Virginia Giuffre tells in a first excerpt from her posthumously published memoirs “Nobody’s Girl“, which in The Guardian appeared, from their recruitment Ghislaine Maxwell in the Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resortthe first sexual abuse Jeffrey Epstein and their alleged mediation to billionaires, academics and politicians and even Prince Andrew.
Recruitment at Mar-a-Lago and the beginning of the abuse
Giuffre, in April of this year died by suicidespent the last years of her life working on her memoirs and is said to have completed the manuscript last fall. It should now on October 21st be published.
As one of the best-known accusers Epstein, many of Giuffre’s shocking allegations have already been made public in lawsuits and court documents. In the book, she details the time she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell, but also reflects on the abuse she suffered as a child and her decision to speak out about Epstein and Maxwell.
As she writes in the new excerpt from “Nobody’s Girl,” Giuffre came into Epstein’s orbit after taking a job at Mar-a-Lago, where her father also worked. She briefly describes how she met Trump at the resort and how the future president – and known Epstein Employees – helped her find extra work as a babysitter for wealthy friends who lived nearby.
The moment everything fell apart
A few weeks before her 17th birthday, Giuffre writes, Maxwell saw her on the way to the spa at Mar-a-Lago with an anatomy book that the teenager had “pasted full of sticky notes.” Recognizing Giuffre’s interest in learning massage techniques, Maxwell invited her to meet Epstein later that evening as the financier was “looking for a massage therapist who would travel with him.”
Giuffre recalls that the walls of Epstein’s home were “covered with photos and paintings of naked women.” She also remembers that Epstein was already lying naked on a massage table when she first met him. Giuffre says Maxwell taught her how to massage Epstein and at one point “put her hands on mine and closed them [Epsteins] Rear guided”.
She writes: “It was only later that I realized how the two of them had gradually broken down my defenses. Every time I felt a slight discomfort, one look at Maxwell told me I was overreacting. And so it went on for about half an hour: a seemingly legitimate massage lesson.”
Control, extortion and human trafficking
During the massage, Epstein asked Giuffre increasingly in-depth questions, according to her statement, including whether she was on the pill and when she first had sex. When Giuffre suggested that she had been living on the streets as a runaway, Epstein mocked her as a “naughty girl.” When Giuffre rebuffed him, Epstein replied: “That’s okay. I like naughty girls.”
At that point, Giuffre writes, Epstein “rolled onto his back” and exposed his erection. Giuffre says Maxwell repeatedly showed her how to massage Epstein, who then began masturbating and asked, “You don’t mind, do you?”
Giuffre says this was “the moment something inside me broke,” describing her memories as “jagged shards”: “Maxwell undressed, with a mischievous look on his face; Maxwell stood behind me, unzipped my skirt and pulled my Mar-a-Lago polo shirt over my head; Epstein and Maxwell laughed at my underwear, which was covered in little hearts. ‘How.’ cute – she’s still wearing little girls’ panties,” Epstein said. He grabbed a vibrator and pressed it between my thighs while Maxwell ordered me to pinch Epstein’s nipples while she rubbed her own breasts and mine.”
Prince Andrew and the international scandal
The excerpt continues: “I felt my brain shutting down. My body couldn’t escape that space, but my mind couldn’t bear to stay there, so it put me in a kind of autopilot mode: submissive and determined to survive.”
Shortly after that encounter, Giuffre said, Epstein convinced her to quit her job at Mar-a-Lago and work for him. She says he gave her money to move into her own apartment and not-so-subtly threatened her to keep quiet about what happened in the house. Giuffre claims Epstein showed her a blurry photo of her brother at his school and claimed he “owns the Palm Beach Police Department.”
She then writes about how Epstein and Maxwell “began [sie] to their friends.” These included: a billionaire with a pregnant wife, a “psychology professor whose research funded Epstein,” academics, scientists, “a soon-to-be gubernatorial candidate in a western state, and a former U.S. senator.” Giuffre says Epstein did not introduce these men to her by name, and she only learned some of their identities “years later, when [sie] “I studied photos of Epstein’s acquaintances and recognized their faces.”
In the hands of “Randy Andy”
The excerpt ends with Giuffre recalling her first alleged encounter with Prince Andrew remembered in 2001. (Andrew has long denied Giuffre’s allegations and A high-profile sexual assault lawsuit in 2022 settled with her. ) Giuffre says that after the performance, Maxwell encouraged Andrew to estimate Giuffre’s age. After correctly guessing 17, Giuffre wrote that Andrew allegedly told her, “My daughters are just a little younger than you.” Giuffre says Maxwell then joked, “I guess we’ll have to trade them soon.”
After a night on the road, Giuffre said, Maxwell instructed her: “When we get home, you have to go for [Andrew] do what you do for Jeffrey.” Recalling Andrew’s alleged behavior that night, Giuffre writes that he was “kind enough, but still demanding – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” Giuffre says Epstein gave her $15,000 “to service the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy.’
Gifuffre recalls two other alleged encounters with Andrew, one at Epstein’s New York townhouse, the other on Epstein’s infamous private island. She describes the latter as an “orgy,” citing an earlier statement in which she said Epstein, Andrew and “eight other young girls” were involved. In the memoir, she writes that Epstein told her that Jean-Luc Brunel, the late French modeling agent, “supplied the other girls who took part.”
