Carolyn Andriano, a witness in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial, claims Virginia Roberts Giuffre told her, who was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims that she had sex with Prince Andrew.

Ms. Giuffre has filed a lawsuit alleging that when she was 17, she was forced to have sex with Jeffrey Epstein’s friends, including the Duke of York, who denies the allegations.

If the case proceeds, the Queen’s second son will face a full jury trial in New York.

Andriano, a Maxwell victim, has now revealed that Ms. Giuffre, then 17, texted her from London in March 2001, claiming to have had dinner and sex with the prince.

Andriano made new claims in the new interview. Ms. Giuffre showed her the now-famous photo of Prince Andrew with his arm around her in Maxwell’s central London apartment, she said.

Ms. Giuffre – then Miss Roberts – texted her to brag about going to dinner with Andrew, Maxwell, and Epstein, she told the Daily Mail.

Adriano claimed Giuffre showed her a photo of herself wearing a pink tank top and Andrew’s arm around her waist, with Maxwell grinning in the background.

Andriano believes the photo was taken with a cellphone, which was just starting to become popular at the time. She speculated that it could have been a digital photograph or a disposable photograph.

“Virginia just couldn’t believe it. Maxwell had told her she had a surprise for her and I guess the surprise was Prince Andrew. She was excited. I guess when you’re meeting somebody that famous, I would have been excited too,” she said.

“She said they had dinner and they had sex. She didn’t say anything about what they ate or where they were — that’s not what we were talking about. It was just that she couldn’t believe she got to sleep with Prince Andrew.”

Giuffre introduced Andriano to Epstein and Maxwell when they were teenagers growing up in Florida in the early 2000s, she testified at Maxwell’s trial.

She claimed that Epstein sexually abused her hundreds of times at his Palm Beach mansion during so-called massage sessions that Maxwell helped arrange over the next few years.

Andriano told the Mail that she holds Giuffre responsible for her involvement with the heinous duo.

“She knew how old I was, and she knew I came from a broken home,” Andriano said about Ms. Giuffre.

“I don’t think she (Giuffre) deserves any compensation. I don’t think she was coerced into doing anything,” Andriano said.

Giuffre, an outspoken critic of Epstein and Maxwell, claims the sick duo sex-trafficked her to Andrew three times — in London, New York, and on Epstein’s Caribbean private island. The 61-year-old prince’s case is expected to go to trial later this year.

Andriano claimed that after their initial conversations, Giuffre never mentioned the encounter with Andrew again.

“I never got to ask Virginia about Prince Andrew again after she told me about it. She’d told me never to repeat it again,” she stated.

Andriano claimed she never received a response when she asked her friend if she had been paid.

Andriano told the jury at Maxwell’s trial in lower Manhattan that Giuffre had told her she could make money by going to Epstein’s mansion and giving him a massage.

She claims Epstein stripped naked in front of her and Giuffre in his massage room and laid face down on the massage table during her first visit to the estate.

“And I looked at Virginia and she eye-motioned to me to say, ‘don’t worry, it will be OK.’ Forty-five minutes into the massage, he flipped over. I stepped back and Virginia climbed on top of him and proceeded to have sex with him,” Andriano recalled.

“I didn’t know what to do or say or where to go, so I sat on the couch and watched until it was finished. We walked back downstairs and Maxwell asked, ‘How did everything go?’ Virginia gave her a look to say it was a great session and that’s when Maxwell asked me for my telephone number,” she said.

Andriano, now a mother of five, told the Mail that she was proud that her testimony had helped convict Epstein of luring and grooming her and other underage girls to be abused by him.

She said, “I’m not ashamed at being a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. For other girls that have been victimized, I want them to know that it is OK to come out and tell somebody even if you don’t want to be identified, and the sooner the better.”
