Virginia Lee Giuffre (née Roberts; born August 9, 1983) is the most publicly prominent survivor and accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. Recruited at age 15 or 16 by Ghislaine Maxwell while working as a changing room assistant at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, Giuffre was subsequently subjected to years of systematic sexual abuse and international trafficking by Epstein and his associates. Her civil complaint filed in 2009 — originally brought as Jane Doe No. 102 — described in detail how she was transported on Epstein's private aircraft to properties in Palm Beach, Manhattan, Little St. James Island, New Mexico, and international destinations including Paris and London, where she was sexually exploited by Epstein, Maxwell, and others.

Giuffre's legal advocacy has been instrumental in exposing the scale of Epstein's criminal enterprise and the failures of the justice system to hold him accountable. Her December 2014 joinder motion in the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) litigation, her 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, her 2019 lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz, and her 2021 civil action against Prince Andrew collectively produced critical depositions, documents, and testimony that became foundational evidence in the subsequent criminal prosecution of Maxwell. Giuffre's testimony contributed to Maxwell's conviction in December 2021 on five federal counts related to sex trafficking of minors.

Throughout her two-decade fight for justice, Giuffre and her family endured a sustained campaign of threats, intimidation, and retaliation. As she wrote in her 2025 memoir: "Seeking to silence me, my powerful enemies have threatened to bankrupt me and even to have me killed. I haven't stopped talking" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025). The intimidation ranged from Epstein's direct threats against her family during the abuse itself, to private investigators stalking victim families during the Palm Beach investigation, to FBI-confirmed credible death threats after the Miami Herald's "Perversion of Justice" series renewed public scrutiny of the case.

Early Life and Recruitment#

Background

Virginia Lee Roberts was born on August 9, 1983, and grew up in circumstances she has publicly described as difficult. By her mid-teens, she was working as a changing room assistant at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, earning approximately $9 per hour. Her father worked as a maintenance manager at the same club. As described in her Jane Doe No. 102 civil complaint, she was "a vulnerable young girl" and "an impressionable and vulnerable young girl of modest means."

Recruitment at Mar-a-Lago

In approximately the summer of 1999 or 2000, when Roberts was 15 or 16, she was approached at Mar-a-Lago by Ghislaine Maxwell. According to FBI 302 interview reports, Maxwell approached the teenager while she was in her work uniform and told her she worked for "a very wealthy gentleman who was looking for a travelling masseuse," promising she "would get training and be paid well." Maxwell "spoke with [victim]'s father and told him it was a wonderful opportunity."

The Jane Doe No. 102 complaint provides a detailed account of what followed: Maxwell "asked Plaintiff if she was interested in learning massage therapy and earning a great deal of money while learning the profession." Roberts's father "was not apprehensive because he felt comforted that an older woman had approached Plaintiff with this opportunity" and "dropped off Plaintiff at Defendant's mansion that same day." Maxwell met them outside the Palm Beach estate and "assured the minor girl's father that Ms. Maxwell would provide transportation home for his teenaged daughter."

Maxwell then led the teenager inside to a spa room where Epstein was lying naked on a massage table. The complaint alleges Maxwell "took off her own shirt and left on her underwear and started rubbing her breasts across Defendant's body, impliedly showing Plaintiff what she was expected to do." Maxwell instructed Roberts to remove her clothes, and the encounter escalated into sexual assault. Afterward, Epstein paid Roberts "hundreds of dollars," told her it was "for two hours of work," and he and Maxwell "giddily told Plaintiff to return the following day and told her she had 'lots of potential.'"

This recruitment pathway — targeting economically vulnerable teenagers through a seemingly legitimate employment offer, using a woman to create false reassurance, and employing wealth to normalize exploitation — is consistent with the systematic recruitment patterns documented across dozens of Epstein's victims.

Abuse and Trafficking#

Escalation and Control

Following her initial encounter, Roberts was "lured" to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion "every day for the next two weeks" for continued sexual exploitation. During her second visit, Epstein asked her to quit her Mar-a-Lago job and travel with him, promising she would "earn much more money while learning the massage profession." Under his "dominion and control," Epstein's "daily routine required the minor Plaintiff to perform sexually on Defendant multiple times per day."

The complaint describes how Epstein obtained a passport for Roberts: "Epstein assisted [victim] in getting her passport. [Victim] got passport photographs of herself and provided them to Epstein. The remaining paperwork was taken care of by Epstein or someone on his behalf." This process — documented also in the FBI 302 report — enabled the international trafficking that followed.

Properties Where Abuse Occurred

Roberts was trafficked across Epstein's network of properties. Her complaint enumerates that Epstein "transported Plaintiff in his private jet to locations that included Palm Beach, New York City, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis, and numerous other domestic destinations, as well as international destinations, including Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa."

Flight logs filed in the Giuffre v. Maxwell litigation document Virginia Roberts as a passenger on Epstein's aircraft on numerous occasions between December 2000 and October 2003:

December 11, 2000: West Palm Beach to Teterboro with "Virginia Roberts, Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Emmy Taylor"
December 17, 2000: Teterboro to St. Thomas with "Virginia Roberts, Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Alberto Pinto"
March 29, 2001: Teterboro to Santa Fe with "Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Virginia Roberts, Alberto Pinto, Banu Kukuckoulu, Marvin Minsky, Henry Jarecki"
Multiple additional flights to Little St. James Island (at least nine documented trips to St. Thomas between December 2000 and October 2003)

At each property, the same pattern of abuse recurred. As the complaint states: "Each time they would travel to one of these destinations, the same pattern of sexual abuse would occur, often with a vast array of aspiring models, actresses, celebrities, and/or other females, including minors, from all over the world."

Trafficking to Third Parties

A central element of Giuffre's testimony is her allegation that she was "required to be sexually exploited by Defendant's adult male peers, including royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen, and/or other professional and personal acquaintances." The Jane Doe No. 102 complaint states: "Whenever Defendant transported Plaintiff with him in his private jet to any destination, Defendant would pay Plaintiff a flat rate per day while he and/or his above-mentioned associates would sexually exploit and abuse minor Plaintiff."

Duration and Escape

The abuse continued from approximately age 15 through 19. Her complaint notes that "despite Defendant's stating shortly before Plaintiff's sixteenth birthday that he soon would have to trade her in because she was getting too old, Defendant continued to sexually exploit Plaintiff until she fled at age 19." Epstein and Maxwell "acknowledged and celebrated Plaintiff's 16th birthday," demonstrating full awareness of her minority.

Roberts eventually escaped Epstein's control, relocating to Australia where she married Robert Giuffre and started a family. As her defamation complaint later stated, FBI agents "located Giuffre in Australia — where she had been hiding from Epstein and Maxwell for several years" — in 2011, when they "arranged to meet with her at the U.S. Consulate in Sidney."

Key Accusations#

Ghislaine Maxwell (Convicted)

Giuffre's most extensively documented accusation was against Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she identified as both her recruiter and a direct participant in her abuse. The defamation complaint described Maxwell as "one of the main women who Epstein used to procure under-aged girls for sexual activities and a primary co-conspirator and participant in his sexual abuse and sex trafficking scheme."

Specific allegations included Maxwell personally participating in sexual assaults ("Ms. Maxwell then took off her own shirt"), directing nude photography of Roberts as a "birthday present" for Epstein, and coordinating Roberts's travel and scheduling. Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on five federal counts, including sex trafficking of a minor, and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Prince Andrew

Giuffre alleged she was trafficked to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, on at least three occasions — in London (at Maxwell's townhouse), New York, and at Little St. James Island. A widely published photograph shows Giuffre with Prince Andrew and Maxwell at Maxwell's London residence. In August 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew under the New York Child Victims Act. The case was settled in February 2022 for a reported sum estimated by media outlets at approximately £12 million, with Andrew making no admission of wrongdoing and making a substantial donation to Giuffre's charity supporting victims' rights.

Alan Dershowitz (Disputed)

Giuffre's amended complaint against Alan Dershowitz alleged that "between 2000 and 2002, Defendant sexually abused Plaintiff on numerous occasions, including at least once in New York." The complaint asserted Dershowitz was "Epstein's lawyer, close friend, and co-conspirator" and "one of the men to whom Epstein lent out Plaintiff for sex."

Dershowitz categorically denied all allegations and launched an aggressive public campaign against Giuffre, calling her a "certified, complete, total liar" and claiming her accusations were fabricated "in order to obtain money from a wealthy businessman." The complaint documents dozens of instances of what Giuffre's attorneys characterized as "knowingly false and malicious defamatory statements." In April 2024, Giuffre and Dershowitz reached a settlement in which Giuffre reportedly acknowledged that she "may have made a mistake" regarding Dershowitz. Dershowitz characterized this as a vindication of his longstanding denial.

Jean-Luc Brunel (Died in Custody)

Giuffre identified Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling agent, in her testimony and depositions as one of the men Epstein directed her to have sexual contact with. The FBI 302 report documented that "Jean Luc Brunel, was a model recruiter and was frequently around Epstein. Brunel would bring girls to Epstein." Most alarmingly, it stated that "an unknown individual sent Epstein three 12-year-old girls from France as a birthday gift... believed the girls may have been provided by Jean Luc Brunel." Brunel was arrested in Paris in December 2020 on charges of rape of minors and trafficking but was found dead in his prison cell on February 19, 2022, in what French authorities ruled a suicide.

Other Named Individuals

In her depositions and legal filings, Giuffre named additional individuals. The co-conspirators page documents that victim Virginia Giuffre named Leslie Wexner in a deposition as one of the men she was trafficked to. She also identified various other prominent figures in sealed and unsealed court documents.

Legal Proceedings#

Jane Doe No. 102 Civil Complaint (2009)

On May 4, 2009, Giuffre — then identified as Jane Doe No. 102 — filed a civil complaint against Jeffrey Epstein in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. This complaint, brought under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, contained the first detailed public allegations of her trafficking and abuse. The 27-page complaint described the systematic recruitment, grooming, interstate transportation, and sexual exploitation she endured, as well as the roles of Maxwell and other co-conspirators. This was a landmark filing that laid the evidentiary foundation for subsequent litigation.

CVRA Challenge and Joinder Motion (2014)

On December 30, 2014, Giuffre filed a motion to join the ongoing CVRA litigation (Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 v. United States, Case No. 9:08-cv-80736, S.D. Fla.), challenging the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement. Her joinder motion described Maxwell's role in her recruitment and trafficking and named several high-profile individuals, including Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz, to whom she alleged she had been trafficked.

This filing generated enormous public attention and triggered immediate responses from both Maxwell and Dershowitz. In the Epstein archive, an email from Epstein dated January 16, 2015 to journalist Landon Thomas Jr. of the New York Times reveals Epstein's reaction: he drafted talking points asserting that his former girlfriend could confirm that "Virginia" was lying, that "Doe 1 and 2, were local strippers," and that "she knows Clinton was never on the island" and "she knows no sex with Steven Hawking". A New York Times reporter responded that "the big issue is separating yourself from Andrew" and that Prince Andrew was "keeping the story alive."

Defamation Lawsuit Against Ghislaine Maxwell (2015–2017)

On September 21, 2015, Giuffre filed a defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 15-cv-07433-RWS). The complaint alleged that Maxwell had issued public statements calling Giuffre a liar — including statements that her allegations were "entirely false," "entirely untrue," and "obvious lies" — with the "malicious intent of discrediting and further damaging Giuffre worldwide."

The Epstein archive captures the immediate impact of this filing. An email from the same day, September 21, 2015, urges Epstein to "Please Call Ghislaine... Virginia has just filed suit against her in NY... she wants to speak with you...". This confirms ongoing coordination between Epstein and Maxwell regarding their legal strategy against Giuffre.

The defamation case produced critical discovery, including depositions of Maxwell and Giuffre, extensive document productions, and witness testimony. Much of the evidence was initially filed under seal but began to be publicly released in batches starting in 2019, with major unsealing in 2020 and 2024. The discovery produced in this case became a foundational resource for the federal criminal prosecution of Maxwell. The case settled in 2017, with terms sealed.

Lawsuit Against Alan Dershowitz (2019)

In April 2019, Giuffre filed an amended complaint against Alan Dershowitz in the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:19-cv-3377), alleging sexual abuse, defamation, and unlawful interception of communications. The complaint detailed dozens of allegedly defamatory public statements Dershowitz made about Giuffre across television, print, and social media. Dershowitz filed counterclaims for defamation. The case settled in April 2024.

Notably, a February 2015 email from Epstein reveals his direct involvement in coordinating efforts against Giuffre with Dershowitz. Epstein wrote: "did dershowtz contact you re the virgina police reports. he wanted to know, as they were when she was a juvenile would it be ok to release??" — indicating that Epstein and Dershowitz discussed obtaining and potentially releasing Giuffre's juvenile police records as part of efforts to discredit her.

Prince Andrew Civil Case (2021–2022)

In August 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew in the Southern District of New York under the New York Child Victims Act. The complaint alleged that Prince Andrew sexually abused Giuffre on multiple occasions when she was under 18, at Maxwell's London home, at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, and on Little St. James Island. In February 2022, the parties reached a settlement. Andrew made no admission of guilt but reportedly paid a substantial sum. In a joint statement, they stated that Andrew "never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre's character" and acknowledged she was "an established victim of abuse."

Ghislaine Maxwell Criminal Trial (2021)

Giuffre was a key witness at the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell in the Southern District of New York (United States v. Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330, AJN). The prosecution memorandum for the superseding indictment references the "experiences of one victim in particular" — designated Minor Victim-4 — and multiple victims whose abuse patterns mirrored Giuffre's account. The trial produced testimony from four victims, and the Second Circuit's opinion affirming Maxwell's conviction described how "the four victim-witnesses testified that Maxwell recruited them for, and participated in, their sexual abuse by Epstein. Three of the four testified that Maxwell participated directly in their abuse." Maxwell was convicted on five counts and sentenced to 20 years.

Threats, Intimidation, and Retaliation#

A distinctive element of Giuffre's story is the sustained campaign of threats and intimidation she and her family endured over more than two decades. These incidents, documented in law enforcement reports, court filings, and her 2025 memoir, illustrate the lengths to which powerful individuals went to silence her.

Epstein's Original Coercion (~2000)

While Giuffre was still being trafficked, Epstein established control through direct threats. He showed her a surveillance photo of her younger brother walking away from school with his backpack visible. "We know where your brother goes to school," Epstein said, adding: "You must never tell a soul what goes on in this house." He also claimed: "I own the Palm Beach Police Department, so they won't do anything about it" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Wider Intimidation During Palm Beach Investigation (2005–2006)

During the Palm Beach Police investigation, the obstruction of justice evidence documented in court filings shows systematic victim intimidation. The Palm Beach Police Department incident report recorded that a victim's father "stated there has been a private investigator [at] his house photographing his family and chasing visitors." Another victim was "personally contacted through a source that has maintained contact with Epstein" and told "she would receive monetary compensation for her assistance in not cooperating with law enforcement." The victim was told: "Those who help him will be compensated and those who hurt him will be dealt with" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025; court filings).

Maxwell and Epstein's Phone Calls to Australia (~2007)

While Giuffre was eight months pregnant in Australia, Maxwell called her about the investigation. "I can't believe this but, after everything he's done for all those girls, Jeffrey's being investigated. Have you been contacted?" Maxwell said Giuffre would be "taken care of" if she refused to cooperate with investigators. "So long as you don't say anything, everything is fine," she implied (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Days later, Epstein called with his lawyer on the line, taping the conversation. He characterized the accusers as "strippers and drug addicts" and asked whether she had spoken to anyone. Giuffre later wrote: "I knew in my bones that if I didn't give him the answers he wanted, he would hurt me and my family" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Stalkers in Australia (~2011)

After going public with journalist Sharon Churcher of the Daily Mail, Giuffre reported that she "had already seen shady characters hanging around our house" and "believed Epstein had sent them to intimidate me into staying silent. The stalkers had had the desired effect: I was scared" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025). Court documents in the obstruction record reference that "Epstein has even tracked down adverse witnesses as far away as Australia in the past to send the message not to testify against him."

Break-ins and Surveillance in Colorado (~2014–2015)

After filing her CVRA joinder motion in December 2014, Giuffre and her family — then living in Colorado — found evidence that strangers had entered their home multiple times: "deadbolts unlocked, front door wide open, their dog let outside." Sheriff's deputies speculated intruders may have entered to install spyware on the family's computers and suggested obtaining self-defense weapons. Giuffre purchased a five-shot revolver called "The Judge" and her husband Robbie acquired a nine-millimeter handgun (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Vehicle Pursuits and Intimidation (Colorado, ~2015)

Giuffre was "run off the road once by what I presumed were tabloid journalists" and sat "in the locked car on the side of the road, shielding my face and trying not to panic." The family was chased so frequently that her husband "became adept at turning down side streets at the last moment, pulling speedy U-turns, and driving more like we were in a war zone than a rural hamlet" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Late one night, a car approached their house slowly and stopped with high beams trained on their front door. Giuffre hid her children in a closet under laundry, loaded her revolver, and faced down the car for five minutes. "Later I would learn that other Epstein victims had experienced exactly this kind of intimidation: bright lights aimed at their windows at night." This tactic mirrored the documented pattern of investigator harassment in which a private investigator was observed "intermittently flashing his high beam lights into Jane Doe's home" during the 2010 civil litigation (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Deposition Intimidation (~2016)

During her deposition in the Maxwell defamation case, a lawyer "flung photos of my children on the table in front of me — as close to a Mafia-style intimidation tactic as I'd ever seen." The memory of Epstein displaying the surveillance photo of her brother years earlier had "never left her." She wrote: "I interpreted this brazen display of my babies' faces as a direct threat" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

FBI-Confirmed Credible Death Threat (~2018–2019)

Following the publication of the Miami Herald's "Perversion of Justice" investigative series in November 2018, the FBI contacted Giuffre in Australia to inform her of a "credible threat" on her life. The agent instructed her to contact the Australian Federal Police immediately. "I was so scared that I was shaking." Her husband rented a large mobile home and the family fled to "a one-horse town at the top end of Queensland, not far from Cape Melville National Park... completely off the grid" for three weeks (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Virginia's Public Anti-Suicide Statement

Aware of the dangers she faced, Giuffre publicly stated: "I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape, or form am I suicidal... If something happens to me — for the sake of my family, do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

Ongoing Impact on Family

The financial and personal toll on Giuffre's family was severe. As she described: "Financially, my family had struggled... ongoing threats to my family's safety meant that, more and more, Robbie felt he could no longer work outside the home." Her book's collaborator noted: "Several of the characters in these stories were among the wealthiest and most powerful in the world. Some of those people had already threatened Virginia to try to keep her quiet" (Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Nobody's Girl, Knopf, 2025).

References in the Epstein Archive#

Epstein's Direct Discussions About Giuffre

The Epstein email archive reveals how Epstein and his associates discussed Giuffre and her legal actions. In a January 16, 2015 email to journalist Michael Wolff with the subject line "thoughts", Epstein drafted an extensive set of talking points defending himself against Giuffre's allegations. He wrote that a former girlfriend could "confirm" his innocence: "She never saw anything that Virginia claims." Epstein characterized "Doe 1 and 2" as "local strippers, that would call all the time asking if they could do massages." He claimed this girlfriend "knows Clinton was never on the island" and "knows no sex with Steven Hawking" or with "Ehud" (former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak). Epstein sent virtually identical talking points to Landon Thomas Jr., a New York Times financial reporter, on the same day.

Thomas's response was revealing. He told Epstein that "the big issue is separating yourself from Andrew" and that Prince Andrew — "not Clinton and the rest" — was "keeping the story alive." Thomas asked: "Does franc drama worry you? Am writing on it now..."

Coordination with Dershowitz

A February 2015 email shows Epstein directly coordinating with Alan Dershowitz regarding Giuffre. Epstein wrote: "did dershowtz contact you re the virgina police reports. he wanted to know, as they were when she was a juvenile would it be ok to release??". The recipient, William Riley, responded that "we asked for a retainer and have never heard from him or his attorney since." This exchange demonstrates that Epstein and Dershowitz were actively working to obtain Giuffre's juvenile records — potentially for use in discrediting her publicly.

Response to the Defamation Lawsuit

On September 21, 2015, the day Giuffre filed her defamation lawsuit against Maxwell, an email was sent to Epstein: "Please Call Ghislaine... Virginia has just filed suit against her in NY... she wants to speak with you...". This confirms that Maxwell immediately turned to Epstein for guidance when the lawsuit was filed, consistent with the complaint's allegation that "Maxwell made her statements to discredit Giuffre in close consultation with Epstein."

Deutsche Bank Financial Context

The archive also captures institutional awareness of the legal risks surrounding Epstein. A March 2018 email from Deutsche Bank personnel marked "Brad, urgent call re Jeffrey Epstein?" led to a discussion of Epstein's $230 million in assets under management at the bank, including $81.3 million in deposits. This financial activity was occurring as Giuffre's litigation continued to generate public attention, and Deutsche Bank would later pay a $150 million fine for its role in failing to detect suspicious activity in Epstein's accounts.

Impact and Advocacy#

Victims Refuse Silence

On December 23, 2014, Giuffre incorporated Victims Refuse Silence, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit organization. As described in her defamation complaint, the organization was intended "to change and improve the fight against sexual abuse and human trafficking" and to "help survivors surmount the shame, silence, and intimidation typically experienced by victims of sexual abuse."

Effect on Subsequent Prosecutions

Giuffre's sustained public advocacy was pivotal in keeping the Epstein case in public view during the years when the Non-Prosecution Agreement had seemingly foreclosed accountability. Her testimony before the FBI in 2011, her legal filings beginning in 2009, and the discovery produced in her lawsuits created a documentary record that prosecutors later relied upon. The Maxwell prosecution memorandum explicitly built on evidence produced through Giuffre-initiated litigation to bring additional charges.

Memoir: Nobody's Girl (2025)

In 2025, Giuffre published Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, ISBN 978-0-593-49313-7), her first-person account of her recruitment, abuse, escape, and legal battles. The memoir provides extensive first-hand documentation of the threats and intimidation campaign described above and serves as a primary historical source for understanding the survivor experience within the Epstein case.

Legislative and Cultural Impact

Giuffre's advocacy contributed to broader public awareness of sex trafficking and the failures of the justice system to protect victims. Her case became a touchstone for discussions of prosecutorial misconduct, the inadequacy of the CVRA protections, and the ability of wealthy defendants to evade accountability through aggressive legal tactics and victim intimidation. The New York Child Victims Act, under which she filed her lawsuit against Prince Andrew, was itself partly motivated by cases like hers.
