Born and raised primarily in Florida, Giuffre experienced childhood abuse that led to periods of homelessness as a teenager. While attempting to rebuild her life, she encountered Ghislaine Maxwell, who groomed her for abuse by Epstein from 1999 to 2002, according to Giuffre’s accounts. She also alleged that Epstein trafficked her to powerful figures, including Prince Andrew and French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel.
