New York – December 21, 2025 – In a heartbreaking revelation from her posthumously published memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Roberts Giuffre describes the paralyzing terror she endured as a teenage victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring, confessing she believed she might “die a sex slave” at the hands of the disgraced financier and his powerful associates.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, completed the manuscript with journalist Amy Wallace before her death, insisting it be released regardless of circumstances. Published in October by Alfred A. Knopf, the book has become a #1 New York Times bestseller, selling over a million copies worldwide and reigniting global scrutiny of Epstein’s network.
“I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied,” Giuffre writes. “I believed that I might die a sex slave.” She details how Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – the latter now serving 20 years for sex trafficking – groomed her at 16 while she worked at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Recruited under the pretense of becoming a masseuse, Giuffre was swiftly drawn into a world of coercion, manipulation, and exploitation.
The memoir recounts Epstein’s sadomasochistic demands, threats to her family, and instructions to maintain a “childlike” appearance to appeal to his elite circle. Giuffre describes being trafficked across Epstein’s properties in New York, Palm Beach, New Mexico, and his private Caribbean island, where she alleges orgies and brutal assaults occurred.
Particularly harrowing are accounts of encounters with high-profile figures. Giuffre reiterates claims of three sexual encounters with Britain’s Prince Andrew in 2001, including one during an “orgy” on Epstein’s island involving eight other young women. She writes that Andrew, then 41, guessed her age correctly as 17 and treated sex with her as a “birthright.” Andrew has consistently denied the allegations and settled a 2022 civil suit out of court.
Giuffre also alleges rape by a “well-known prime minister” (described variably in editions) and suggests Epstein attempted to use her as a surrogate. She reveals childhood molestation and later accusations against her own father, adding layers of intergenerational trauma.
Despite escaping at 19, marrying, and raising three children in Australia, Giuffre’s advocacy never waned. She founded a survivors’ organization and played a pivotal role in Epstein’s 2019 arrest and Maxwell’s conviction. Yet the toll was immense: PTSD, health struggles, and relentless public doubt.
Nobody’s Girl stands as Giuffre’s defiant legacy – a raw indictment of power protecting predators. As partial Epstein files face backlash over redactions amid ongoing disclosures, her words demand accountability. Survivors praise the book for empowering others, while critics note its unflinching exposure of institutional complicity.
In Giuffre’s final act of courage, she ensures her voice endures, reminding the world that victims are not “nobody.”
