Giuffre thought she might ‘die a sex slave’ at hands of Epstein and his circle, memoir reveals

Virginia Giuffre says she feared she might “die a sex slave” at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his circle, her posthumous memoir reveals.

The BBC has obtained a full copy of Nobody’s Girl, written by the prominent accuser of convicted sex offender Epstein ahead of its publication on Tuesday, almost six months after she took her own life.

In the memoir, Ms Giuffre also says she had sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions, including once with Epstein and approximately eight other young women.

Prince Andrew, who reached a financial settlement with Ms Giuffre in 2022, has always denied any wrongdoing.

The memoir, which the BBC bought from a book store in central London days before its official release date, paints a picture of a web of rich and powerful people abusing young women.

At the centre of the abuse was Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence on sex-trafficking charges.

Ms Giuffre says that even decades later, she remembers how much she feared them both.

Much of the book makes for extremely harrowing reading, as Ms Giuffre details the sadistic abuse that Epstein put her through.

She says Epstein subjected her to sadomasochistic sex which caused her “so much pain that I prayed I would black out”.

On Friday, Prince Andrew announced that he was voluntarily deciding not to use his titles and giving up membership of the Order of the Garter – the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain.

He will no longer use his Duke of York title, an honour received from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.

In his statement, he said: “I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

However the new book, written by Ms Giuffre and ghostwriter Amy Wallace, puts the prince under even more scrutiny.

In the memoir, Ms Giuffre says she first met Prince Andrew in March 2001.

She writes that Maxwell woke her up and told her it was going to be a “special day” and that “just like Cinderella” she was going to meet a “handsome prince”.

She says that when she met Prince Andrew later that day, Maxwell told him to guess her age.

The prince, who was then 41, “guessed correctly: seventeen”, Ms Giuffre said. “My daughters are just a little younger than you,” she recalls him saying.

That night, she says she attended London’s Tramp nightclub with Prince Andrew, Epstein and Maxwell, where she says the prince “sweated profusely”.

In a car on the way back to Maxwell’s house afterwards, Ms Giuffre writes that Maxwell told her: “When we get home, you are to do for him what you do for Jeffrey.”

She wrote that back at the house they had sex.

“He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright,” she says.

“The next morning, it was clear that Maxwell had conferred with her royal chum because she told me: ‘You did well. The prince had fun.'”

Ms Giuffre writes that she “didn’t feel so great”, adding: “Soon, Epstein would give me $15,000 for servicing the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy’ – a lot of money.”

Ms Giuffre says she had sex for a second time with the prince around a month later at Epstein’s townhouse in New York.

She says the third occasion was on Epstein’s island as part of what Ms Giuffre called “an orgy”.

She writes that she said in a sworn declaration in 2015 that she was “around 18”.

“Epstein, Andy, and approximately eight other young girls and I had sex together,” she says.

“The other girls all appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English.

“Epstein laughed about how they couldn’t really communicate, saying they are the easiest girls to get along with.”

Later in the book, Ms Giuffre touches on her 2022 out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew after she brought a civil case against him.

“I agreed to a one-year gag order, which seemed important to the prince because it ensured his mother’s Platinum Jubilee would not be tarnished any more than it already had been,” she writes.

While Ms Giuffre’s alleged interactions with Prince Andrew have been widely reported by the British press, the book’s content is wider in scope – littered with sinister details of Epstein’s sex trafficking.

The girls were required to look “childlike”, Ms Giuffre says, and her childhood eating disorder was “only encouraged” under Epstein’s roof.

“In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people,” she writes.

“I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied.

“I believed that I might die a sex slave.”

Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a person under the age of 18. He died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said it was “actively” looking into media reports that Prince Andrew tried to obtain personal information about Ms Giuffre through his police protection officer (PPO).

According to the Mail on Sunday, the prince asked the officer to investigate Ms Giuffre just before the newspaper published a photo in February 2011 of her first meeting with the prince.

A royal source told the BBC there are currently no plans for the removal of the prince title that Andrew was born with.

“The headlines are taking a lot of oxygen out of the royal room,” they added, referring to press about Prince Andrew diverting attention away from King Charles’s engagements.

In 2019, the prince repeatedly told BBC Newsnight that he did not remember meeting Ms Giuffre “at all” and that they “never had any sort of sexual contact.”

Buckingham Palace has not commented.
