Virginia Giuffre, some of the distinguished victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring, wrote in her posthumous memoir that she was brutally crushed and raped by an unidentified prime minister and that she feared she would possibly “die a intercourse slave.”
“In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of rich, highly effective folks. I used to be habitually used and humiliated – and in some cases, choked, crushed, and bloodied,” Giuffre wrote of Epstein and his circle. “I believed that I’d die a intercourse slave.”
Six months after her dying by suicide in Australia, Giuffre’s memoir “No one’s Lady” was printed Tuesday and accommodates harrowing particulars of the abuse she allegedly suffered as an adolescent, and her years trying to get justice for herself and her fellow victims.
Within the US model, Giuffre claims she was raped by a person whom she had “taken pains to explain in my authorized filings solely as a ‘well-known Prime Minister.’” Within the UK model, the passages are nearly equivalent however consult with the person as a “former minister.” It was not clear what accounted for the discrepancy.
Whereas on the intercourse offender’s Caribbean island, Giuffre described how Epstein “trafficked me to a person who raped me extra savagely than anybody had earlier than.” She wrote she was 18 on the time.
“He repeatedly choked me till I misplaced consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me concern for my life. Horrifically, the Prime Minister laughed when he damage me and bought extra aroused after I begged him to cease,” she wrote.
“Afterward, I tearfully begged Epstein to not ship me again to him,” Giuffre wrote. “I bought down on my knees and pleaded with him. I don’t know if Epstein feared the person or if he owed him a favor, however he wouldn’t make any guarantees, saying coldly of the politician’s brutality, ‘You’ll get that typically.’”
The memoir will intensify a transatlantic scandal over the proximity of the wealthy and highly effective to Epstein, which has claimed political scalps in Britain and for months wracked Congress in america. Its publication will heap recent scrutiny on Prince Andrew, the disgraced British royal accused by Giuffre of sexually assaulting her whereas she was an adolescent.

Going through additional public outrage over his relationship with Epstein, Andrew introduced final week he had relinquished the usage of his royal titles and would not be generally known as the Duke of York, saying: “I’ve determined, as I at all times have, to place responsibility to my household and nation first.” He’ll, nevertheless, retain the title of “prince,” since he’s the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Whereas Buckingham Palace would have hoped Andrew’s determination might mark the tip of a scandal that has plagued the royal household for years, the most recent revelations in Giuffre’s memoir will probably deepen the prince’s shame.
Amongst these is Giuffre’s declare that Andrew’s “group” tried to rent on-line “trolls” to harangue her across the time she introduced a civil case in opposition to the prince in New York. Giuffre alleged that, having been trafficked by Epstein, she was compelled to have intercourse with Andrew on three events, together with when she was 17.
Regardless of claiming by no means to have met her, Andrew reportedly paid tens of millions to settle the civil case in 2022. Writing of that settlement, Giuffre mentioned: “After casting doubt on my credibility for thus lengthy – Prince Andrew’s group had even gone as far as to attempt to rent web trolls to problem me – the Duke of York owed me a significant apology as nicely.”

The allegation that Andrew tried to rent trolls comes after the Mail on Sunday, a British paper, reported that Andrew in 2011 requested a police officer assigned to him as a bodyguard to dig up dust on Giuffre. London’s Metropolitan Police mentioned it was “actively trying into” the report.
One other damaging report discovered that Andrew had stored up his friendship with Epstein two months after he insisted he had damaged it off. In a disastrous 2019 BBC interview, through which Andrew’s try to clear his identify backfired spectacularly, the prince insisted he had damaged off his friendship with Epstein throughout a stroll in New York’s Central Park in December 2010.
Newly unearthed emails have contradicted that declare. The Mail on Sunday reported that, in February 2011, a day after the British press printed a picture of the prince along with his arm across the teenage Giuffre, Andrew wrote to Epstein: “It might appear we’re on this collectively and must rise above it. In any other case preserve in shut contact and we’ll play some extra quickly!!!!”
