One of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, wrote a memoir before she died that is slated to be published this fall, publishing house Alfred A. Knopf announced.
The 400-page book, “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” is scheduled for release on Oct. 21.
“Giuffre offers an unsparing account of her time with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—from Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion to his Upper East Side townhouse to his private jets and island, from meeting politicians and CEOs at a sprawling New Mexico ranch to spending a now-infamous evening with Prince Andrew in London,” the publisher said in a statement.
“Giuffre shares intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details about her time with Epstein, Maxwell, and their many well-known friends, including Prince Andrew, about whom she speaks publicly for the first time since their out-of-court settlement in 2022,” it added.
Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in 2021, after alleging that he sexually abused her when she was a teenager. Giuffre said Epstein introduced her to Prince Andrew in London in 2001 and said Epstein’s longtime partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew has denied meeting Giuffre, saying it “didn’t happen.” They reached a settlement “in principle” in early 2022.
Giuffre collaborated over the course of four years with author and journalist Amy Wallace to write the memoir before the Epstein accuser died by suicide on April 25.
In late March, Giuffre was struck by a school bus and said she was given four days to live after going into renal failure.
Days after the crash, Giuffre wrote an email expressing her “heartfelt wish that this work be published, regardless of my circumstances at the time,” according to the publishing house, which included the email in its statement.
“The content of this book is crucial, as it aims to shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders. It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness,” Giuffre wrote in the email.
“In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that NOBODY’S GIRL is still released. I believe it has the potential to impact many lives and foster necessary discussions about these grave injustices,” Giuffre, who came out publicly with her accusation in 2015 and became an advocate for sex trafficking survivors, added.
She has said Epstein and Maxwell, his longtime partner, hired her as a masseuse following their introduction at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in the early 2000s when she was a teenager.
Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in jail for soliciting prostitution in 2009 and died in prison awaiting trial sex trafficking charges.
Maxwell is serving a sentence after her conviction on sex trafficking charges.
