Jeffrey Epstein’s victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre claims that billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin was the first person Ghislaine Maxwell directed to have sex — and also claims she had a sexual encounter with Hyatt Hotels heir Thomas Pritzker, according to newly unsealed court records .
Giuffre testified that Maxwell told him to give Dubin, co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management, an erotic message, which he said was a euphemism for sex, according to a 2016 deposition filed late Wednesday.
“When they say massage, it means erotic, okay? That’s their term for it,” Giuffre said. “And I told you that Ghislaine told me to go to Glenn Dubin and give him a massage, which means sex.”
Giuffre added that Dubin was the first person Maxwell allegedly sent her to after she finished her training as a masseuse and began working for Epstein.
“I know Glenn Dubin is the first,” he said in a deposition.
In a separate deposition given by Giuffre, she claimed to have had sex with Pritzker, the billionaire executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels and cousin of Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Giuffre told Maxwell’s defense attorneys under oath that she believed she had been “with Tom once,” referring to a sexual encounter. She did not suggest that she had been instructed by Maxwell to have sex with the hotelier.
Later in the same deposition, Giuffre talked about Maxwell allegedly sending him to have sex with “the owner of a large hotel chain” in France, but he did not name the person.
A spokesman for Pritzker, now 73, said the married businessman “continues to vehemently deny” the allegations.

Pritzker is also the cousin of Penny Pritzker, a billionaire businessman who served as secretary of commerce under President Barack Obama, and who has led the Harvard Corporation since February 2022 and recently faced heat over the plagiarism scandal of recently resigned president Claudine Gay and response to antisemitism at elite universities.
The names of Thomas Pritzker and Dubin, as well as Dubin’s wife, Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, appeared among hundreds of pages of court documents released Wednesday afternoon.
Andersson-Dubin, a doctor and former Miss Sweden, said she dated Epstein in the 1980s and ’90s, before she married Dubin.
Dubin and Andersson-Dubin previously denied Giuffre’s claims. Neither has been charged with a crime.
“The Dubins vehemently deny these claims, as we said before [in Vanity Fair] in 2019, when these unsubstantiated statements first surfaced as part of the same civil court proceeding,” a spokesperson for the couple told The Post Thursday.

During Maxwell’s trial in Manhattan in 2021, Andersson-Dubin, named by Epstein’s wife as a personal friend in the deposition, testified in his defense, saying he did not witness any inappropriate activity between Epstein and the minor girl.
Dubin and his wife are prominent New York City philanthropists, best known for establishing the Dubin Breast Cancer Center at Mount Sinai Health System. Dubin also helped start the Robin Hood Foundation to fight poverty.
The newly filed unredacted records — ordered released last month by Manhattan federal Judge Lorreta Preska — are part of a defamation lawsuit Giuffre brought against Maxwell in 2015 and settled two years later.

The first 40 documents, out of 250 set to be released in the coming days, contain the names of more than 170 of Epstein’s associates, among them former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew.
Giuffre claims that she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by the disgraced British royal at Maxwell’s home when she was just 17 years old. He settled a civil suit with her last year.
Giuffre also claimed in the disclosure that she was pressured by Maxwell to have sex with other powerful men in Epstein’s social circle.
Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence on conspiracy and sex-trafficking charges stemming from her role as mistress to Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019.
