Virginia Giuffre, a prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring, claimed in her posthumous memoir, *Nobody’s Girl*, that she was brutally beaten and raped by an unidentified “well-known Prime Minister” while on Epstein’s Caribbean island at age 18. Published six months after her suicide in Australia in April 2025, the memoir details the abuse she allegedly endured as a teenager and her fight for justice. Giuffre wrote that the politician choked her until she lost consciousness, laughed at her pain, and became more aroused as she begged him to stop. She pleaded with Epstein not to send her back to him, but he dismissed her concerns, saying, “You’ll get that sometimes.”
The U.S. version of the memoir refers to the abuser as a “well-known Prime Minister,” while the UK version calls him a “former minister,” with no explanation for the discrepancy. Giuffre’s account intensifies scrutiny on Epstein’s ties to powerful figures, reigniting controversy around Britain’s Prince Andrew, whom she accused of sexually assaulting her as a teenager. Andrew, who settled a civil case with Giuffre in 2022 for millions despite denying her claims, recently relinquished his Duke of York title amid ongoing fallout but retains his prince title as King Charles’ brother.
Giuffre alleged Andrew’s team attempted to hire online “trolls” to harass her during her New York lawsuit, which claimed she was forced to have sex with him three times, including at age 17. Further reports suggest Andrew sought to discredit her in 2011 by asking a police officer to dig up dirt on her, a claim London’s Metropolitan Police is investigating. Emails uncovered by the *Mail on Sunday* also reveal Andrew maintained contact with Epstein in February 2011, contradicting his 2019 BBC interview claim of ending their friendship in 2010. In one email, sent after a photo surfaced of Andrew with Giuffre, he wrote to Epstein, “It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it.” The memoir’s revelations are likely to deepen the royal family’s scandal and fuel transatlantic debates over Epstein’s elite connections.
