Virginia Giuffre, the Australian-based victim of Jeffrey Epstein, claims in her posthumous memoir she was sexually abused by her father – an allegation the man denies.
In Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, which will be released on Tuesday, Giuffre said her childhood abuse meant she was a “perfect victim” for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited her to work as a masseur at the age of 16.
“I know about monsters,” she wrote in an excerpt obtained by The Telegraph. “As a child, I experienced nearly every kind of abuse: Incest, parental neglect, severe corporal punishment, molestation, rape.
“As a teen, I had been sexually trafficked by another pedophile even before I met Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”
Ms Giuffre alleged that her father, Sky Roberts, sexually abused her from childhood and later introduced her to a male friend and his daughter.
She claimed that one night, one of the men suggested they “trade” their daughters for the evening.
Ms Giuffre has previously claimed she was abused by a family friend but it is the first time she has accused her father of abusing her.
In a note to Giuffre’s memoir collaborator, Sky Roberts denied abusing his daughter and said men who abused children should be “castrated”.
“Just to straighten this out, I never abused my daughter and didn’t know that (other man) did that either. If I had known about that, I would have been very angry and taken care of the situation,” he said, according to the book.
“I gave my daughter everything she ever wanted and never touched her sexually.”
Ms Giuffre's’s memoir details how she was recruited by a Miami-based sex trafficker at the age of 15 before her father got her a job at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s Palm Beach club.
She was spotted by Maxwell as she walked to work one morning, she said, and taken to meet Epstein.
GIUFFRE CLAIMS SHE WAS RAPED BY PM
In her explosive memoir, Ms Giuffre claims she brutally bloodied, beaten and raped by a “well-known prime minister” in a series of savage encounters that finally helped the teenager break free from the sex trafficker’s spell.
In her posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for MsGiuffre recalled begging Epstein to step in after the unnamed politician allegedly forced her to beg for her life – but the pedophile coldly told her it was simply part of her job.
“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,” Ms Giuffre wrote, according to an excerpt shared with The Post.
“Epstein cared only about Epstein.”
Ms Giuffre simply referred to the deranged man as the “Prime Minister,” saying she was afraid the brute would “seek to hurt” her if she printed his name.
In her memoir, which she penned in the years before her tragic suicide at her farm in Western Australia last April, Ms Giuffre said she first met the “Prime Minister” on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands some time in 2002, when she was just 18.
She was ordered to escort him to a cabana, but the man made it clear as soon as they were alone that “he wanted violence”.
“He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me in fear for my life. 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. For days, it hurt to breathe and to swallow,” Ms Giuffre wrote.
The politician “raped me more savagely than anyone had before”.
She immediately rushed to Epstein and begged him not to send her back to the Prime Minister.
“I got down on my knees and pleaded with him. 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,’” she continued.
Some time later, Epstein sent her back to the politician for a second encounter conducted entirely in a cabin aboard the Lolita Express.
Although the experience was far less violent, Ms Giuffre spent the entire hour in fear he would suddenly strike or strangle her, she wrote.
Ms Giuffre admitted that before the violent experience, she had given Epstein the benefit of the doubt and believed he cared for the girls he sex trafficked.
She was not completely naive, she wrote, acknowledging that his “predilection for childlike girls was a sickness, but that in his twisted way he meant well”.
His indifference to her fear and injuries from the Prime Minister forced the 18-year-old to face the truth.
Chillingly, Ms Giuffre then predicted her own death in the passage, saying she would not survive a life of sex trafficking and would either take her own life or die at the hands of one of Epstein’s friends.
“I didn’t know it then, but my second interaction with the Prime Minister was the beginning of the end for me,” Ms Giuffre said, adding she stopped recruiting other young girls for Epstein as he had forced her to do in the past.
The final breaking point came that summer when Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, pleaded with Ms Giuffre to carry their child – a proposal that came with mansions, wealth and round-the-clock nannies, but would require her to sign away any legal rights.
The teen immediately worried they were planning to use the baby as a future trafficking victim and began planning her escape plan.
She left the couple’s grasp not long after, but her experiences haunted her for the rest of her life – particularly the “greedy, cruel look on the Prime Minister’s face as he watched me beg for my life”.
Records show he had visited Epstein on his private island and had boarded his private plane.
