Virginia Giuffre thought she might 'die a sex slave' at hands of Epstein and his circle, memoir reveals

Virginian-born socialite Virginia Giuffre had feared for her life, fearing that she might "die a sex slave" at the hands of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his network of powerful associates.

According to her forthcoming memoir 'Nobody's Girl', Ms Giuffre was forced into sex trafficking by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex-trafficking charges. The memoir paints a picture of the web of wealthy and influential individuals involved in this abuse.

Ms Giuffre recounts her alleged encounters with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions. She also reveals that she was paid $15,000 for each time she had sex with Epstein, who used his wealth to entice young girls like herself into a cycle of abuse.

Epstein died while awaiting trial on charges related to the abuse of underage girls. The BBC has acquired an advance copy of Ms Giuffre's memoir and will publish it later this week.

A Buckingham Palace source confirmed that Prince Andrew is under scrutiny, as he faces allegations of sexual misconduct with Ms Giuffre in his memoir.

Meanwhile, calls are growing for the removal of Prince Andrew's royal titles amid public outcry over the alleged abuse.

This story is so shocking and heartbreaking... poor Virginia Giuffre, she's been through so much. I'm really concerned about Prince Andrew too, if these allegations are true, it's a huge betrayal of trust and he needs to take responsibility for his actions. The fact that Ghislaine Maxwell got away with this for so long is disturbing. And Epstein's network was like a dark web of powerful people who thought they were above the law... it's disgusting.

I'm not surprised by the public outcry, though. This kind of abuse needs to be exposed and confronted. It's time for accountability, especially from those in positions of power. The fact that Buckingham Palace is under pressure to remove Prince Andrew's titles is a good start, but I think there should be more concrete actions taken against him.

I'm literally shook by what Virginia Giuffre went through I mean, can you even imagine being a victim of sex trafficking and then having to deal with all these powerful people covering it up? It's insane that she had to pay Epstein $15,000 for each time he abused her... like, how much does someone have to be worth before they're held accountable?

And now Prince Andrew is facing all these allegations and I'm just dying to know what really went down between him and Virginia Giuffre... was it true that he molested her THREE TIMES?! I'm so team #JusticeForVirginia right now

omg i cant believe what's going on with prince andrew!!! like, how could ppl let this happen?! he's supposed to be a role model not a creep and now ppl are saying maybe it's time to strip him of his royal titles because let's be real, he's already lost all credibility in my eyes i'm also kinda hyped that virginia giuffre is speaking out about her experiences it takes so much courage and i hope her memoir does an amazing job of sharing her story

OMG u guys I cant even think about this right now... so its out now that Virginia Giuffres story is being told thru her new memoir and it sounds like she was through hell her age is barely 18 in these pics but Epstein and Ghislaine were paying her $15k to hook up lol what kind of sick game is that? i feel bad for her because she was basically sold into sex slavery I wonder if Prince Andrews team can handle the public backlash... its not like he can just 'go away' from this one anymore

I'm so appalled by the stories coming out about Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew's involvement in sex trafficking. It's horrific that Virginia Giuffre had to go through what she did and is still suffering from the trauma. $15,000 for each time she was forced into sex with Epstein is just staggering - it's mind-boggling how powerful people like him used their wealth and influence to exploit young girls.

I'm also really disappointed in Prince Andrew for not speaking out sooner about his interactions with Ms Giuffre. It's understandable that he wants to protect himself, but at the same time, people need to be held accountable for their actions. Removing his royal titles is a step in the right direction, but I think it's also essential to have a thorough investigation into all the allegations and make sure justice is served.

It's just so frustrating that we're still dealing with this kind of abuse and exploitation in our society, and it's even more infuriating when powerful people like Prince Andrew get away with it for so long.

This is getting serious and it's time someone took responsibility... Prince Andrew needs to do a lot more than just be 'scrutinized' by Buckingham Palace He's been dodging accountability for years now and it's not right that he gets to keep his royal titles while the real victims are still struggling

I'm really worried about the people affected by Epstein's abuse - they've been through so much trauma... It's like, you'd think that with all the power and influence, someone would have stepped in to stop him years ago. And now it's like a big ol' mess with Prince Andrew at the center of it, trying to distance himself but I don't know how much damage control can really fix this... The fact that he's still got his royal titles is just, like, infuriating - shouldn't they be stripped away because of what he did? I mean, Giuffre's memoir sounds super raw and honest, hopefully it will bring some closure to her (and others) who went through this nightmare...

OMG girl I'm so sorry to hear you went through this Virginia that takes a lot of courage to speak out about what happened to you & now everyone is finally seeing the truth it's heartbreaking to think about all the other girls who might've been affected by Epstein's network too the fact that you were paid for your abuse is just devastating & I can only imagine how hard it must've been for you to deal with that I'm sending you all my love & support it's amazing that you're speaking out now & giving others a voice as well

Ugh ... just reading about Virginia Giuffre's alleged sex trafficking by Epstein and Maxwell is giving me nightmares . It's so sad that she was made to feel like a sex slave, having to pay $15k for each encounter with Epstein . And now Prince Andrew's name is getting dragged through the mud too... 20 yrs in prison isn't enough for Ghislaine Maxwell, but at least she's finally facing justice . The worst part is that innocent girls like Virginia were exploited by these powerful people . I'm just so done with all this abuse and corruption . Can't we just get rid of the royal titles for Prince Andrew already?

I'm getting so tired of these rich and powerful people thinking they're above the law . Like, just because you've got a fancy title and a fat bank account doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to someone who's vulnerable, right? I mean, Virginia Giuffre was literally forced into sex trafficking by Epstein and his crew... it's just disgusting . And now Prince Andrew is getting in on the action too? It's like they're trying to cover their tracks or something . I don't get why we can't have a conversation about these rich people's behavior without having to deal with all the backroom deals and alliances... it feels like they're more concerned with protecting each other than actually doing what's right .
