Giuffre also writes in painful detail that her father, Sky, sexually molested her, including trading her to a family friend, when she was between 7 and 11 years old. He has “strenuously” denied doing so, according to Wallace, who corroborated Giuffre’s account with half a dozen close confidantes. The family friend spent 14 months in prison for abusing another minor, and a decade as a registered sex offender...
The rest is horror story. (“
Please don’t stop reading,” Giuffre writes at one point, acknowledging the cumulative effect of her “trauma reel.”) Sex with Marvin Minsky, an M.I.T. scientist 56 years her senior, his face “shriveled like one of those folk-art dolls whose heads are dried-up apples”; orgies staffed by the model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, who —
like Epstein —
died by suicide in prison; choking, beating and bloodying from a former prime minister, whom she refused to name because “I fear that this man will seek to hurt me if I say his name here.”
Having been ordered to tuck Epstein, her chief tormentor, into pink satin sheets at night, and shown his snapshots of underage nude girls as if they were etchings, Giuffre still summons the compassion to speculate that he, too, may have been abused as a child
Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s posthumous “Nobody’s Girl” doesn’t break political news, but might break your heart.
