In her fearless posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, Virginia Giuffre recounts a blood-chilling moment on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island: at just 18, she was brutally strangled into unconsciousness by a “prominent prime minister”—long linked in court filings to former Israeli leader Ehud Barak—who laughed sadistically as she bloodied and begged for mercy. Giuffre describes the savage assault in raw detail, his hands tightening during forced sex, deriving sick pleasure from her terror and desperation, leaving her battered and fearing for her life. Epstein dismissed her pleas with indifference, calling it “part of the job.” This horrifying ordeal, she writes, became the breaking point—the spark that ignited her determination to escape his trafficking web at 19 and fight back. From beyond the grave, Giuffre’s words expose the monstrous entitlement of the elite. How many more powerful figures hid behind Epstein’s shadow?
In her fearless posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published in October 2025, Virginia Giuffre recounts a blood-chilling moment on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island: at just 18, she was brutally strangled into unconsciousness by a “prominent prime minister”—long linked in court filings to former Israeli leader Ehud Barak—who laughed sadistically as she bloodied and begged for mercy.
Giuffre describes the 2002 assault in raw, unflinching detail: sent to a cabana on Little St. James, she endured forced sex that escalated into savage violence. The politician repeatedly choked her until she blacked out, deriving pleasure from her terror as blood trickled and she pleaded for her life. Battered and fearing death, she confronted Epstein, begging never to return—only for the financier to dismiss it indifferently as “part of the job.” Despite her trauma, Epstein later flew her via the Lolita Express for a second, less violent encounter, leaving her haunted by the man’s cruel gaze.
Giuffre anonymized her attacker as the “Prime Minister,” citing fear of retaliation. However, multiple reports—including from NDTV, The New York Post, and fact-checking sources—note that in prior court filings from her 2015 lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell and related litigation (unsealed over time), she accused former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak of sexual assault. Barak, who had financial ties to Epstein and visited his properties, has repeatedly and categorically denied any wrongdoing, involvement in trafficking, or the specific allegations, calling them false.
This ordeal marked Giuffre’s breaking point, shattering illusions of protection and fueling her resolve to escape Epstein’s web at age 19. Co-authored with journalist Amy Wallace before her suicide in April 2025 at age 41, the memoir preserves her voice amid lifelong trauma—from childhood abuse to years as Epstein’s “sex slave.”
Giuffre’s testimony helped convict Maxwell and led to Prince Andrew’s 2022 civil settlement (without liability admission). Yet her account highlights systemic failures: powerful men evaded accountability despite documented associations.
From beyond the grave, Giuffre’s words expose elite entitlement and demand justice. As the Department of Justice faces today’s December 19, 2025, deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act to release investigative materials, questions intensify: How many more figures hid behind Epstein’s shadow, shielded by power and silence?
