UK Media Investigates Clintons & Epstein. Virginia Giuffre Exposes Andrew & Maxwell by The Duran
The Duran Quick Take: Episode 396. The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the BBC Panorama interview of Virginia Giuffre who says Epstein trafficked her to the Prince Andrew, bringing her to London in 2001 when she was 17-years-old. Ghislaine Maxwell was also accused of being Epstein’s handler during the interview.
A woman who claims she was forced to have sex with Jeffrey Epstein and several associates has appealed to Britons for support, after Prince Andrew vehemently denied having inappropriate contact with her.
Virginia Giuffre says Epstein trafficked her to the British prince, bringing her to London in 2001 when she was 17-years-old. In an interview broadcast Monday, she says she was forced to have sex with him three times.
“He knows what happened. I know what happened, and there’s only one of us telling the truth, and I know that’s me,” Giuffre told BBC Panorama.
“I implore the citizens in the UK to stand up beside me, to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being ok. This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked, this is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys’ royalty.”
In her interview, which was recorded before the prince spoke to the BBC, Giuffre said she was taken to the Tramp nightclub in London by Epstein and his former associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew asked her to dance, she said.
“He is the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life. I mean it was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me, like his sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere,” she said.
Andrew, the eighth-in-line to the throne, said he could not have had sex with Giuffre at Maxwell’s home on the night she alleges because he had been to a pizza restaurant in the commuter town of Woking for a children’s party. –Reuters
The 59-year-old Andrew insists he has no recollection of meeting Giuffre.
In response to Giuffre’s interview, Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “It is emphatically denied that The Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”
Andrew, meanwhile, was kicked out of Buckingham Palace and had his 60th birthday canceled by the Queen. Seems extreme for a royal they claim is innocent, no?
Andrew, meanwhile, gave a disastrous interview to the BBC last month in which he said he regretted his “ill-judged” relationship with Epstein.
Dershowitz
On the other side of the pond, Giuffre may add a sex-abuse claim to a defamation lawsuit against famous Harvard attorney and former Epstein pal Alan Dershowitz, who she says she was forced to have sex with.
Giuffre sued Dershowitz in April after he repeatedly denied her claims and called her a liar, according to Bloomberg. Dershowitz counter-sued for defamation and emotional distress.
Charles Cooper, Giuffre’s lawyer, said in a hearing before U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska that his client may take advantage of New York’s new Child Victims Act, which in August opened a one-year window for people to sue over sex abuse they suffered as children even if the claims would otherwise be too old. New York previously required most childhood sex abuse victims to sue by the time they they turned 23.
Dershowitz’s lawyer, Howard Cooper, said the act would not apply to Giuffre, whose claims date from the early 2000s, because she wasn’t a minor at the time. –Bloomberg
Giuffre’s lawyers also brought up a Sunday story in the New York Times regarding a mysterious hacker claiming to have a vast trove of Epstein’s covertly recorded video footage and financial records, which he says he has stored on encrypted overseas servers.
The man, who called himself “Patrick Kessler,” said he has videos of powerful men in “compromising sexual positions, including rape.”

All well and good but how about some evidence regarding Prince Andrew rather than unsupported allegations. It is clear he has been mixing with some dodgely people and probably used by them for prestige purposes, but beyond that what?
@ Theopilus “but beyond that what?”
Sucking girls toes etc etc perhaps?
I think Prince Darling there has the real ‘pee tapes’ stashed away in his closet.
@ Prince of Darkness.
It will, of course, be a very large closet 🙂
Well, at least that royal family doesn’t go around garroting journalists. Why should they? They have them all in their pocket, paid for by the royals who DO go around garroting journalists.
Don’t garrote journalists? Silly boy.
Don’t need no proof these days. Mere suspicion and coincidence will do nicely.
Where you been, fool? Don’t know the rules of the game? When it’s a ‘he said, she said’, we just leave one said out and ‘voila!’. Guilty as inferred.
PS: We can bury something as quick as we can accuse, so sounds like you’re on the right side of things. Our side.
I know I’m not going to get too many folk agreeing with me, however, in that photograph of Andrew, Virginia and Ghislaine would you look at Virginia and say “this is an underage girl (17) who doesn’t want to be here and is doing this against her will” ?? She looks thrilled to bits to be with Andrew. Giving the interview was ill-advised and a mistake, and Andrew probably lied, but at best he’s guilty of that and being stupid and gullible. I’m not sure he deserves the extent of the derision and condemnation he is getting. And I’m no… Read more »
You’ve missed the point. Cohorting with someone like Epstein who most assuredly was working for Mossad, to name one agency (if you doubt the likelihood, then just stop reading here), and accepting the prearranged pleasures of anyone, regardless of age…..means you HAVE to be in possession of such poor judgement that, as a prominent public figure, in days of yore….you’d likely have ended up stoned to death in the open square.
BUT….he IS British, so…..there’s that excuse.
Indeed. As I said, stupid and gullible. But based on her evidence and that photograph, he is being called a paedophile and accused of having sex with underaged Ms Guiffre (who would not have been considered under-age where I live). So no, not missed the point … but you missed mine.
She does not appear to be under any pressure whatsoever. Now she may now realise that she was rounded up and used, we usually do become wiser with age, but I’m not sure how this reflects on Andrew, apart from the fact that he was “stupid and gullible”.
I agree, Helen. That girl does not look under-age at all. Many girls hop into bed with famous and rich men for the profit. No pressure needed there at all.
And in case that she is or was under-age, where are her parents? Parents are supposed to watch over their under-aged daughters. Does she have no parents? Did she drop out of the sky? Or is her father an incest man, so she is used to old men abusing her? Lots of questions the press did not ask or explain. Why not?
Would have been okay if it were your daughter used to deposit some royal DNA at that age? Apparently she looks mature enough to make decisions and deny powerful men their lust….and get away with it to you. Is the entire honey trap operation justified if they are near legal age? She was taken from the USA to have sex at multiple locations. Sure some places prostitution at young age seems normal and it is legal. I CAN’T AGREE THAT A STATE RAN HONEY TRAP, USED TO EXTORT AND CONTROL MY POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVE, SHOULD BE EXCUSED, EVEN IF THE PROSTITUTES… Read more »
You are missing the point here. The honey trap was run by Epstein and Maxwell. No-one thinks that’s a good thing. Clever diabolical etc.
However, we are talking about Andrew. He was dumb enough to become a victim … no doubt there’s plenty of video taken of him for use later .. soyou could call him a victim of the scam.
Can we call him a paedophile on the basis of Guiffre’s age? 17? She looks thrilled to be with him; no reluctance evident there.
Let’s get real.
Andrew acts dumb to save his “axe”. I do not believe that he is dumb enough to “fall into a trap”. He certainly has political advisors. All of the royal family do. The story of “Andrew the victim” sounds good but it is a fake story.
Setting oneself up for the honey traps is the problem. We end up with a government full of adulterers that can be extorted. It’s not all about age. She explained that she understood that his “happiness” was her job. Sure, a 17 year old is near adult, but the real problem is she is used in a government (Israel obviously) ran honey trap targeting US politicians and world elite. That friend that brought us the USS Liberty and the World Trade Center demolition, has a file, probably including video and sperm (DNA) on many, many, US politicians and elite. Trump,… Read more »
Best stay out of the USA altogether, it is Sodom and Gomorrha.
Good day Gentlemen. After watching your recent broadcast on YouTube you mentioned that no one has been reporting about the Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and that you have never seen pictures of it. I would like to share this link with you which has been confirmed that on August 12th this year the ranch was found and exclusive video footage was presented by TruNews.com as they were the first to report about this. They have since then been following the stories and trying to get all information into the light which they might obtain. Please note that the FBI… Read more »
@ Zarael.
Thank you for the link.
Yes indeed Zarael … the TruNews gentlemen are amazing with their insight and prescience.
We know that the BBC is most unlikely to be the outlet that severely damages the Royal Family without a good reason. This being the case, it is feasible that the UK government at all the highest levels are keen to limit the ‘Royal’ damage as more and more powerful Americans are arrested for ‘kiddy fiddling’ and similar crimes, with more US arrests due in the coming weeks. This is partly why the US Democratic Party is in ‘meltdown’ and desperate to remove Trump, as Trump’s officials are pursuing these appalling crimes, which have also involved some Republicans. The Panorama… Read more »
Nature has given my laboring-class what it takes to safely and in a challenging and enjoyable way, by hard manual labor to produce all of the wealth and profit in society. — Namely, our capacity to accomplish the slow and careful thought needed to protect life and limb, by identifying all of the pinch points and shear points in manual labor before they start breaking bones and slicing flesh. — And so, as our unique type of intelligence is just as essential as that of those in a higher-class, as enslaving the laboring-class as the 50% working-poor is the root… Read more »
President Trump has the Royals by the balls right now..He will do a power play..
He’ll demand they sell him the Falklands, so that he can attack South America from its southern flank and CNN will call it: “A beautiful sight to behold. Truly presidential but he needs to be impeached regardless.”
Oh, no. He wants to buy the Malvinas to build another Trump Hotel there and install a new Trump Golf Course …
