In her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre recounts her harrowing years as Epstein’s “sex slave,” forced to call him “daddy.”
Co-written with journalist Amy Wallace and released Oct. 21—months after Giuffre’s death by suicide at 41—the book reveals her “whole story” after 16 years of legal battles. Giuffre expands on claims that Epstein trafficked her to billionaires, politicians, and Prince Andrew, describing the psychological manipulation that kept her trapped: “I needed him not to be a selfish, cruel pedophile. So, I told myself he wasn’t one.”
Giuffre says her ordeal began in 2000 at Mar-a-Lago, where Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her as a “masseuse.” Massages quickly turned into coerced sex, leading to years of abuse across Epstein’s properties. She alleges she was “loaned” to Epstein’s powerful friends and feared she would “die a sex slave.”
Confined in Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, Giuffre recalls being summoned by intercom and punished for small acts of independence. She describes Epstein and Maxwell’s twisted “family” dynamic—Epstein as patriarch, Maxwell as matriarch—who once introduced her as their “daughter” for show.
Her memoir exposes the depth of control, exploitation, and dehumanization she endured—and her fight to bring it to light.
