Description

Virginia Giuffre said she feared she might "die a sex slave" at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his circle, her posthumous memoir revealed. 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 says 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 any wrongdoing.

If prince Andrew had no idea who Virginia Giuffre was, then why did he pay her millions just so she drops the case against him?

"More days of pain ahead" - for the palace?! Virginia's life was one of pain. Forget removing titles, why has Andrew not even been questioned by police? This is a level of UK corruption history will not look favourably upon. No one should be above the law.

This is a distraction. Andrew Windsor's activities are well documented and widely known. The public wants to know the other names.

He allegedly shared her social security number with his personal security in an attempt to ‘dig dirt’ on her, which in the US is a crime that carries up to 15 years in jail. Not that he’ll ever see the inside of a cell.

Why did Prince Andrew visit and stay with Epstein in New York, after he was released from prison for soliciting a minor, one of many, why did the queen pay 12 million pounds for someone he doesn't remember meeting, why won't he go back and speak to the authorities in America, these questions need to be answered.
