(39,481 posts)It seems Giuffre didn't know Chump much at all, at least not during the 2 years that she "worked" for Epstein. By 2005 she escaped to Australia and lived in relative seclusion with her new husband Robert Giuffre. Because of that she probably never saw Chump on TV in the US.
Investigators spoke to Giuffre while preparing for Epstein's trial around 2007 or 08. She was shown photos of Chump and asked whether she ever saw "this man" at Epstein's house, or on the Lolita Express airplane, and Giuffre wasn't sure who he was. She said she'd never seen him on the airplane or at Epstein's house. This isn't the answer that Virginia would have given if she'd been raped or otherwise abused by Chump.
I haven't read her book yet, but I plan to get into it very soon.
