In a posthumous memoir to be published next week, Virginia Roberts Giuffre provides a detailed account of how she was allegedly recruited into Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network from Mar-a-Lago at age 16, and describes her alleged encounters with wealthy and powerful men, according to a Guardian report.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025, describes in “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice” her initial recruitment by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida in 2000.
According to an extract published in the Guardian, Giuffre recalls Maxwell approaching her at the resort’s spa, where she was reading an anatomy book. Maxwell allegedly offered her work as a massage therapist for a wealthy client, later revealed to be Epstein.
Giuffre describes a pattern of grooming that began with what appeared to be a legitimate massage lesson but quickly escalated to sexual abuse.
She alleges that Epstein and Maxwell employed manipulation tactics that exploited her vulnerabilities as a teenager with a troubled background.
“A master manipulator, he threw what looked like a lifeline to girls who were drowning,” Giuffre writes of Epstein. “If they wanted to be dancers, he offered dance lessons. If they aspired to be actors, he said he’d help them get roles. And then, he did his worst to them.”
The memoir details how Epstein allegedly used threats to ensure her compliance, including showing her a photograph of her younger brother and saying, “We know where your brother goes to school”.
Giuffre also describes three alleged encounters with Prince Andrew, including one at Maxwell’s London home in March 2001, another at Epstein’s New York townhouse, and a third on Epstein’s private Caribbean island.
The memoir includes her account of the now-infamous photograph showing her with Prince Andrew and Maxwell.
Prince Andrew reached a settlement with Giuffre in February 2022 without any admission of liability. He continues to deny all allegations, including that he ever met Giuffre.
The memoir, to be released on October 21, comes more than three years after Epstein’s death in prison and following Maxwell’s conviction for sex trafficking minors.
It provides a firsthand account of what Giuffre describes as a vast network of abuse that involved numerous powerful figures.
“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing,” Giuffre writes. “Epstein not only didn’t hide what was happening, he took a certain glee in making people watch”.
