In a chilling phone call from London in March 2001, a trembling 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre confided in her then-boyfriend Tony Figueroa just hours after her alleged first sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor: “I didn’t want to do it,” she sobbed, her voice shaking with terror as she feared for her life, even whispering about the possibility of ending up “killed like Diana.T

In a bombshell interview published in October 2025, Tony Figueroa, Virginia Giuffre’s former boyfriend from 2001, has broken years of relative silence to recount a distressing phone call he received from the then-17-year-old just hours after her alleged first sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The infamous 2001 photograph of a young Giuffre with Andrew’s arm around her waist, Ghislaine Maxwell in the background, taken at Maxwell’s London townhouse:

Figueroa, now 43, described Giuffre’s voice as “shaking the whole time.” She confided that she “didn’t want to do it” but felt powerless, saying, “What can I do? He’s a prince—one of the richest, most powerful families in the world.” The couple even discussed fears that “something would happen to her,” invoking Princess Diana’s death as an example of what powerful figures could orchestrate.

This revelation comes months after Giuffre’s tragic suicide in April 2025 and the release of her posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, which details the alleged trafficking to Andrew three times. Figueroa, who was with Giuffre when she developed the iconic photo at a Florida kiosk, dismissed Andrew’s past suggestions it was fake.

Figueroa believes Andrew contributed to Giuffre’s lifelong trauma, stating the encounters left her “most scared.” He was unsurprised by Andrew’s 2019 Newsnight interview, calling entitled elites “all the same.” Andrew settled with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability and has always denied wrongdoing.

As Epstein files continue to emerge—including emails confirming the photo’s authenticity—Figueroa’s testimony adds a raw, contemporaneous layer to Giuffre’s story. It underscores the terror victims faced, trapped by power and privilege, and amplifies calls for full accountability in Epstein’s network.
