In her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published in October 2025, Virginia Roberts Giuffre reveals a horrifying proposition from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell that pushed her to her breaking point. Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, recounts how the pair—after years of alleged sexual exploitation—asked her to serve as a surrogate, carrying and birthing their child while signing away all parental rights.
The request came in the summer of 2002 on Epstein’s private island, Little St. James. Giuffre, then 19, had endured two years of trafficking and abuse since being recruited at 16 from Mar-a-Lago. Epstein allegedly said, “Jenna [his nickname for her], I want you to have our baby.” Maxwell joined in, promising luxuries: round-the-clock nannies, a paid-for mansion, and a $200,000 monthly allowance. In exchange, Giuffre would relinquish all legal claims to the child and remain available for travel with it.
Giuffre was terrified. “What if the baby were female?” she wrote. “Was the plan for Epstein and Maxwell to have me bring that little girl up until she reached puberty, then hand her over for them to abuse? I wanted no part of it.” This “modern Handmaid’s Tale,” as co-author Amy Wallace described it, evoked fears of perpetuating the cycle of exploitation. It became the catalyst for Giuffre’s escape: she negotiated to attend massage school in Thailand, where she met her future husband and fled.
This revelation amplifies Giuffre’s earlier allegations, first shared in interviews and court documents from as early as 2011. She claimed Epstein and Maxwell groomed her into their trafficking ring, forcing encounters with powerful men, including three with Prince Andrew (denied by him). The surrogate demand underscored their alleged entitlement over her body.
Giuffre’s story began with childhood trauma, making her vulnerable when Maxwell approached her in 2000. Groomed into Epstein’s world of private jets and elite circles, she endured abuse before breaking free. In Australia, she rebuilt her life, raising three children and founding advocacy groups for survivors.
Even in death, Giuffre’s words challenge power structures. Her memoir exposes not just personal horrors but systemic failures shielding predators. The chilling request defies belief, yet aligns with Epstein’s reported obsessions with eugenics and control. As her family noted, an “ordinary American girl” confronted monsters—and her voice endures, demanding justice.
