Virginia Giuffre says she feared she might “die a sex slave” at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his circle, her posthumous memoir reveals.

The BBC has obtained a full copy of Nobody’s Girl, written by the prominent accuser of convicted sex offender Epstein, ahead of its publication on Tuesday, almost six months after she took her own life.

In the memoir, Ms Giuffre also said she had sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions, including once with Epstein and approximately eight other young women.

Prince Andrew, who reached a financial settlement with Ms Giuffre in 2022, has always denied wrongdoing.

The memoir, which the BBC bought from a central London bookshop days before its official publication date, paints a picture of a network of rich and powerful people who abuse young women.

At the center of the abuse were Epstein and his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence on charges of sex trafficking.

Ms. Giuffre says that even decades later, she remembers how much she feared them both.

Much of the book is extremely harrowing reading as Ms Giuffre describes the sadistic abuse Epstein subjected her to.

She says Epstein subjected her to sadomasochistic sex that caused her “so much pain I was praying I would pass out.”

On Friday, Prince Andrew announced that he had voluntarily decided not to use his titles and was giving up his membership of the Order of the Garter, Britain’s oldest and highest order of chivalry.

He will no longer use his title of Duke of Yorkan honor received by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.

In his statement, he said: “I categorically deny the allegations against me.”

But the new book, written by Ms Giuffre and ghostwriter Amy Wallace, puts the prince under even greater scrutiny.

In the memoir, Ms Giuffre says she first met Prince Andrew in March 2001.

She wrote that Maxwell woke her up and told her it was going to be a “special day” and that “just like Cinderella” she would meet a “handsome prince”.

She says that when she met Prince Andrew later that day, Maxwell told him to guess her age.

The prince, then 41, “guessed correctly: seventeen,” Ms Giuffre said. “My daughters are a little younger than you,” she recalled him saying.

That evening, she says she visited London’s Tramp nightclub with Prince Andrew, Epstein and Maxwell, where she says the prince “sweated profusely”.

In a car ride back to Maxwell’s house afterward, Mrs. Giuffre writes that Maxwell told her, “When we get home, you have to do for him what you do for Geoffrey.”

She writes that they had sex in the house.

“He was friendly enough, but still entitled – it was like he believed it was his birthright to have sex with me,” she says.

“The next morning it was clear that Maxwell had spoken to her royal friend because she told me: ‘You did well. The prince had fun.’

Ms Giuffre wrote that she “didn’t feel so good”, adding: “Soon Epstein was going to give me $15,000 for servicing the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy’ – a lot of money.”

Ms Giuffre says she had sex a second time with the prince about a month later at Epstein’s house in New York.

She says the third case was on Epstein’s island as part of what Ms Giuffre called an “orgy”.

She writes that she said in a 2015 affidavit that she was “about 18.”

“Epstein, Andy and about eight other young girls and I had sex together,” she says.

“The other girls looked under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English.

“Epstein laughed about how they couldn’t really communicate, saying they were the easiest girls to get along with.”

Later in the book Ms. Giuffre touches on her 2022 out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew after she filed a civil suit against him.

“I agreed to a one-year order which seemed important to the prince because it ensured that his mother’s platinum jubilee would not be tarnished any more than it already was,” she wrote.

Although Ms Giuffre’s alleged interactions with Prince Andrew were widely reported in the British press, the content of the book is wider in scope – full of lurid details of Epstein’s sex-trafficking.

The girls were required to look “like children”, Ms Giuffre says, and her childhood eating disorder was “only encouraged” under Epstein’s roof.

“In my years with them, they loaned me out to dozens of rich, powerful people,” she wrote.

“Usually I was used and humiliated – and in some cases choked, beaten and bloodied.

“I believed I could die a sex slave.”

Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008 of soliciting prostitution of a person under the age of 18. He died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

On Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said it was “actively” looking into media reports about it Prince Andrew tried to get personal information about Ms Giuffre through your Police Protection Officer (POP).

According to the Mail on Sunday, the prince asked the officer to investigate Ms Giuffre just before the newspaper published a photo in February 2011 of her first meeting with the prince.

A royal source told the BBC that there are currently no plans to remove the title of prince Andrew was born with.

“The headlines are taking a lot of oxygen out of the royal room,” they added, referring to the press about Prince Andrew taking attention away from King Charles’ engagements.

In 2019, the prince repeatedly told BBC Newsnight he did not remember meeting Ms Giuffre “at all” and that they “never had any sexual contact”.

Buckingham Palace has not commented.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother is calling on the king to strip Prince Andrew of his ‘prince’ title.
