In a harrowing account from beyond the grave, sex trafficking survivor and whistleblower Virginia Giuffre has detailed the horrific abuse she endured from a powerful politician within Jeffrey Epstein's circle. Her posthumous memoir, released months after her tragic death, exposes new depths of the depravity she faced.
The Posthumous Testimony of a Survivor
Virginia Giuffre's memoir, 'Nobody's Girl', was published after her death by suicide in April 2025. The 41-year-old did not live to see her book become an instant bestseller, which chronicles her journey from a trafficked teenage spa assistant to a global advocate for survivors. The book alleges sustained abuse by numerous wealthy and powerful figures connected to Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre wrote of being 'lent out to scores of wealthy, powerful people', describing habitual use, humiliation, and violent physical attacks. She stated she believed she 'might die a sex slave'. Among these abusers was a well-known politician, whom she accused of raping her 'more savagely than anyone had before' when she was 18 years old.
A Savage Assault and a Chilling Response
The campaigner's memoir provides a graphic account of the alleged assault. She wrote that the politician repeatedly choked her until she lost consciousness, took pleasure in her fear, and laughed while hurting her. In a desperate bid for safety afterwards, Giuffre begged Epstein not to send her back to the man.
'I got down on my knees and pleaded with him,' Giuffre recalled. Epstein's response was merciless. Showing no concern for her wellbeing, he coldly stated of the politician's brutality, 'You'll get that sometimes.' Giuffre speculated whether Epstein feared the man or owed him a favour.
The Beginning of the End
Tragically, this was not Giuffre's final encounter with the unnamed politician. Weeks later, convicted paedophile Epstein ordered her onto his private plane, the 'Lolita Express', to meet an unnamed friend. Upon boarding, she discovered the same politician waiting for her.
This second encounter proved to be a pivotal moment. Realising that 'Epstein only cared about Epstein', Giuffre stopped recruiting other girls for the trafficking ring, a task she had previously been forced to perform. In an interview, her ghostwriter Amy Wallace described the anonymous individual as a 'sadist', adding that Giuffre was too afraid to name him publicly, fearing he would kill her.
Drawing from her trauma, Giuffre became a leading advocate for sex trafficking victims. She founded the non-profit organisation SOAR (Speak Out, Act, Reclaim), which empowers survivors to tell their stories and help end sex trafficking.
Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other crimes related to Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein died in his jail cell in August 2019, with his death ruled a suicide.
