Video Transcript AI Summary
Virginia Dufres, who co‑wrote Nobody’s Girl with journalist Amy Wallace, describes a traumatic life of abuse and trafficking linked to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, culminating in her suicide six months before this interview. The conversation discusses graphic sexual abuse in detail.
Dufres’s account includes the first trip to meet Prince Andrew at Maxwell’s London home. Maxwell woke her, telling her it would be an amazing day, and Virginia was told she would meet a prince. Maxwell helped her with a passport and took her shopping; they dined, danced at Tramp’s nightclub, and returned with Virginia not in the prince’s car. Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein’s associates then told her: “you now must do for him what you do for us,” directing her to sexually service Prince Andrew. The prince denies any sexual contact and has said he has no recollection of ever meeting her.
Virginia’s third encounter with Andrew involved Epstein and eight other young girls. The eight girls were reportedly supplied by Jean-Luc Brunel, a Paris modeling agent who was a close associate of Epstein, flown in to Little Saint James, Epstein’s private island. The girls did not speak English except Virginia. Virginia was told these girls had been procured by Brunel. Virginia was part of this group for an orgy, with Epstein’s fascination by sadomasochism noted by the interviewers.
Virginia’s experiences included severe abuse: she was hogtied and made to crawl on the floor. While the book catalogs this pain, it also portrays Virginia as a woman who built a life after escaping, becoming a mother, and eventually deciding to come forward publicly to hold her abusers to account. She asserted that more than a dozen men, beyond Prince Andrew, trafficked her and others she knew through Epstein and Maxwell.
When asked why Virginia did not name all the men in the book, Amy Wallace explains that abuse victims must weigh the costs of coming forward—privacy, safety, and the emotional toll of repeated depositions—against the goal of accountability. She notes that in the case of a former minister Virginia mentions, she feared being harmed or killed; others had threatened her with prolonged court battles if she spoke out.
The interview also covers Donald Trump, whom Virginia had met at Mar-a-Lago when she was a teenager; Trump was described as kind to her in those days. Virginia had met him again during his 2016 campaign, when he pledged to release Epstein files, though specifics are not detailed here.
Regarding Prince Andrew, the discussion notes his forced decision to relinquish his Duke of York title and related honors, while he still retains the titles officially. Wallace emphasizes that Virginia would view the move as a victory and a step toward accountability, though she notes Andrew’s earlier offers to aid investigators, which did not materialize.
Maxwell is described as a master procurer, not merely a receptionist. The idea that she should be pardoned is rejected; Maxwell is portrayed as having targeted vulnerable girls outside private schools.
Virginia Dufres’s suicide earlier in the year is acknowledged; Amy Wallace expresses sorrow and honor in speaking for her, asserting that Virginia’s book aimed to help others and to insist that powerful people cannot mistreat others with impunity. The book’s publication is framed as Virginia’s effort to galvanize accountability and change. The book is titled Nobody’s Girl. Prince Andrew, who reached a financial settlement with Virginia in 2022, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

Speaker 0: In the book, she talks about a traumatic ectopic pregnancy around the age of 18 and horrific sadomasochism by Epstein, which caused her so much pain she prayed she would pass out. The descriptions of the abuse by other connected wealthy associates of Epstein is searing. Virginia Dufres took her own life six months ago. She co wrote this book with journalist Amy Wallace. This is her first UK broadcast interview, and we discuss graphic sexual abuse, just to let you know.
Miss Wallace described the first time Virginia Dufres says she was trafficked to have sex with prince Andrew at Ghislain Maxwell's house in London.
Speaker 1: Yes. She describes it in the book in great detail. Ghislain Maxwell woke her up that day saying, get out of bed sleepyhead. And the whole idea was we're going to have an amazing day. She quickly was told that she was going to meet a prince.
This was a young woman who, as a tiny child, had loved the movie Cinderella. And the idea of meeting a prince was exciting to her. And so they Ghislain took her shopping. And she put on these this outfit and went and met prince Andrew. It was in Ghislain's home, and they had flown it was her it was Virginia's first time in London.
It was her first time abroad. Ghislain had helped her fill out her passport application. And they they went to a meal. They went to Tramp's nightclub where they danced together, Virginia and and the prince. And then when they came home on the ride home, they were not in the same car as the prince himself.
He was with his detail, his security detail. And Ghislain and Jeffrey told her, you now must do for him what you do for us. So when they got home, Ghislain and Geoffrey excused themselves and basically sent her off to sexually service prince Andrew.
Speaker 0: And he denies any sexual contact. He has said he has no recollection of ever meeting her. The third time she says she was forced to have sex with him involved prince Andrew, Epstein, and eight other young girls.
Speaker 1: Yes. The eight other young girls, she was told, were supplied. This was this was on the island, the private island that Jeffrey owned. It was called Little Saint James. Jeffrey called it Little Saint Jeff's.
And the young girls did not speak English other than Virginia. And Virginia was told that they had been procured by Jean Luc Brunel, was a modeling agent in Paris, who was a close associate of Epstein. And he had flown these young women in. There was some joking about how these are the easiest females to deal with the ones who can't speak English. And yes, Virginia was a part of that orgy.
Speaker 0: According to the book, Epstein had become fascinated by sadomasochism, And this was to cause great physical pain to Virginia Dufres, wasn't it?
Speaker 1: Yes. It was horrible. She was basically hogtied. She was made to crawl across the floor, etcetera. And again, you know, I I I think what this book does is it it catalogs some of those most painful and awful experiences that she had, But it also attempts to show Virginia as a woman in full.
You know, she she had some very, very terrible abusive experiences in her young life. And then she escaped and she became a mom. Then once she had her third child, a daughter, she realized I don't want I know I'm not the mother of a of a female child. I'm realizing I'm sending her out into the world where she could experience much anything like I had. And so I need to do something.
And at that point, she decides I'm going to come forward publicly and try to hold my abusers to account. You know, this isn't just about Prince Andrew. There's more than a dozen, if not dozens, of men out there who Epstein whom Virginia knew Epstein and Maxwell together had trafficked Virginia too.
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's not just about prince Andrew.
Speaker 0: Absolutely. And there is one I mean, all the accounts are distressing, but there's one particularly distressing testimony where she says a former minister she describes him as a former minister, She says raped her on Epstein's island and choked her till she lost consciousness. Why hasn't Virginia Dufres named all of these men in the book that she accuses of abusing her?
Speaker 1: Well, she's pretty clear about this in the last section of the book. You know, any person who has been abused, forced to have sex against their will with someone they don't want to have sex with, makes this choice. They have to weigh, you know, the cost of coming forward, which I can delineate, but any normal person can figure out. The cost of your privacy, the cost of your safety if the person is is dangerous, the the time and anguish you have to spend and endure when you have to re relate again and again in depositions what happens. You have to relive the moment.
She's weighing that against what her core goal was, which is to make the world a better place and to hold these people to account and to, in some ways, comment by doing that on the fact that it's not right that people who have money and power get to mistreat people who don't. That's not okay. In the case of the former minister she mentioned She was afraid of him. She was afraid he would hurt her or kill her. There were other men who had threatened her in more genteel ways basically saying take our names out of your mouth or we will keep you in court for the rest of your days.
Speaker 0: And it's important to let our audience know that you know the names of these people because you did the fact checking as you were explaining earlier. Donald Trump is mentioned in this book, and Virginia Dufres is complimentary about him.
Speaker 1: Yes. Well, you know, she'd met him at Mar a Lago. Mar a Lago is the spa and hotel and club that he owns in Florida, And Virginia was working there as a towel girl making $9 an hour in the spa when Ghislaine Maxwell strolled in and procured her, sort of deceived her into coming to Jeffrey Epstein's house. And so we can talk about that if you want to. But but she had met Trump, and he was kind to her in those early days when she was 16, 15 and 16, I believe.
She may have met him even when she was younger because her father worked there. And then right before, we closed the book in October, I was in Australia with her, and the presidential election was about to happen. And he was running yet again for president. And he had campaigned on the plank, in part, he was gonna release the Epstein files.
Speaker 0: How could the information, the names in the files help survivors of Epstein and Maxwell?
Speaker 1: Well, for one thing, it could stop putting the impetus on the survivors on Virginia's book on me to name the names. Why should the survivors who have bravely come forward and name the names to law enforcement have to keep on pushing it? Law enforcement should take over.
Speaker 0: On Friday, Prince Andrew was forced to announce he was voluntarily giving up his Duke of York title and some other titles. He still retains them officially. He just won't be using them. What do you think of that?
Speaker 1: I can speak for Virginia. I I know that she would view it as a victory, that he was forced and by whatever means to voluntarily give them up. For many, maybe particularly in The United States, but maybe even in The UK, it's a symbolic gesture, but it's an important one. It's made history, modern history in terms of the royal era. I mean, it's I've never heard of such a thing happening.
And it also it's just a step in the right direction. You know, Virginia wanted all the men who she'd been trafficked to against her will to be held to account. And this is just one of the men but he is being forced to even though he continues to deny it his life is being eroded because of his past behavior as it should be. You know, the other thing about Prince Andrew that always kind of lingers in my mind is that there was a period where he indicated that he was willing to help investigators in The United States as they tried to to do their due diligence. But he was never available for some reason to do that.
He he said he would, but he never did. And that's something he could still do. He could say as he has repeatedly I still deny that I was involved even though I settled with her when she sued me. I still deny that I did anything wrong. However, I was in these houses and I was on that island and I was on the jet and I saw things and I I know how much these women have suffered and I would like to share what I saw.
Remember, these jets, they weren't just private. They had been remodeled in order to afford many bedrooms. They were designed as flying trafficking agents. They were there to use girls in and Prince Andrew was on what at least one of those jets that I know of if not more. He saw things and he could come forward about those things.
Speaker 0: And he should do that now, do you believe?
Speaker 1: Well, he has to take sort of the measure of his own moral compass. He said in his in his settlement with Virginia that he now acknowledges the pain that these women and young girls had suffered. If you really acknowledge that, if you really feel it, do something about it.
Speaker 0: And he not only acknowledged it, he also pledged in that statement when he settled with Virginia Dufres that he would support the fight against the evil of sex trafficking, and he would support victims.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Have you seen anything he's done that has done that? I haven't.
Speaker 0: The book details the sexual abuse Virginia says Ghislain Maxwell subjected her and others too. And some think that Maxwell's role was only about procuring girls for Epstein and his friends.
Speaker 1: It has mystified me even after she's been convicted of hurting girls and women that somehow the narrative has shifted that she was like some sort of receptionist who just kept track of who was gonna come in when and service Jeffrey Epstein. That is completely and patently false.
Speaker 0: And so any suggestion, and there are suggestions of this, that she should be pardoned? What do you make of that?
Speaker 1: Well, she should absolutely not be pardoned. It's it's patently ridiculous. This is a person who is convicted, first of all, in a court of law. This is a woman who used to park herself outside of private schools in New York City to try to intercept young girls coming out of high school. So she was a master procurer.
Speaker 0: Virginia Dufres took her own life earlier this year. She wanted this book to be published. How do you reflect, Amy,
Speaker 1: on the
Speaker 0: fact that she is not here now?
Speaker 1: So I'm sad, and I'm honored to be able to speak at least a little bit in her behalf to stand up for her. She deserved that. You know, she did that she she wrote this book for all of us. She wrote this book to try to help other people, to make the world a better place, And she deserves all credit for whatever role she played enforcing prince Andrew to relinquish a few more of his titles, but she deserves all credit even more than that for being brave enough to stand up to say this isn't right. She was a galvanizer.
She was a hero, And there's too much carping out there still about how, well, I don't know. Maybe she shouldn't be believed or, well, if it was all so hard for these girls, why didn't they just leave? And the answer to that last question is, when you grow up in a world where what you've learned from your own personal experience is that grown men rape young children and they get away with it, you don't necessarily think when you walk out the door of Epstein's mansion in Manhattan and flee that it's gonna be any better out there. For Virginia, it had not been.
Speaker 0: Amy Wallace, thank you very much for talking to Newsnight this evening. We really, really appreciate your time. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Of course. Of course.
Speaker 0: The book is called Nobody's Girl, Prince Andrew, who reached a financial settlement with miss Dufres back in 2022, has repeatedly and vigorously denied any wrongdoing.

Powerful report by @mattfrei on Palestinians being evicted by extremist Israeli settlers #C4News https://t.co/zOMd2j4xaK
Video Transcript AI Summary
The United States has warned Israel about extremist settlers and condemned violence against innocent residents in the occupied territory. The conflict in the West Bank revolves around land ownership, with Palestinian villages alongside illegal Israeli settlements. The settlers pose a greater threat, protected by the army. Palestinian villagers live in fear of being targeted by settlers. Despite threats, some residents refuse to leave their homes. The settlers engage in intimidation tactics, such as cutting electricity and blocking access to villages. In one village, Zenuta, residents are forced to leave and relocate to an area with no proper housing. Palestinians face difficulties obtaining permission to build permanent structures due to Israeli authorities. The Israeli settler authority holds power over Palestinian lives, denying them basic rights.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And the United States has warned Israel to rein in extremist settlers, saying that violence against innocent residents in the occupied territory was totally unacceptable. Well, we've been to 2 villages, 1 evacuated amid threats by settlers, the other was given 24 hours notice to leave, but the residents there decided to stay. Watch. At heart and for so long, this conflict has been about land, this parched land, and who has the right to call it home. The occupied West Bank should be the core of an independent Palestinian state, but it's become a troubled archipelago of warring communities, Palestinian villages and towns side by side with illegal Israeli settlements.
These signs are everywhere, but the greater menace is posed by the Israeli settlers and the army that protects only them. Case in point, we came across these soldiers this morning dealing with a small demonstration. One of the shots that rang out Killed the Palestinian youth. What they're demonstrating against, and what we've come to see, is the alarming rise since October 7th. In the village of Susia, the playground is inhabited only by ghosts.
The Palestinian villagers are afraid to stay out in the open in case the settlers take potshots. So this is your olive oil?
Speaker 1: Yeah, olive oil. Also, this is our zata. That's
Speaker 0: what I love. Nasser invites me into his kitchen. His wife, Sara, has baked fresh bread. The hospitality here is impeccable. And the threats from the Israeli settlers who live less than a kilometer away are unmistakable.
What reason did the settlers give you or the army for leaving? What did they say?
Speaker 1: Nothing. Just come in and say 24 Auras, leave in or we kill you.
Speaker 0: Are you going to leave?
Speaker 1: No. No. We we are assistance. We stay You stay here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 0: One of the reasons they're not leaving is that they've already had to do so once before when his father was thrown out of the village where he was born. But the reason Outside, Nasrat shows me another trick the settlers get up to now.
Speaker 1: You see?
Speaker 0: So the settlers cut the electricity Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. In the village. Yeah. In in in the village, Jabal Bhutom.
Yeah.
Speaker 0: As you can see, the main access from the road to the village has been blocked by these boulders, which have been moved here by the settlers In the middle of the night, just as they block the local well for the village and they cut their electricity lines, they do everything they can to render life In these villages, unlivable. Pure intimidation, illegal under international law, but happy. 10 minutes' drive away, the village of Zenuto. A hive of DIY activity. But here, they're not building.
They're dismantling, packing up to leave for good. In Zenuta, the threat has worked.
Speaker 1: We're going we're going to another, area. It's nearby a checkpoint in the Ramadan area.
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's also area c.
Speaker 0: But do they have a house there?
Speaker 1: Nothing. Only like a field.
Speaker 0: So how will they live?
Speaker 1: God help us.
Speaker 0: And how long have they been here in this place? The main reason why the houses here are so flimsy is that the Palestinian villagers never get the permission from the Israeli authorities to build anything more solid, more permanent. And on this store, we find a bitter irony. So it says here, humanitarian support to Palestinians And risk of forcible transfer in the West Bank and at least a dozen sponsors, including the UK. And guess what?
That's exactly what's happening. Sortsable transfer of people. Like an insult to those packing up their homes and dismantling their dwellings, Straddling the hill next door, the most solid building for miles, the headquarters of the Israeli settler authority in this part of the West Bank. Do you have any rights here?
Speaker 1: We don't have any rights because it's the the ones that responsible for our life, the judge that we are asking them, for I bare mission to build a school, I bare mission to build a home, are the settlers that are aiming to take us away from here.
Speaker 0: But he helps to roll up the family carpets in the house that used to be his, In the village that he grew up calling home,
