How old was Virginia Giuffre when she began to work as a salon attendant in Mar a Lago?

She moved to Florida when she was 14, and her father was working at Mar a Lago.

So when did she get her job? It's not one of the occupations a 15 year old could legally be employed in.

"If an occupation is not specifically permitted, it is prohibited for youth ages 14 and 15."

3. Believe she was 16. For sure was 16 when Maxwell recruited her and I don't think she'd been there very long

Even if not, I doubt we'll find any authorities eager to pursue a case against a Trump company for violating labor laws 24 years ago.

4. If they had hired a 15 year old Virginia, they could have illegally hired many others over the years. nt

She began by working the front desk. If that’s the case, it would fall under clerical/office. But who knows.
