Virginia Giuffre, the most representative victim of the sexual assault of the late American financier Epstein, committed suicide in Australia four months ago at the age of 41.
On the just passed Sunday, Knopf Publishing Group, a subsidiary of Random House, announced that Juffre's memoir "Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice" is scheduled to be officially released on October 21st.
The author of the book is Amy Wallace, a business journalist with a long-standing connection to Juffre. Wallace's previous works include "Innovation Company" co authored with Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, and "Death Chair" co authored with former General Electric CEO Immelt.
Juffre grew up in Florida, USA since childhood and has had interactions with both Epstein and US President Trump. She has three children and has settled on a farm in western Australia in recent years. After her death, her family claimed that Juffre was a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and trafficking, and ultimately could not bear the psychological trauma.
In 2021, Zhu Frey filed a lawsuit in New York accusing Prince Andrew of committing three sexual assaults on himself with the help of Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, knowing that he was underage.
On March 24th of this year, Juffre was involved in a serious car accident in Australia. It is reported that she wrote in an email to Wallace on April 1st that this book exposes systemic loopholes in the regulation of cross-border trafficking of vulnerable groups in the United States, so even if she unfortunately passes away, she requests Wallace and the publisher to ensure smooth distribution.
A spokesperson for Knoff Publishing Group refused to provide details of Epstein's "Lolita Island" clients mentioned in the new book, only stating that there were many celebrities and disturbing, heartbreaking new details. This was her first public discussion of Andrew since the 2022 out of court settlement, but there were indeed "no allegations of Trump abuse".
Faced with public pressure, Trump revealed in July that Juffre had worked at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida before Epstein "stole" her.
Before last year's election, Trump hinted on a podcast that if he won the election, he would order the public disclosure of Epstein's client list for organized sex trafficking.
Two months ago, the US Department of Justice released court documents related to Epstein on its website, but the content is basically consistent with the documents that have been circulating in the public domain for many years. There is no sensational material that conspiracy theory supporters hope to see, let alone a so-called client list, which has caused dissatisfaction among some conservatives.
James Comer, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, announced on August 18th that the federal Department of Justice has agreed to provide the committee with documents related to the Epstein case, but organizing the documents will take time to ensure that information on underage victims and other content is not made public.
