I'm delighted to say that we are blessed in the studio with British journalist Rob Crilly
0:05
who is the only person to have had exclusive access to this memoir ahead of publication next week
0:11
Rob, you're holding on to it very tightly. You're not allowed to do this. This is mine only for the time being
0:16
We have some more exclusive stories to drop over the weekend, but this is it
0:21
Nobody's Girl, a memoir of surviving abuse and fighting for justice by Virginia Roberts-Gefray
0:26
360 pages it's an extraordinary story she details a very unhappy childhood and in excerpts that were
0:36
published by some other outlets this week she talks about how she was approached by Ghislaine
0:40
Maxwell and came into Epstein's orbit but there's plenty more news in here it's basically when she
0:46
hears about the death of Jeffrey Epstein in that prison cell in 2019 she says the news hit me with
0:52
an almost physical force some might imagine I'd be happy that Epstein was dead but I wasn't
0:56
And she goes on to say she was grieving the death of my ability to hold him accountable for what he had done
1:02
He was never going to face his day in court. And she says, I can make a case for either suicide or murder
1:09
You know, the official story is he committed suicide. Rather, he took his own life in his prison cell
1:14
And she said, well, look, that's possible. He'd lost everything. He lost his access to the young women that he was abusing
1:19
He lost his access to power this incredibly powerful circle of men in which he lived But I think that the key thing to me is she builds the case for why somebody might have wanted him dead And this is what she said He always suggested to me that those videotapes he so meticulously collected in the bedrooms and bathrooms of his various houses gave him power over others
1:44
He explicitly talked about using me and what I've been forced to do with certain men as a form of blackmail
1:51
So these men would owe him favors. This has always been the question. Yeah
1:55
We know he had hidden cameras at his mansion. What happened to those videotapes
2:00
They were seized by the FBI. We never heard anything more about them. And then the question is, what did he ever plan to do with them
2:06
Now, we're hearing from Giuffre herself, in the words of Jeffrey Epstein, that this was his blackmail plot
2:15
Whether he ever carried it out is unclear. But this has always been the question, who might have wanted him dead and why
2:21
And she's produced a motive, a clear motive here. Donald Trump comes out of this book pretty well
2:28
Giffray describes being employed at Mar-a-Lago at the start of her career
2:33
when she's approached by Ghislaine Maxwell. He talks about meeting Trump and actually how pleasant he was
2:38
that there was never a problem with him, and that he had thrown, as we know, he had thrown Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago
2:46
because of his behaviour apparently coming on to the daughter of a member
2:50
Trump comes out of it quite well. The problem is there are plenty more stories from this book that are going to come out over the next few days
