Plaintiff Virginia L. Giuffre, by her attorneys Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, for her □

Complaint“against_Defendant Prince-Andrew, Duke_of_York, a/k/a Andrew. Albert—Christian—... Edward (“Prince Andrew”), avers upon personal knowledge as to her own acts and status and upon information and belief and to all other matters as follows:

coe "NATURE OF THE ACTION” This suit arises out of Defendant’s sexual abuse of Plaintiff whenshe was under the ~~

of 18_years old... □□ 2. During 2000-2002, beginning when Plaintiff was 16, Plaintiff was the victim of sex trafficking and abuse by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 3 Eipstein’s trafficking scheme involved recruiting young girls, often by claiming =

they would be paid $200 for simply providing a massage to a wealthy billionaire. This same pattern was repeated numerous times with countless children and young women, 4. As United States District Judge Kenneth Marra found, “From between about 1999 and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than 30 minor girls ... at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere in the United States and overseas... . Inaddition to his own sexual abuse of the victims, Epstein directed other persons to abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls to him. Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others.” Opinion and Order, Doc. No. 435 at 1-2, Jane Doe f and Jane Doe 2 v. United States, Case No. 9:08-cv-80736 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 21, 2019). 5. Like other minor children who came before and after her, Plaintiff was initially recruited to provide massages, and thereafter to engage in a variety of sexual acts, for Epstein, Plaintiff was required to be on call for Epstein for sexual purposes and frequently traveled with

him both nationally and internationally. Plaintiff was regularly abused by Epstein and was lent

out by Epstein to other powerful-men-for sexual purposes, 6. One such powerful man to whom Plaintiff was lent out for sexual purposes was the Defendant, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.

22.79, ... Prince Andrew was a close friend of Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite who ..

“spent years overseeing ‘and managing Epstein’s sex trafficking network, and actively recruited ~~~"

________ underage girls, including Plaintiff — =» 8. According to Prince Andrew, he met Epstein through Maxwell in 1999. Prince Andrew thereafter became a frequent guest in Epstein’s various homes around the world, including New York City where he sexually abused Plaintiff at Epstein and Maxwell’s invitation when she was a minor. 9, After publicly feigning ignorance about the scope of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation and sympathy for Epstein’s victims, Prince Andrew has refused to cooperate with U.S. authorities in their investigation and prosecution of Epstein and his co-conspirators. "10, Prince Andrew committed sexual assault and battery upon Plaintiff when she was 17 years old. As such, Prince Andrew is responsible for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress pursuant to New York common law. The damage to Plaintiff has been severe and lasting. Ll. This action has been timely filed pursuant to the Child Victims Act, N.Y. C.P.L.R, § 214-g. The actions described herein constitute sexual offenses by Defendant under New York Penal Law Article 130, and were committed against Plaintiff when she was a child less than eighteen years of age, for which she suffered physical, psychological, and other injuries as a result.

Epstein’s recruiters found their targets everywhere and anywhere, including □

schools, spas, trailer parks, and the street. 20. The recruiter would then manipulate the young female into coming back to one of Epstein’s residences by offering the young girl something she needed, depending on her situation. In many cases, the recruiter sought out girls who wanted to be professional masseuses and invited

them to one of Epstein’s homes by offering them what appeared to be legitimate masseuse positions. 21. Once in the residence, Epstein and his co-conspirators would work in concert to impress and intimidate the young female with displays of vast wealth and power. They would brag about their connections to very powerful political and social figures, and display photographs of themselves with those figures around Epstein’s homes. They would normalize the sexual abuse by displaying photographs and art displaying nude females, and a massage table and spa related products in an effort to legitimize the area where the abuse was set to occur.

Epstein’s employees have also described young girls constantly being present at Epstein’s different homes. Epstein’s constant access to young girls is also evidenced in “his “Black Book,” a book of phone numbers and contact information listing girls to call for “massages” in various cities, flight logs documenting his frequent travel with young girls and powerful individuals on his private plane, and troves of lewd photographs of young girls recovered from his homes. In his Black Book, Epstein had at least 12 different contact numbers listed for Prince Andrew. — □

Plaintiff became a victim of sex trafficking and repeated sexual abuse after Maxwell recruited her into Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation when Plaintiff was working at the Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. 25. Between 2000 and 2002, Epstein sexually abused Plaintiff at numerous locations including his mansion in this District, at 9 East 71* Street, New York, New York 10021. 26.

Fearing for her life, and not wanting to subject another young girl to the abuse she was forced to endure, Plaintiff fled from Thailand to Australia to escape from Epstein. B.

Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.” 54.

In November 2019, in response to this renewed scrutiny, Prince Andrew sat for an interview with BBC Newsnight. Prince Andrew stated that he did not regret his friendship with Epstein and that he had no recollection of meeting Plaintiff, despite photographic evidence to the oon ren i i 60. Prince Andrew publicly pledged, including in a statement stepping down from his public duties and in his Newsnight interview, to assist the U.S. authorities with their criminal ~~~ investigation of Epstein and his co-conspirators.

Walker told the Sun newspaper she recalled Andrew being at Tramp because she accidentally stepped on his foot while dancing. She told the paper she had decided to speak out after watching Andrew’s denials in the now infamous BBC Newsnight interview about his friendship with Epstein and Giuffre’s allegations. oe

Case 1:21-cv-06702-LAK Document 67-1 Filed 01/14/22 Page 45 of 46 And now she will "do her duty" if called up as a witness, her lawyer said. Virginia, now 38, claims she was forced to have sex with the duke in London, at J effrey __.. Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and on his Caribbean island. One of the instances where Virginia claims she was forced to have sex with the Prince was after the trip to Tramp in Mayfair. She is trying to win damages in a New York civil lawsuit. The Prince has vehemently denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s wrongdoing at

Walker's statement could contradict Prince Andrew's claim that he had "no recollection" of meeting Ms Giuffre. The woman, from London, claims she remembers the night because she apologised to Prince Andrew after standing on his foot on the dancefloor. But in a BBC Newsnight interview in 2019, Prince Andrew insisted he was not at the nightclub on that night - because he was with his daughter in Pizza Express in Woking, surrey. Ms Walker, then 28, said: "He (Andrew) looked like he was having a great time. “And he was with this young girl who was close to my own age, perhaps even a bit younger than me. “The young woman wasn’t smiling, it was the opposite of smiles. "They were with the woman who (had) just been arrested, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Epstein. I will never forget the night because I was told this is a real Prince.” Her lawyer Lisa Bloom, who is representing several of Epstein’s victims, confirmed her client’s position, saying: “Ms Walker has already given her evidence to the FBI and been very consistent In what she has said. “She had never been in the presence of a royal before or since and so it was very memorable to her. “If she is called as a witness she will do her duty.” LEGAL BATTLE i This follows news that Prince Andrew’s sex assault accuser has agreed to hand over a secret document which his legal team believes may defeat her bombshell lawsuit,

Case 1:21-cv-06702-LAK Document 67-1 Filed 01/14/22 Page 46 of 46 Lawyers for Virginia Roberts Giuffre will give a copy of a “release” signed in 2009 — following her settlement with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein ~ to the duke, The Sun On Sunday revealed. Andrew’s attorneys hope the clause will exempt Queen’s second son from any culpability in her sex assault claims against him — but Virginia’s lawyers have branded it “irrelevant”, □ □□□□ The secret agreement is said to not apply to the royal — instead releasing lawyers, employees, agents and heirs from liability in connection with the Epstein case. Virginia's lead lawyer, David Boies, revealed in a new legal document, filed in New York this week, that he was happy to hand the document over to Andrew’s team. He said: “Although we believe that the release is irrelevant to the case against Prince Andrew, -—— now that-service has-been. accepted-and-the case is-proceeding-to-a determination-on the-.__...__. merits, we believe that counsel for Prince Andrew have a right to review the release and to make whatever arguments they believe appropriate based on it. “Accordingly, we have given Mr Epstein’s Estate notice of Prince Andrew’s request and have asked the Estate to consent to our providing a copy of the release to Prince Andrew’s ~~ counsel.” Tt came as the prince’s US lawyer, Andrew Brettler, finally agreed he had been served — and revealed that the royal would respond to Virginia’s explosive claims by October 29. The move formally marked an end to Andrew’s wall of silence strategy — with his lawyers promising “dismantle” his sex accuser’s allegations in detail. Sources close to the Duke of York confirméd to The Sun On Sunday that he is'to try and turn ~ the tables on Virginia Roberts Giuffre by challenging her account. We pay for your stories! i
