The woman who has said she was sexually trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to his erstwhile pal Prince Andrew, continues to accuse the royal, this time on NBC News.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 35, an American who has been living in Australia, was among six women interviewed by Savannah Guthrie for a Dateline special that aired Friday evening.
"(Andrew) denies that it ever happened, he’s going to keep denying that it ever happened, but he knows the truth and I know the truth," Giuffre said during the interview.
She continued: "When you are abused, you know your abuser. I might not have my dates right, I might not have my times right… but I know their faces and I know what they’ve done to me."

The six women say they were sexually abused and trafficked, some when they were teens, by Epstein, the convicted sex offender and multimillionaire financier who died by suicide last month in federal custody while awaiting trial on new charges.
Now that he's dead, they're going public with their stories as federal prosecutors try to unravel Epstein's alleged crimes and pursue his known associates who may have been involved. Some of Epstein's accusers also are suing his estate.
Giuffre, then known as Virginia Roberts, has been in the headlines, especially in Britain, since early 2015, when she alleged in a civil lawsuit that she was Epstein's "sex slave" and that Epstein compelled her to have sex with his rich and famous friends, including politicians, business leaders and academics. One of them, she claims, was Queen Elizabeth II's second son, in an encounter she says took place in London in 2001 when she was 17.
On Friday, she told NBC that her first encounter with Andrew took place at the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's alleged "recruiter" of teen girls to sexually service Epstein and his powerful friends,
“Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and said, ‘You’re gonna meet a prince today.’ I didn’t know at that point that I was going to be trafficked to that prince,” Giuffre said.

Later, after a trip to a club where she said she was served vodka and danced with the prince, she said Maxwell told her Andrew was coming back to the house and that she was expected to "do for him what you do for Epstein. I couldn’t believe it.”
A picture of Andrew with his arm around Giuffre and Maxwell in the background was taken at the house and has been around the internet for years.
After sex in a bathroom and in a bedroom, she said, Andrew left the house.
“He wasn’t rude or anything about it. He said, ‘Thank you,’ and some kind of soft sentiments like that and left,” Giuffre told NBC. “I just couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that even royalty were involved” in Epstein's alleged network.
She continued: "He was a Prince, he was famous. He’s royalty. And it just stuck out in my mind. I grew up watching Disney just like most little girls… and princesses and princes were the good people in the world, and he wasn’t."
