Nobody's Girl

Die bewegende Lebensgeschichte von Virginia Roberts Giuffre - der Frau, die den Mut hatte, Jeffrey Epstein und Ghislaine Maxwell die Stirn zu bietenVirginia Roberts Giuffre wurde weltweit bekannt als die wohl mutigste Stimme unter den Opfern von Epstein und Maxwell: Sie war es, die an die Öffentlichkeit ging und dadurch letztlich beide Serientäter ins Gefängnis brachte. Ihr Foto mit Prinz Andrew besiegelte dessen gesellschaftlichen Absturz. Doch ihre Geschichte wurde nie vollständig und in ihren eigenen Worten erzählt - bis jetzt.Im April 2025 nahm sich Giuffre das Leben. Sie hinterließ ein Memoir, an dem sie über Jahre gearbeitet hatte, mit dem klaren Wunsch, es nach ihrem Tod zu veröffentlichen. Nobody's Girl ist die schonungslose und eindringliche Geschichte eines Mädchens, das in eine Welt aus Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt hineingezogen wurde - und das trotzdem die Kraft fand, sich zu befreien und für Gerechtigkeit zu kämpfen.Giuffre schildert schonungslos ihre Zeit mit Epstein und Maxwell, die sie und andere junge Frauen an einflussreiche Männer vermittelten. Sie erzählt von dem Missbrauch, den sie bereits als Kind ertragen musste, und von ihrer mutigen Flucht aus Epsteins und Maxwells Fängen im Alter von neunzehn Jahren. Giuffre baute sich ein neues Leben auf und fand nicht nur den Mut, ihre Täter zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen, sondern auch für andere Betroffene einzutreten. Nobody's Girl bewahrt ihre Stimme - und ihr Vermächtnis - für immer.
