Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre's memoir 'Nobody's Girl' to be published months after her death
The memoir of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers, will be published in October.
Giuffre had completed the manuscript for the book, titled "Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice” before she took her own life at the age of 41 in April.
Publisher Alfred A Knopf said Giuffre sent an email a few weeks before her death saying it was her "heartfelt wish" the memoir be released "regardless" of her circumstances.
"It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness," Guiffre's email read.
Giuffre alleged that she had been trafficked for sex to Prince Andrew by Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17.
She has maintained Maxwell spotted her working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago and hired her as Epstein's masseuse. Both Prince Andrew and Maxwell have denied the allegations.
In 2022, Giuffre and the prince reached an out-of-court settlement after she sued him for sexual assault.
The 400-page memoir, co-written with journalist and author Amy Wallace, will be the first time Giuffre has commented on Prince Andrew since the settlement was reached.
A spokesperson for the publisher declined to provide details about Epstein associates featured in Giuffre's novel, although confirmed that she made "no allegations of abuse against Trump."
US President Donald Trump has faced increased scrutiny over his relationship with his former friend Epstein, as his administration has refused to release more records about the government's investigation into the financier.
Epstein died in prison awaiting sex trafficking charges in 2019 in what investigators described as a suicide.
Last month, Trump alleged that he banned Epstein from his private club in Florida two decades earlier because Epstein "stole" young women — including Giuffre — from the resort.
Knopf said the book contains "intimate, disturbing, and heart-breaking new details" about Giuffre's time with Epstein, Maxwell and Prince Andrew.
Giuffre, who became a prominent campaigner for victims of sexual abuse, was one of Epstein's most outspoken accusers, although her accounts have been challenged. She has acknowledged getting details wrong, errors she attributed to trying to recall events from years ago.
“'Nobody's Girl' was both vigorously fact-checked and legally vetted,” a Knopf statement reads.
