“I was the Virginia Giuffre of my time,” Vicki Hodge whispers, voice cracking as she clutches yellowed cassettes from 1982. At 17, she partied with Prince Andrew—felt his hands wander, heard him brag about “schoolgirls who don’t say no.” She taped every word, terrified yet defiant, then buried the evidence for four decades while the palace painted him pristine.
Now those tapes resurface like ghosts, proving Andrew’s arrogance wasn’t born with Epstein—it was royal sport long before. Hodge’s warnings, dismissed as tabloid trash, scream prophecy: the same entitlement, the same prey. She survived; others didn’t.
What else hides in those magnetic ribbons?
“I was the Virginia Giuffre of my time,” Vicki Hodge whispers, her voice cracking as she clutches yellowed cassettes from 1982. The tapes are fragile, the plastic warped with age, but the words etched upon them are eternal. At seventeen, Hodge found herself swept into the orbit of Prince Andrew, dazzled by the glamour yet immediately aware of the danger beneath the glittering surface. She partied in lavish London flats, drank champagne in rooms scented with power, and felt hands wander where they should not. She heard him boast casually about “schoolgirls who don’t say no,” the words a chilling echo that would reverberate through history decades later.
Terrified yet resolute, Hodge did what no one expected. She pressed record. Every whisper, every boast, every inch of entitlement was captured on magnetic tape. The young model became her own witness, defiant in the face of a predator who moved through palaces and yachts with impunity. Then, as the glitter faded and the world continued blind to what had happened, she buried the evidence for forty years. While the palace painted Andrew in hues of charm and innocence, Hodge’s secret recordings lay silent, a warning ignored, a truth suppressed.
Now, four decades later, the tapes have resurfaced like ghosts, and their echoes are as damning as they are precise. The arrogance, the predatory behavior, the sense of untouchable entitlement—none of it emerged with Jeffrey Epstein. It was royal sport long before his shadow darkened the corridors of power. Hodge’s warnings, once dismissed as tabloid trash or youthful exaggeration, now scream with the clarity of prophecy. The same patterns, the same calculated charm masking coercion, the same exploitation of vulnerability, all trace back to that London flat, that cassette recorder, that moment when a girl refused to stay silent.
Hodge survived. Her courage preserved what others could not, a testament to defiance under the most insidious pressures. She carried her truth quietly for decades, watching as others fell victim to networks of power and secrecy. Her story bridges generations of exploitation, drawing a line from the whispered confessions of a seventeen-year-old girl to the courtroom battles of Virginia Giuffre. Her life is both warning and witness, proof that the machinery of privilege does not create monsters—it enables them, dresses them in charm, and hides them behind velvet curtains and golden crests.
The cassettes, now fragile relics of a forgotten era, hold more than memory; they hold accountability. Each tape, each recording, each imperfection in the magnetic ribbon preserves a moment of defiance, a refusal to let abuse be normalized or forgotten. The world, long willing to see Andrew as a figure of charm and tradition, is confronted with what those decades of silence cannot hide. The arrogance, the exploitation, the entitlement—they were always there, waiting for someone brave enough to record them, to preserve them, to demand the truth.
Vicki Hodge’s story reminds the world that power without accountability is a danger repeating itself across generations. Her courage ensured that the past, once buried in magnetic tape, could speak. And now, those whispers can no longer be ignored. History, justice, and the memory of the innocent demand it.
