Giuffre thought she might 'die a sex slave' at hands of Epstein and his circle, memoir reveals

Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir reveals that she feared she would die a sex slave at the behest of Jeffrey Epstein and his crew. The BBC has obtained a complete copy of Nobody's Girl, written by the notorious sex offender Epstein, ahead of its publication on Tuesday, almost six months after she took her own life. Ms Giuffre's book includes references to having sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions, including once with Epstein and about eight other young people. Prince Andrew, who signed a financial deal with Ms Giuffre in 2022, has never denied any wrongdoing.

The memoir, which the BBC purchased from a book store in central London a few days before its official launch, depicts a picture of a wealthy and influential community abusing young people. Epstein and his late mother, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence on sex trafficking allegations, were at the center of the assault. Ms Giuffre claims that even decades later, she remembers how much she feared them both. Ms Giuffre discusses Epstein's tragic torture, making a large portion of the book harrowing reading. Epstein allegedly subjected her to sadomasochistic sex, which caused her

so much pain that I prayed I would black out. According to BBC News, a Buckingham Palace source told BBC News that as a result of the book's publication, Prince Andrew is put under more scrutiny. The King's activities this week include a trip to the Vatican, where he will pray with the Pope. Prince Andrew declared on Friday that he had voluntary chosen not to use his titles, including the Duke of York, an award he received from his mother, late Queen Elizabeth II. He is also giving up membership of the Order of the Garter, the country's oldest and most senior order of chivalry.

I vehemently deny the allegations against me," he said in his address.

Though Andrew, the king's son, will no longer be using his titles, a small number of MPs are pushing for their removal from him. They include Rachael Maskell, an Independent MP for York Central, and Stephen Flynn, the SNP leader at Westminster. Maskell told BBC Radio 4's Today show that it was very strange that a title could be given but that he can't delete a name. She argued that a single rule, rather than a simple, single clause, would grant a monarch the power to do this for any rank, including peerages. Flynn said there was no excuse for the UK government not to take action to ban Andrew's titles.

The family of Virginia Giuffre, whose life was ruined, is angry and aghast, and they should all be aware that some MPs voiced their displeasure,

he said. Henry Zeffman, the BBC's chief political reporter, said that it was very unlikely that the government would lead this investigation.

It's likely that events call for further action against Andrew Andrew, but if they do, I suspect it will be the monarchy making the call and the government following suit rather than the other way around.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said on Today that these are matters for the Royal Family rather than for government.

The government does not care about matters concerning the Royal Family,

she said,

by long-standing tradition. The prince's new book, written by Ms Giuffre and ghostwriter Amy Wallace, puts him under even greater scrutiny. Ms Giuffre's memoir claims she first met Prince Andrew in March 2001. Maxwell woke her up and told her that it was going to be a

extraordinary dayand thatmuch like Cinderellashe would meet ahandsome prince. She claims she told Prince Andrew later that day that she told him to guess her age. Ms Giuffre said the prince, who was then 41, guessed correctly: seventeen.My daughters are just a little younger than you," she recalls him saying.

She claims she and Prince Andrew, Epstein, and Maxwell all attended London's Tramp nightclub, where she says the prince sweated profusely on the evening. Ms Giuffre writes that Maxwell told her:

You should do for him what you do for Jeffrey when we get home.

They had sex at the house back then,she wrote.He was friendly enough, but also entitled,she says,as if having sex with me was his birthright.

Maxwell had consulted with her royal chum the next morning,'

she told me:

You did well. The prince had fun. Ms Giuffre writes that she

didn't feel so goodand thatSoon, Epstein will pay me $15,000 for caring for the guy the tabloids refer to as 'Randy Andy.

Mrs Giuffre claims she had sex with the prince for the second time a month later at Epstein's townhouse in New York. Ms Giuffre said it was on Epstein's island as part of what Ms. Giuffré described as

an orgy. She claims she said she was about 18 in a sworn declaration in 2015 that she was not about 18.Epstein, Andy, and about eight other young girls and I had sex together,she says.All the other girls seemed to be under the age of 18 and didn't really speak English.

Epstein mused over how they couldn't really communicate, while still saying they are the easiest girls to get along with.

Ms Giuffre discusses her out-of-court deal with Prince Andrew in 2022 after she brought a civil lawsuit against him later in the book.

I agreed to a one-year gag order, which seemed to be particularly important to the prince because it meant that his mother's Platinum Jubilee would not be tarnished any more than it already had been,

she says. Although Ms Giuffre's suspected communications with Prince Andrew have been widely distributed in the British press, the book's content is much more specific - sprinkled with sinister hints of Epstein's sex trafficking. According to Ms Giuffre, the girls were expected to look childlike and that her childhood eating disorder was only encouraged under Epstein's roof.

They lent me out to scores of wealthy, influential individuals in my time with them,

she writes.

I was habitually used and humiliated, and in some cases, choked, beaten, and bloodied.

I was afraid that I would die as a sex slave. In 2008, Epstein was found guilty in Florida of soliciting sex from a person under the age of 18. He died in 2019 while awaiting a child trafficking trial. On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said it was actively looking into media reports thatPrince Andrew attempted to obtain personal information about Ms Giuffrethrough his police protection officer (PPO). According to the Mail on Sunday, the prince ordered the officer to prosecute Ms Giuffre just before the newspaper published a snapshot of her first meeting with the prince in February 2011. According to the paper, the officer was given her date of birth and her confidential social security number. It needs to be put to bed one way or another, Dai Davies, the former head of royal guard at Scotland Yard, told BBC One's Breakfast.

If there is any evidence of criminality either under the data security legislation or malfeasance in a public office, it would be investigated thoroughly, and the Crown Prosecution [Service] should be sent.

Obviously, the government will have to take action, given that he is still a prince. According to a royal source, there are currently no proposals for the removal of the prince title from Andrew's birthdate.

The headlines are taking a lot of oxygen out of the royal room,

they said, referring to reports about Prince Andrew's disappearance from King Charles' activities. In 2019, the prince denied ever recall seeing Ms Giuffre at all and that they never had any sort of sexual relationship with her. " Buckingham Palace has not commented.
