What dates did Virginia Giuffre allege her encounters with Prince Andrew occurred in her court filings?

1. What the court filings say — three encounters, dated to 2001

In her civil action and other court documents made public, Giuffre alleged that she had been trafficked to and sexually abused by Prince Andrew on multiple occasions in 2001, when she was 17; reporting and encyclopedic summaries note she described at least three encounters that year, including one she later said occurred on Little Saint James ^{[1] [2]}.

2. The lawsuit that made the dates public — filed August 2021

Giuffre brought the New York federal suit in August 2021 under New York law; the complaint and accompanying filings set out the timeline in which she says the encounters occurred (the lawsuit was publicly filed in August 2021) ^{[3] [5]}.

3. How media and court papers present the March 2001 reference

Some summaries and background reporting point specifically to an instance in March 2001 that Giuffre has identified in interviews and earlier filings as one of the times she was alleged to have been trafficked to Prince Andrew ^[1]. The Wikipedia summary notes she described an instance in March 2001; contemporaneous court documents and later media reporting repeat that dating in describing her claims ^[1].

4. Where the “three occasions” language comes from

Multiple outlets and the court record characterize Giuffre’s allegations as describing three occasions in 2001: one after visiting a nightclub, another at Epstein’s New York home, and a third alleged to have occurred as part of a group event on Little Saint James — descriptions that derive from her civil and earlier court filings ^[1].

5. Settlement and procedural context — no full trial record of sworn testimony

The case was settled in February 2022 before a jury trial and before the contested deposition was completed; the settlement means there was no public trial record that tested or adjudicated those specific date claims in court ^{[4] [2]}. Reporting notes the settlement occurred weeks before a planned deposition and months after the August 2021 filing ^[4].

6. What reporting does — repetition not adjudication

News organizations such as the BBC, Reuters and The New York Times summarized the allegations as presented in Giuffre’s filings; those outlets report she alleged sexual encounters at age 17 in the early 2000s and specifically in 2001, but their accounts are reporting the plaintiff’s claims as laid out in court documents rather than findings of fact by a judge or jury ^{[2] [6] [4]}.

7. Limitations and what the sources do not provide

Available sources do not provide a verbatim, single filing quote that lists each exact calendar date across all three alleged encounters in the complaint excerpts cited here; reporting and summaries repeatedly point to 2001 and to “three occasions” (including March 2001 in some accounts) but do not publish a consolidated list of exact dates from the sealed or redacted original filings in the material provided ^{[1] [7]}.

8. Competing perspectives and official positions

Prince Andrew has consistently denied the allegations, and the settlement announced in February 2022 did not include an admission of liability; reporting emphasizes that the settlement ended the case without a judicial finding on the factual dispute over the alleged dates and encounters ^{[2] [4] [8]}.

9. Takeaway for readers

Court filings and media summaries consistently identify 2001 — including at least one cited instance in March 2001 — as the year Giuffre alleges her encounters with Prince Andrew occurred and describe three alleged occasions when she was 17; those accounts come from Giuffre’s complaint and associated filings, and the matter was resolved by settlement in February 2022 before a trial could test those allegations in open court ^{[1] [4]}.
