"Nobody's Girl": Virginia Giuffre's Memoir Details Sex Abuse by Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew (Democracy Now!)

 

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's posthumous memoir has just been released, detailing how she was groomed by Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she met at Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort. In Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, she writes that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times, beginning when she was 17, and was beaten and raped by a "well-known prime minister." Virginia Giuffre died by suicide earlier this year in Australia at age 41. 

Democracy Now! speaks with Amy Wallace, Giuffre's ghostwriter, who says Giuffre experienced the "depths of hell" with Maxwell and Epstein. "It's not just a catalog of horrors. It's a woman who is terribly abused as a child, escapes from that terrible abuse … and then becomes an advocate," says Wallace.
