A stunned Anthony Figueroa froze as his phone rang in March 2001, a trembling 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre on the line, her voice shaking with terror hours after allegedly being trafficked to Prince Andrew at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London townhouse.
Figueroa, Giuffre’s then-boyfriend in Palm Beach, recalled the call in his 2016 deposition (unsealed 2019) and 2025 interviews amid her memoir Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025). “She was crying, hysterical,” he testified. “Said Maxwell took her to London, made her dress up, go to a club with a prince. Then back to the house—photo taken, then… she had to do things. She was terrified, said ‘I can’t tell you more, but it was bad.’”
Giuffre, recruited at 16 from Mar-a-Lago, alleged Maxwell instructed her to “do for him what you do for Jeffrey” before Andrew’s assault. Figueroa developed the infamous 2001 photo at Walgreens, confirming the March 13 date stamp. “Her eyes in that picture—wide, scared. She begged me not to tell anyone,” he said.
The call—raw, desperate—marked Giuffre’s first confiding the horrors. Figueroa’s testimony corroborated her timeline, fueling her 2022 Andrew settlement (£12 million, no liability admitted) and 2025 title revocation. Her memoir details the night: “I felt like property—passed to a prince.”
As Epstein Files Transparency Act disclosures concluded December 19, 2025—no bombshells—Figueroa’s stunned memory endures: a boyfriend’s phone ringing with a survivor’s first scream, the nightmare beginning.
