What was revealed on Panorama tonight?
Speaking on BBC Panorama, Ms Giuffre, who was previously Miss Roberts, said she was trafficked for sex by US billionaire Epstein and ordered to have sex with Prince Andrew at the age of 17.
Ms Roberts, now 35, says she was trafficked for sex by US billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his Brit socialite ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
She alleges she was forced to sleep with the Duke of York in London, New York and the US Virgin Islands as a 17-year-old in 2001.
"Ghislane tells me I have to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey and that made me sick."
"I just didn't expect it from royalty. I didn't expect it from someone people look up to and admire.
"It was disgusting. He got up and said thanks and walked out and I sat there in bed, I felt horrified and ashamed and dirty.
"The next day Ghislane pats me on the back and said 'you made him really happy'.
"I had just been abused by a member of the Royal Family.
"I hadn't been chained to a kitchen sink but these powerful people were my chains."
This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked, this is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys' royalty.

She told Panorama "I implore the people in the UK to stand up beside me, to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being OK.
"This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked, This is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys' royalty.
Repeating her claims tonight, Ms Roberts said: "He asked me to dance. He is the most hideous dancer I've ever seen in my life.
"It was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me, like his sweat was like it was raining basically everywhere.
"I was just like grossed out from it, but I knew I had to keep him happy because that's what Jeffrey and Ghislaine would have expected from me."
Ms Roberts also told the Panorama documentary her time with Epstein was "really scary".
She said: "I implore the people in the UK to stand up beside me, to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being OK.
"This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked. This is a story of abuse and this is a story of your guys' royalty."

And she said of Andrew's denials: "The people on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses.
"Like his arm was elongated or the photo was doctored, or uh he came to New York to break up with Jeffrey Epstein.
"I mean come on, I'm calling BS on this, because that's what it is."He knows what happened, I know what happened.
"And there's only one of us telling the truth."
