Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has accused Britains Prince Andrew of raping her three times at the behest of Jeffrey Epstein when she was a minor, told her story to NBC in an interview set to air Friday.

He was an abuser. He was a participant, Giuffre, now in her mid-30s, told NBC News Savannah Guthrie in a segment broadcast on the Today show. A longer version of the interview airs later on Friday on Dateline NBC.

Giuffre claimed in a 2015 lawsuit that she was recruited to have sex with Epstein and his friends, including Prince Andrew, by the financiers alleged madame, Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell allegedly enlisted Giuffre when she was 15, when she was working at President Donald Trump s Mar-a-Lago resort.

Giuffre has previously alleged that Prince Andrew was among the men Epstein forced her into sex with during his around-the-world abuse trips. Her NBC interview, however, is her first since Andrews statement in August repeating his vehement denial of her allegations.

That first time in London, I was so young. Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and she said, Youre going to meet a prince today. I didnt know at that point that I was going to be trafficked to that prince, Giuffre told NBC.

Ghislaine said, Hes coming back to the house. And I want you to do for him [Prince Andrew] what you do for Epstein, Giuffre added. I couldnt believe it. I couldnt believe that even royalty was involved.

Prince Andrew has steadfastly denied the rape allegations since Giuffre first came forward years ago.
