London (CNN) - Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of several women who accused the late financier Jeffrey Epstein of sexual crimes, has revealed new details of her alleged sexual abuse by Prince Andrew of Great Britain.
Giuffre told NBC's "Dateline" that she was forced to perform sexual acts with Andres when she was 17, after the British royalty member gave her vodka at a London nightclub.
Giuffre said the incident took place at the home of Ghislaine Maxwell, a British woman accused of helping Epstein.
"The first time in London, I was so young that Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and told me 'today you will meet a prince,'" he told NBC.
"I didn't know at the time that I was going to be trafficked to that prince," he said, adding that Andres gave him his vodka that night while they were celebrating at the Tramp Club in London.
Giuffre has previously claimed that she was forced to perform sexual acts with Andres and other famous men. Everyone has denied the accusations.

Court documents show that Giuffre accused Epstein of keeping her as a teenage “sex slave”. Epstein, 66, died of suicide in jail in August awaiting trial on charges of sexual abuse of underage girls.
Andrew, the third son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, has repeatedly rejected all accusations made against him in relation to the Epstein case.
In response to Friday's accusation, Buckingham Palace told CNN that it had nothing to add to its previous statement: “It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of contact or sexual relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any statement to the contrary is false and without foundation. ”
In another statement published last month, Andres said he met Epstein in 1999 and that "he saw him infrequently and probably no more than once or twice a year." Andrés also said he stayed in "several of his residences (of Epstein)."
But Andres added that it was a “mistake” to see Epstein in 2010, two years after the financier pleaded guilty for the first time to sexual crimes.
Giuffre alleged in the NBC interview that after leaving the club in London, Maxwell told him on a car trip with Epstein that Andres "will return home and I want you to do for him what you do for Epstein."

According to Giuffre, "the abuse moved from the bathroom to a room" of Maxwell's house.
"He wasn't rude or anything like that, he said thanks and some kind of soft feelings like that and he left," he said. "I just couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe that even royalty was involved."
Giuffre said she was abused by Prince Andrew twice more: once at Epstein's mansion in New York and again at her estate in the Virgin Islands.
"He denies that it has happened and will continue to deny that it has happened, but he knows the truth and I know the truth," he said.
