While Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew hid behind vast fortunes, confidential settlements, and ironclad NDAs to silence their accusers, no shield of power could ever protect Virginia Giuffre from the deepest wounds of all—the ones inflicted in childhood. In her posthumous memoir, Giuffre alleges that the nightmare began at home, with repeated sexual abuse by her own father, Sky Roberts, starting as young as seven, while her mother remained silent and indifferent. These foundational betrayals left invisible scars of mistrust and vulnerability that made her heartbreakingly susceptible when Maxwell groomed her as a teen at Mar-a-Lago, pulling her into Epstein’s elite trafficking ring. Roberts has strenuously denied the allegations. But if the horrors started long before the private jets and palaces, what else remains hidden in Giuffre’s untold story?
While Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew shielded themselves with vast fortunes, confidential settlements, and ironclad NDAs to silence their accusers, no amount of power could ever protect Virginia Giuffre from the deepest wounds of all—the ones inflicted in childhood.
In her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published in October 2025, Giuffre alleges that the nightmare began at home. Starting as young as seven, she claims she suffered repeated sexual abuse at the hands of her own father, Sky Roberts, while her mother remained silent and indifferent. She also describes abuse by a close family friend. These foundational betrayals, she writes, carved invisible scars of mistrust and profound vulnerability that made her heartbreakingly susceptible when, as a troubled 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, Ghislaine Maxwell groomed her and pulled her into Jeffrey Epstein’s elite trafficking ring.
Sky Roberts has strenuously and repeatedly denied the allegations against him, stating in the book and to media that he never abused his daughter and only learned of Epstein through news reports. The family remains divided, with some siblings believing Giuffre’s accounts.
But if the horrors started long before the private jets, palaces, and infamous island, what else remains hidden in Giuffre’s untold story?
Nobody’s Girl, co-authored with journalist Amy Wallace and completed before Giuffre’s death, goes far beyond the Epstein scandal that dominated headlines. It paints a fuller, more devastating portrait of a life marked by layered trauma—from early childhood molestation that shattered her sense of safety, to years of coercion and exploitation by Epstein and Maxwell, to the personal struggles that haunted her even after escape.
Giuffre details how Epstein and Maxwell preyed precisely on her insecurities, born from that tumultuous childhood. They offered the illusion of belonging and opportunity to a girl already conditioned to silence and survival. She describes being trafficked to powerful men, including three alleged encounters with Prince Andrew (vehemently denied by him, settled civilly in 2022 without admission of liability) and, in some editions, references to abuse by a “well-known prime minister.”
The book also reveals Giuffre’s complex later life. While she portrays her husband, Robert Giuffre—the man who helped her flee Epstein at 19 and with whom she built a family in Australia—as supportive in much of the manuscript, a foreword by Wallace addresses late-breaking allegations. In the weeks before her suicide in April 2025, Giuffre publicly accused Robert of physical abuse during their marriage and was in a bitter custody battle over their three children. Robert has denied these claims.
Giuffre’s final years were overshadowed by relentless scrutiny, threats, and the cumulative toll of lifelong trauma. At 41, she took her own life on her Western Australian farm, leaving instructions for the memoir’s publication. In its pages, she insists: “Sex trafficking victims are not born—they are made,” often starting with unaddressed abuse in the home.
What remains hidden? Perhaps the full extent of how early betrayal enabled predators like Epstein to operate with impunity. Or the untold stories of countless other girls whose childhood wounds went unnoticed until it was too late. Giuffre’s memoir forces a reckoning: the most elite-enabled crimes often trace back to the most intimate failures—to protect children in their own homes.
Her voice may be gone, but Nobody’s Girl ensures her truth endures, challenging us to confront not just the monsters in mansions, but the silence that lets them thrive.
