Two days before publication, the BBC obtained Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, a 367-page account that lays out appalling details of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and renewed allegations against Prince Andrew—claims he has repeatedly denied. Giuffre writes she had sex with him three times, including what she calls an “orgy” on Epstein’s island, and recounts medical distress afterward. The book describes sadomasochistic sessions, fear, and physical decline, as well as Maxwell’s role in recruiting her and arranging their meeting. Giuffre voices disappointment at Epstein’s death and a hope for accountability.
