NEW YORK (AP) — A posthumous memoir by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, titled “Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice” is scheduled for release on Tuesday. Co-written with journalist Amy Wallace, the memoir was completed before Giuffre's tragic death by suicide in April 2023. In this book, Giuffre revisits her longstanding claims of having been sexually trafficked by Epstein to prominent figures, including billionaires and politicians like Britain’s Prince Andrew.

Giuffre has shared her story through various interviews and lawsuits over a span of 16 years. This memoir aims to provide a comprehensive account of her experiences, illuminating the context that she feels has often been overlooked. Although she revisits her allegations involving the individuals connected to Epstein, she is cautious in naming them, either due to not knowing their identities or fearing possible retaliation.

The memoir also delves into the psychological impact of her alleged abuse following a traumatic childhood. Giuffre attempts to rationalize her nearly two-year stay in what she describes as “Epstein’s sickening world,” reflecting on her mindset at that time. “I needed him not to be a selfish, cruel pedophile. So I told myself he wasn’t one,” she writes, expressing the complexities of her situation.

Giuffre first encountered Epstein in the summer of 2000 when she was employed at the spa of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, shortly before her 17th birthday. In the memoir, she recounts being hired by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime companion, to work as a “masseuse” for him. Giuffre asserts that both Epstein and Maxwell coerced her into performing sex acts during massages and subsequently took her to residences in New York, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and New Mexico, where she alleges she was directed to engage in sexual encounters with some of Epstein’s wealthy friends and acquaintances.

Maxwell has consistently denied any involvement in sexual abuse and has labeled Giuffre's assertions as false. In addition to detailing her experiences with Epstein, Giuffre revisits her alleged interactions with Prince Andrew, with whom she filed a lawsuit in 2021, claiming they had sexual relations when she was 17. Andrew has denied her allegations, and the two reached a settlement in 2022.

Speculation surrounding Epstein’s involvement in a global sex trafficking operation continues to trouble the Trump administration, which is facing mounting pressure to disclose more information relevant to the FBI's investigations of Epstein and Maxwell. Giuffre, in the closing sections of her memoir, raises pointed questions about the FBI's actions: “Where are those videotapes the FBI confiscated from Epstein’s houses? And why haven’t they led to the prosecution of any more abusers?”

Giuffre recalls a brief meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, where her father worked, noting that he was “couldn’t have been friendlier” and offered help in finding her babysitting work, even though she doesn’t allege any wrongdoing on his part. She also discusses moments shared with former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore, but does not claim any misconduct on their end either.

After breaking off contact with Epstein in 2002, Giuffre became embroiled in an investigation launched in 2005 when the parents of another young girl reported similar instances of sexual abuse. However, the police inquiry was shut down in 2008 after Epstein pled guilty to procuring a person under 18 for prostitution, serving a mere 13 months of an 18-month sentence.

Giuffre reflects on a troubling period when Epstein and Maxwell encouraged her to recruit other girls for sexualized massages, an act she describes as “the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life.” She states, “The faces of the girls I recruited will always haunt me.” Following renewed federal charges against Epstein in 2019, he died by suicide while awaiting trial. Maxwell, on the other hand, was convicted in 2021 for crimes including sex trafficking and is currently serving a 20-year prison term. Giuffre was not involved in either case.

Throughout the years, numerous victims of Epstein have shared their harrowing accounts, but Giuffre's narrative stands out due to her claims of being “loaned” to the powerful and wealthy connections of Epstein.
