Virginia Giuffre, one of the most outspoken victims of deceased sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has claimed in her posthumous memoir that she was brutally beaten and raped a “well-known Prime Miner” and that she feared she might “die a sex slave” at the hands of Epstein and his circle, the US version of her memoir has revealed, CNN reported.
In the book titled ‘Nobody’s Girl’, Giuffre, who was a prominent accuser of convicted sex offender Epstein wrote that the Prime Miner raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. The book was published in the United States on Tuesday, almost six months after Giuffre took her own life in Australia.

Detailing about Epstein and his circle, Giuffre wrote, “In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people. I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied. I believed that I might die a sex slave.”

In the US version of the memoir, Giuffre claimed that she was raped a man whom she had “taken pains to describe in my legal filings only as a ‘well-known Prime Miner.’” However, in the UK version of the book, the content remains the same but the man has been referred to as a “former miner”.
In the book, Giuffre described how Epstein, while on the Caribbean island, trafficked her to a man who “raped me more savagely than anyone had before”. She wrote that she was 18 when the incident took place, CNN reported.
In one of the passages, Giuffre wrote, “He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me fear for my life. Horrifically, the Prime Miner laughed when he hurt me and got more aroused when I begged him to stop.”
The book also details about her allegations against royal Prince Andrew, who has repeatedly denied all the allegations.
