Virginia Giuffre, the prominent accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, feared she might 'die a sex slave' at the hands of Epstein and his circle, according to her posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl, set to be published on Tuesday.
In the book, Giuffre details her encounters with Prince Andrew, claiming she had sex with him on three occasions, including one instance described as an 'orgy' with Epstein and eight other young girls on Epstein's island. Andrew has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing and reached a financial settlement with Giuffre in 2022.
Giuffre, who took her own life in April, was a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Her memoir describes the abuse at the centre of Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence on sex-trafficking charges. Giuffre wrote that Epstein caused her 'so much pain that I prayed I would black out'.
The revelations come as Prince Andrew voluntarily gave up all his titles and honours on Friday. The Metropolitan Police is also 'actively looking into' claims that Andrew asked a personal protection officer to dig up dirt on Giuffre.
In the memoir, Giuffre recounts meeting Andrew in 2001, when Maxwell told her it would be a 'special day' and she would meet a 'handsome prince'. She claims Andrew guessed her age as 17, saying, 'My daughters are just a little younger than you.' She described receiving $15,000 from Epstein for 'servicing' the prince.
Giuffre also revealed details of Epstein's sex trafficking operation, stating girls were required to look 'childlike'. She wrote: 'I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied.' Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
