"An extract from the posthumous memoir of Virginia Giuffre, the well-known victim of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has shone further light on the extensive abuse she says she experienced while working for the well-connected financier. The book, titled Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice', which will be published next week, details her claims to have been sex-trafficked by Epstein to prominent politicians, the wealthy and Prince Andrew of the British royal family."
"We know where your brother goes to school, Epstein allegedly warned Giuffre. He let that sink in for a moment, then got to the point: You must never tell a soul what goes on in this house.' He was smiling, but his threat was clear, Giuffre wrote. She then said he told her complaining to the police would be pointless. And I own the Palm Beach police department, Epstein told Giuffre. So they won't do anything about it."
"The teenage Giuffre was employed by Epstein after being initially approached by the financier's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, while she worked at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Giuffre details the first time that she was sexually assaulted by Epstein and Maxwell while giving the former a massage. Epstein also encouraged Giuffre to work for him full-time, rather than continue her work at Trump's resort."
Virginia Giuffre alleges she was sex-trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to prominent politicians, wealthy individuals and Prince Andrew. She reports that Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell groomed her after an approach while she worked at Mar-a-Lago, when she was 16. She describes an initial sexual assault while giving Epstein a massage and claims Epstein encouraged her to work full-time for him. She alleges she was loaned to Epstein's contacts and that Epstein threatened her by showing photos of her brother and claiming control over the Palm Beach police. Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence. Giuffre died by suicide in April.
