstein, the two quickly began grooming her to provide sexual services under the guise that she was to be trained as a professional massage therapist.

Between 2000 and 2002, Giuffre was closely associated with Epstein and Maxwell, traveling between Epstein’s residences in Palm Beach and Manhattan (at the Herbert N. Straus House), with additional trips to Epstein’s Zorro ranch in New Mexico and private island Little Saint James. In the Miami Herald’s investigative journalism series “Perversion of Justice”, Giuffre describes her experiences of being trafficked by Epstein to provide massages and sexual services for him and a number of his business associates over a two-and-a-half-year period. In her interview with the BBC, Giuffre said she was “passed around like a platter of fruit” to Epstein’s powerful associates, and taken round the world on private jets.

Of the instance in March 2001 that Giuffre was allegedly trafficked to Prince Andrew, she stated in an interview that it was a “wicked” and “really scary time” in her life and that she “couldn’t comprehend how in the highest level of the government powerful people were allowing this to happen. Not just allowing but participating in it”. After visiting a nightclub, Giuffre says Maxwell told her that she, “had to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey”. In court documents from a civil suit that were released from seal in 2019, Giuffre named several others that she claims Epstein and Maxwell instructed her to have sex with...In a 2011 deposition unsealed in 2020, Giuffre alleged seeing former president Bill Clinton with two young women while on Epstein’s island, though she recanted the allegation in court records unsealed in 2019. Many of the men denied Giuffre’s allegations.

In September 2002, at the age of 19, Giuffre flew to Thailand and attended the International Training Massage School in Chiang Mai. Maxwell provided her with tickets to travel to Thailand, and instructed her to meet with a specific Thai girl to bring her back to the United States for Epstein. While at the massage school in Thailand in 2002, she met Robert Giuffre, an Australian martial arts trainer, and the two married quickly thereafter.
