Virginia Giuffre was beaten, raped by a ‘well-known Prime Minister’: Memoir

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent survivors, alleges in her upcoming memoir that a “well-known prime minister” violently raped and beat her – an assault so savage, she says, that it pushed her to flee Epstein’s control. 

In ‘Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice’, to be published posthumously next week, Giuffre recounts being left bloodied and terrified after the attack, which she describes as a turning point in her life.

Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year aged 41, refers to her abuser only as the “Prime Minister,” saying she feared retaliation if she revealed his name. In past court filings, she accused former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak of raping her, an allegation he has repeatedly denied.

Violent encounter on Epstein’s Island

According to Giuffre’s account, she met the “Prime Minister” on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands in 2002, when she was 18. Ordered to accompany him to a cabana, she said the situation quickly turned violent.

“He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me in fear for my life,” she wrote. “Horrifically, the Prime Minister laughed when he hurt me and got more aroused when I begged him to stop. I emerged from the cabana bleeding from my mouth, vagina, and anus.”

Giuffre said the politician “raped me more savagely than anyone had before.”

Epstein’s callous response

After the incident, Giuffre begged Epstein not to send her back. “I got down on my knees and pleaded with him,” she wrote, as detailed in an excerpt provided to The Post. “I don’t know if Epstein feared the man or if he owed him a favour, but he wouldn't make any promises, saying coldly of the politician's brutality, ‘You'll get that sometimes.’”

Despite her pleas, Epstein arranged for her to see the same man again aboard his private jet, the Lolita Express. Giuffre said this second encounter was less violent but that she remained consumed by fear. “I didn’t know it then, but my second interaction with the Prime Minister was the beginning of the end for me,” she wrote.

Breaking free from Epstein’s grip

The ordeal, Giuffre said, forced her to confront the extent of Epstein’s manipulation. “After the attack, I couldn’t stay a fool. Having been treated so brutally and then seeing Epstein’s callous reaction to how terrorised I felt, I had to accept that Epstein meted out praise merely as a manipulation to keep me subservient,” she wrote. “Epstein cared only about Epstein.”

Later that year, she said Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell propositioned her to carry their child, promising her homes, wealth, and constant care – but only if she gave up any legal rights to the baby. Giuffre said she feared they planned to use the child for trafficking and began plotting her escape soon after.

She eventually fled Epstein’s inner circle but remained haunted by “the greedy, cruel look on the Prime Minister’s face as he watched me beg for my life.”

Links between Barak and Epstein

Barak has denied any wrongdoing or connection to Epstein’s sex-trafficking network. Records, however, show that Epstein provided several million dollars to a security company linked to Barak, and that the Israeli politician visited Epstein’s private island and travelled on his jet.

Giuffre, who had also accused Prince Andrew of sexually exploiting her through trafficking, finished writing the manuscript before taking her own life in April, according to her publisher, Alfred A Knopf.
