Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre says Ghislaine Maxwell “opened the door to hell” amid her abuse alongside convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In a victim statement released for the first time, Giuffre says she was “chosen” by Maxwell at the Mar-a-Lago Hotel in Florida to be abused.

She claims Maxwell “used her womanhood” to get her to give in to Epstein and Maxwell’s sickly abusive fantasies.

Her statement read: “Your Honor, my name is Virginia Roberts Giuffre. For more than two years, between the ages of 16 and 19, I was molested by Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Before I begin, I want to give credit to the police, FBI investigators, prosecutors and judges who have poured their time and integrity into this case, hopefully setting a precedent for the victims and the hunters who pursue them and.” thank them profusely.

“Well, if the court pleases, I would like to direct my statement on the impact of sacrifice to Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Ghislaine, twenty-two years ago, in the summer of 2000, you saw me at the Mar-a-Lago Hotel in Florida and made a choice. You chose to follow me and win me over to Jeffrey Epstein. Just hours later, you and he abused me together for the first time.

“Together you have harmed me physically, mentally, sexually and emotionally. Together you did unspeakable things that still have a destructive effect on me to this day.

“Let me be clear: without question, Jeffrey Epstein was a terrible pedophile. But I never would have met Jeffrey Epstein if it wasn’t for you. You opened the door to hell for me and for so many others. And then, Ghislaine, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you used your femininity to betray us, and you led us all through it.”

Ms Giuffre also alleged in a US civil lawsuit that she was forced by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with the Duke of York three times after she was trafficked by the couple.

Prince Andrew has settled Giuffre’s civil sexual abuse lawsuit against him for an unconfirmed sum said to be in the region of $12 million.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied the allegations. His settlement did not include an admission of wrongdoing.
