The family of Virginia Giuffre reacted with outrage last night at Ghislaine Maxwell's 'whitewash' prison interview, saying it gave her a chance to 'rewrite history'.

Mother-of-three Ms Giuffre, who claimed she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein and trafficked three times to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17, committed suicide in April.

Bombshell audio tapes of convicted sex trafficker Maxwell's interview with US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were released on Friday. In them, Maxwell defends the Duke of York, saying he is innocent of the sex allegations against him and accusing Ms Giuffre of making up the story for financial gain. Andrew has always vehemently denied the claims.

In a statement, Ms Giuffre's family said: 'We are outraged. During Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history.

'This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security and lives on the line to ensure her conviction.'
