Virginia Giuffre was one of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s most outspoken accusers. Six months after her death, Giuffre’s book detailing her life will be published.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre was a driving force in exposing what federal prosecutors later called a sex trafficking ring in which Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell exploited hundreds of minors and young women. Now Giuffre’s memoir is poised to tell more of her story: It will be published posthumously, months after Giuffre died by suicide at age 41.
Giuffre’s 400-page memoir, Nobody’s Girl, will come out on Oct. 21, according to Alfred A. Knopf. The publisher describes Giuffre as « the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. »
News of the book’s publication comes months after Giuffre’s death in April in Australia — the country where she had created a new life for herself as a mother and housewife.
« She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published », Knopf says. « Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity. »
In court records that have been unsealed — including depositions and an earlier, unpublished memoir — Giuffre described how patterns of molestation and abuse warped her early life. In those documents, she narrated multiple instances where she said adults offered to help the teenage, freckle-faced Virginia Roberts, but turned out instead to be sexual predators.
