"I must be in a minority here - but… Virginia G spent 6 months living with Ron Eppinger before she met Maxwell. Eppinger has quite some history and heavily into prostitution.
Additionally, Giuffre was banned from contact with her three children in Australia before her death.
I have a number of questions about her family history especially the role of her own father and mother in not protecting her".
On wikipedia today- Virgina Giuffre, early life: "It was reported that she came from a 'troubled home' and from the age of 7 was molested by a close family friend. In her memoir, Giuffre claimed that she was abused by her father from as early as the age of seven and that he might have might have received payments from Epstein.... She then went from being in 'an abusive situation, to being a runaway, to living in foster homes'. She lived on the streets at the age of 14, where she says she found only 'hunger and pain and more abuse'. Later she was abused by a 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 Model 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 age 14 Giuffre was reunited with her father and returned to live with him. Her father worked as a maintenance engineer at the Mar-a-Lago property owned by Donald Trump and helped Giuffre obtain a job there..." The wikipedia entries have many blue evidential links in support of key issues.
On another Gransnet post today in News and Politics section someone has posted this video tube interview: "From the Grave: Virginia Giufree names Israeli pm as her Epstein abuser"..
I have just listened to the interview. The PM referred to wasn't named in the book- but others have traced the date to her earlier court deposition documents, at time of incident, where she named the Israel PM Ethus Olmert. She described his rape as the most savage she had experienced and spurred her on to leave Epstein. Ethus Olmert was later convicted to 2 counts of bribery in 2014 to the equivalent of 160 US dollars. He returned to politics in 2019 stating an intention to set up a new party and challenge Netanyahu.
Apparently she chose not to specifically name many of her abusers in the book at time of writing as if they had not been convicted thus far she believed she would make herself vulnerable to retaliation. She named Andrew as she had already made her allegations in public and the case had been settled.
Guiffre successfully sued Maxwell for defamation in 2015. She pursued criminal charges against Epstein but he died so court documents were sealed (some released in 2019 for Maxwell's trial and some more recently- though not all). It has recently been reported here in UK that Prince Andrew had Giuffre's social security detail and asked his private security officer to dig up dirt on her and also may have tried to engineer on line trolling of her. Now apparently being investigated by Metropolitan police.
Virginia met Robert Giuffree in 2002, not so very long after escaping her life being trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. She married him in April 2005 and they welcomed three children together. She was prevented from seeing her children only "in the months leading up to her death as a result of a restraining order filed by her husband Robert".
The facts show that Virginia had a troubled life from an early age. She was vulnerable and on the streets at the age of 14 a child. Children do not choose to become prostitutes. Men having sex with children are abusers- ALWAYS. Her father introduced her to Mar-a Lago and Trump. There Virginia came into contact with Epstein. Many of the men in her life from an early age, as a child, were not her benefactors, indeed were her abusers. She was damaged as a result. No child can be held responsible and blamed for the abusive acts towards her by adults. She was not protected and although escaped Epstein she did not escape her memories and there impact on her. She remained vulnerable.
Until their marriage began to break down Robert Giuffre had no declared concerns about Virginia. What were the reasons for him filing a restraining order, after many years of no concern parenting, during the breakdown of their marriage, to prevent her seeing her children- in all the circumstances it would be wholly unfair to speculate.
So many have sought to defame and smear Virgina Giuffre; I would not wish to join that list.
