Giuffre Memoir Revives Epstein Scandal, Names Prince Andrew
Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein case, revealed in her memoir that she feared dying “a sex slave” under his control.
Her book, Nobody’s Girl, obtained by the BBC before release, details disturbing experiences of sexual exploitation involving Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre recounts enduring violent sadomasochistic abuse that caused unbearable pain, saying she often prayed to lose consciousness during those horrific encounters.
She describes Epstein and Maxwell as “the most terrifying people” she had ever known, instilling constant fear and helplessness throughout her teenage years.
The memoir also revives her allegations against Prince Andrew, claiming she was forced into three sexual encounters with him between 2001 and 2002.
Giuffre says Maxwell introduced her to the prince when she was 17, adding that his behavior felt entitled, as though intimacy were his privilege.
Prince Andrew, who reached a settlement with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting guilt, continues to deny all allegations related to Epstein’s abuse ring.
A Buckingham Palace insider told the BBC the royal family expects “more days of pain ahead” as the book reignites public scrutiny.

The prince has voluntarily stopped using his titles, including Duke of York, and stepped back from the Order of the Garter.
Several lawmakers, however, demand that his remaining royal honors be formally revoked to restore accountability and public trust in the monarchy.
Independent MP Rachael Maskell argued titles should be revocable, while SNP leader Stephen Flynn said keeping them is “unjustifiable and offensive” to victims.
Government officials insist the matter remains internal to the royal family, maintaining that political intervention would breach long-standing constitutional convention.
Adding to the controversy, reports claim Prince Andrew tried to obtain Giuffre’s personal information through a police officer in 2011.
Former royal protection chief Dai Davies labeled the allegation “scandalous,” urging investigation into potential privacy violations and misuse of official authority.
Giuffre’s memoir further exposes Epstein’s network, describing how young women were “lent out” to powerful men and forced to appear childlike.
Despite the uproar, royal sources told the BBC there are no current plans to strip Prince Andrew’s title, though public anger continues growing.
