Virginia Giuffre’s former boyfriend has revealed chilling details about her state of mind following an alleged encounter with Prince Andrew in London when she was just 17 years old. Tony Figueroa, now 43, told RadarOnline.com that Giuffre called him, terrified, just hours after the purported incident at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home in March 2001.

“I remember that call clearly. She was terrified. Her voice was shaking the whole time,” Figueroa said. “I was also absolutely terrified something would happen to her. We talked about the death of Diana. This man was so powerful, he was literally a prince.”

Giuffre, who tragically died by suicide six months ago at the age of 41, reportedly confided in Figueroa that she “didn’t want to do it” but felt powerless to stop it.

“When she called, she told me, ‘I don’t know what I could have done – what can I do? He’s a prince! This is one of the richest, most powerful families in the world,’” Figueroa explained.

### Epstein Connection

Prince Andrew has long denied any wrongdoing in the allegations but faced severe public scrutiny after his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came to light. Following renewed investigations, Andrew stepped back from royal duties and relinquished his titles.

Emails later surfaced revealing Andrew continued contact with Epstein even after claiming publicly to have severed ties. In these messages, he wrote, “We are in this together” and “hope to play some more soon.”

Figueroa was not surprised by Andrew’s widely criticized 2019 Newsnight interview, calling it a “car-crash” moment.

“Entitled rich people are all the same,” he said, dismissing Andrew’s claims that a photo of him with Giuffre was fake. According to Figueroa, he personally held the photograph after Giuffre had it developed at a one-hour kiosk in Florida.

“She was going through all the pictures and she showed it to me. It was just in there with the rest.”

Despite public outrage, Figueroa doubts that Andrew will ever face real justice.

“Basically, nothing is happening. So he’s not a duke anymore? Wow, is that it? Where is she at right now? Yeah, that’s not any kind of justice,” he lamented.

### Epstein’s Predatory Network

Now working as a restaurant employee in Atlanta, Figueroa described witnessing Giuffre’s heartbreaking transformation from a “bright and bubbly young girl” into a victim caught in Epstein’s predatory network.

He admitted that Epstein once paid him $200 for introducing girls from school — a decision that continues to haunt him.

“I have nightmares. I have a son just a couple of years younger than I was when all this happened,” Figueroa reflected somberly.

Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, *Nobody’s Girl*, details her years of abuse under Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.
