"Some of those men, she wrote, threatened to ruin her financially by keeping her tied up in court. "There are other men whom I was trafficked to who have threatened me in another way: by asserting that they will use litigation to bankrupt me," she wrote. "Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice," written with the journalist Amy Wallace and published Tuesday by Knopf, details Giuffre's years in Epstein's orbit."
"Giuffre said she was particularly frightened of a man she called "the former Prime Minister," who she believed "will seek to hurt me if I say his name here." "He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me in fear for my life," Giuffre wrote of the former head of state. "Horrifically, the Prime Minister laughed when he hurt me and got more aroused when I begged him to stop.""
Virginia Giuffre described being sexually abused and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to scores of wealthy, powerful people in the early 2000s when she was a teenager. Some individuals were named, including Prince Andrew, while many others remained unidentified. Several men threatened to bankrupt her through litigation as a means of silencing her. One former head of state repeatedly choked her until she lost consciousness and laughed while causing pain. Another man who had sexual contact with Epstein was also feared and described as too dangerous to publicly identify. Those threats and violence deterred her from naming all her traffickers.
