What did Virginia Giuffre specifically allege in court filings about who she was trafficked to?
Executive summary
Virginia Giuffre’s court filings and depositions accused Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of recruiting and trafficking her beginning in her mid-teens, and identified several specific men she said Epstein “trafficked” her to, most prominently Prince Andrew as well as other high‑profile figures named in various filings and unsealed records [1] [2] [3]. Some of those named—Alan Dershowitz, Les Wexner and former Israeli premier Ehud Barak—appear in court papers or subsequent reporting as alleged recipients of sex or as persons Giuffre said she was forced to have contact with, while those individuals have denied the allegations and some claims were later contested or struck in certain proceedings [2] [4] [5] [1].
1. The central allegation: trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to “powerful men”
In multiple civil court filings and depositions Giuffre alleged that Jeffrey Epstein was the trafficker who exploited her sexually and that Ghislaine Maxwell acted as Epstein’s recruiter or “madam,” bringing her into Epstein’s circle and arranging encounters with his associates and clients, whom she described as “powerful men” including royalty [1] [2] [3]. Those core assertions—that Epstein and Maxwell recruited and moved her to provide sex to others—are repeatedly reflected in the court record and in reporting based on unsealed documents [1] [3].
2. Prince Andrew: the most prominent named alleged recipient
Giuffre’s filings explicitly alleged she was forced to have sexual encounters with Prince Andrew in the early 2000s after being trafficked by Epstein, an allegation she included in a 2014 Florida filing and later pursued in a 2021 New York civil complaint against the prince; Giuffre said these encounters began when she was 16 or 17, and Prince Andrew has denied the claims [2] [6] [5]. A federal judge at one point struck certain statements from an earlier proceeding as “immaterial and impertinent,” but Giuffre later filed the New York suit which proceeded until an out‑of‑court settlement in February 2022 [2] [6] [5].
3. Other individuals named in depositions and filings: Dershowitz, Wexner, Barak and more
Court documents and reporting from unsealed materials show Giuffre’s testimony and allegations naming several other prominent men. She alleged sexual encounters or trafficking to Alan Dershowitz in filings that led to litigation over his denials; Dershowitz has vigorously disputed her account and later litigation brought disputed details to public attention [2] [5]. Unsealed deposition excerpts reported in 2024–2025 also contain allegations she was trafficked to Les Wexner “between three and ten times,” an assertion Wexner’s representatives denied [4]. Reporting and filings have additionally referenced claims by Giuffre that she was made available to other powerful figures, and at least one filing referenced being sexually assaulted after being trafficked to Ehud Barak—an allegation disclosed in court filings filed in connection with other litigation [2].
4. Legal context, evidentiary rulings and disputes over specificity
Much of Giuffre’s identification of recipients comes from civil complaints, depositions and unsealed documents; however, courts at times deemed certain allegations irrelevant to particular claims, striking language or limiting what could remain in some proceedings, and many named men have issued categorical denials and pursued legal responses [1] [2] [5]. Journalistic accounts and newly released document batches characterize Giuffre as among the most prominent accusers who said Epstein “provided” girls to others, but these sources also make clear that names, counts and the legal weight of individual allegations varied across filings and over time [3] [6].
5. What the public record shows — and what it does not
The public court record shows Giuffre repeatedly stating she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and naming specific men she said she was forced to have sex with—most concretely Prince Andrew, and in various filings or depositions Alan Dershowitz, Les Wexner and others have been implicated in different ways—but those accusations exist alongside denials, contested testimony, redactions and the procedural reality that some claims were struck from specific cases or settled out of court, leaving gaps that the available documents and reporting do not uniformly resolve [1] [2] [4] [5] [3].
