LONDON – Chilling new details of the sex trafficking operation run by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have come to light with the imminent publication of a posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, the convicted sex offender’s most prominent accuser. Giuffre, who tragically took her own life nearly six months ago, reveals in her book, Nobody’s Girl, that she lived in terror, believing she might “die a sex slave” at the hands of the powerful and abusive network.
The BBC obtained a full copy of the memoir, set for release on Tuesday, which provides a harrowing account of the sadistic abuse and fear Giuffre endured while being trafficked to “scores of wealthy, powerful people.” She describes being subjected to painful sadomasochistic sex with Epstein, detailing moments she “prayed I would black out.”
The memoir places renewed and intense scrutiny on Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who recently announced he would voluntarily relinquish his royal titles and Order of the Garter membership, even as he “vigorously den[ied] the accusations against me.”
Nobody’s Girl, co-written with ghostwriter Amy Wallace, details three alleged sexual encounters with the prince, a claim Andrew has consistently denied.
First Meeting: Giuffre recounts meeting Prince Andrew in March 2001, when she was 17. Maxwell allegedly woke her up, telling her she was going to meet a “handsome prince.” She claims Andrew correctly guessed her age, saying his daughters were “just a little younger than you.”
London Encounter: That night, following a visit to London’s Tramp nightclub, Giuffre writes that Maxwell instructed her, “When we get home, you are to do for him what you do for Jeffrey.” Giuffre claims they had sex, saying he was “entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” She says Epstein later gave her $15,000 for “servicing” the prince.
She alleges a third encounter took place on Epstein’s private island as part of what she termed “an orgy,” involving Epstein, Andrew, and “approximately eight other young girls” who appeared to be under 18 and did not speak English. Giuffre also addresses the 2022 out-of-court financial settlement she reached with Prince Andrew in her civil case against him. She writes that she agreed to a “one-year gag order,” which she believed was important to the prince to ensure his mother’s Platinum Jubilee was not further “tarnished.”
The book’s scope extends beyond the royal scandal, detailing the sinister requirements of the trafficking operation, including that the girls were required to look “childlike.” Giuffre wrote that in her time with Epstein and Maxwell, she was “habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied.”
In a separate development, the Metropolitan Police on Sunday confirmed they are “actively” looking into media reports alleging Prince Andrew asked his personal police protection officer to investigate Ms Giuffre just before a key photo of them was published in 2011.
Royal sources stated there are currently no plans to remove the “Prince” title Andrew was born with, noting the headlines are “taking a lot of oxygen out of the royal room,” diverting attention from King Charles’s engagements. Buckingham Palace has offered no comment on the memoir’s claims.
