I agree with Clifford.  I have not read Victoria Guffre’s book but have followed the media reports closely ever since this story hit the headlines 10+ years ago.  For what it’s worth - I think that Andrew did have sex with Guffre and he was stupid to deny it.  She was 17 when it allegedly happened and she was over the legal age of consent here and in most US States.  He may or may not have known her age and imo she looked older and he may have thought so too?  Was she coerced into having sex with him?  She certainly doesn’t looked upset or traumatised to be with him (or Epstein) in the attached photo. I haven’t read Victoria Guffre’s book but this is what I have found with regard to it:“Jeffrey Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, in her own words”By Tracy SmithOctober 19, 2025 / 9:21 AM EDT / CBS NewsCo-author and journalist Amy Wallace spent more than four years writing with Giuffre, who was celebrated for her honesty – and questioned, by some, about the accuracy of her memories. Wallace said, "What she always said to me was, 'I may not remember days, times, dates. But when you have a man raping you, his face six inches from your own, you remember that face.'"Giuffre also believed there might be a trove of videotapes from cameras in Epstein's homes. And in recent months, there's been mounting pressure from people who want the president to authorize the release of all of the Epstein Files. Virginia Giuffre was one of them.  Asked whether Giuffre had mentioned Donald Trump in their discussions, Wallace replied, "Oh, she absolutely did. She was a huge Trump fan because he campaigned on releasing the Epstein Files.""But she never talked about him in any sense that he was involved in any of this?""No, no," said Wallace. "He was not, as far as she knew. And again, she was there for two-plus years, but as far as she knew, he was not involved in the ring of trafficking that Epstein was working.”Andrew’s behaviour and integrity is extremely questionable but most importantly this book exonerates Trump from being part of Epstein’s paedo ring. Unfortunately Amy Wallace died in 2013 so cannot be subpoenaed to give evidence. I await the inevitable backlash …
