In a stark and moving narrative, Virginia Giuffre provided a chilling account of her alleged trafficking and abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates before her passing in April. Her story surfaces in her memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, which was released on October 21.

Giuffre’s memoir recounts her teenage years when she first encountered Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. In the book, she expressed her fear, writing, “I thought I would die a sex slave.”

According to an advance copy of the memoir acquired by the BBC, Giuffre wrote, “During my years with them, I was loaned out to numerous influential and affluent individuals. I endured constant exploitation and degradation, and at times, I was choked, beaten, and left bloodied.”

How Did Virginia Giuffre Meet Jeffrey Epstein? 

The Guardian published excerpts revealing her first meeting with Maxwell at the Mar-a-Lago spa in Palm Beach, Florida. Giuffre, who was nearly 17 at the time, described how Maxwell noticed her interest in massage therapy. Maxwell then proposed she meet a “wealthy” friend, who was supposedly in need of a traveling massage therapist.

Giuffre—who was just shy of her 17th birthday at the time—said Maxwell took note of her interest in massage therapy and suggested she come by to meet her “wealthy” friend who was looking for a traveling massage therapist.

After arriving at the sprawling two-story mansion, Giuffre described being led to an upstairs room where Epstein, then 47, was waiting naked on a massage table. She alleged Maxwell began giving her basic instruction about how to perform a message, before she began to engage in sexual activity with Epstein and encouraged Giuffre to do the same.

“How many times had I put my faith in someone, only to be hurt and humiliated?” Giuffre wrote of the alleged encounter. “I could feel my brain begin to shut down. My body couldn’t escape from this room, but my mind couldn’t bear to stay, so it put me on a kind of autopilot: submissive and determined to survive.”

Virginia Giuffre Outlines Allegations Against Prince Andrew

Giuffre—who claimed that she was “trafficked to a multitude of powerful men” during her years under Epstein’s control—also wrote that she was coerced into having sex with Prince Andrew, beginning when she was 17 years old. 

Giuffre wrote that she was traveling in England with Maxwell and Epstein—who died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges—when Maxwell woke her up one morning and told her that “just like Cinderella” she’d soon be meeting a “handsome prince.”

Later that day, she met Prince Andrew and Maxwell, Giuffre wrote, asked the royal to guess her age. He “guessed correctly” that she was 17, then she wrote that he told her, “My daughters are just a little younger than you.”

After hitting a London nightclub, Giuffre wrote that Maxwell instructed her, “When we get home, you are to do for him what you do for Jeffrey.” She wrote that she had sex with Prince Andrew that night.

“Back at the house, Maxwell and Epstein said goodnight and headed upstairs, signaling it was time that I take care of the prince. In the years since, I’ve thought a lot about how he behaved,” she wrote, according to People. “He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” 

Giuffre detailed two other occasions where she allegedly had sex with Prince Andrew: once in Epstein’s New York townhouse and another time on Epstein’s island which she described as “an orgy” with other girls. 

Prince Andrew, who has publicly denied her claims, reached an out-of-court civil court settlement with Giuffre in 2022.

“Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights,” a court document noted at the time. “Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre’s character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks.”

Prince Andrew announced in a statement dated Oct. 17 that he would not use his title and honors given him to by the crown in the midst of the “continued accusations” against him.

Although he did not mention any specific allegations by name, he added, “As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

Where is Virginia Giuffre Now?

Over the years she was connected to Epstein, Giuffre alleged that she was at the pair’s mercy as they encouraged her to look “childlike” and allegedly trafficked her to other powerful unidentified friends of Epstein.

“Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse for me, they did; Epstein trafficked me to a man who raped me more savagely than anyone had before,” she wrote, according to People, describing him only as a “well-known prime minister” who “wanted violence” and rough sex. 

Giuffre described “tearfully begging” the man to stop and said her concerns were later dismissed by Epstein, who she said told her “You’ll get that sometimes.”.

Maxwell has previously denied Giuffre’s allegations. She was convicted in December 2021 of five counts related to child sex abuse and trafficking.

After the sex trafficking allegations against Epstein and Maxwell emerged, Giuffre became an outspoken victims advocate in the years before her death. 

She died by suicide in April while living in Australia, NBC News reported.
