A posthumous memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s best-known accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has sold 1m copies worldwide in just the two months after its release.<\/p>\n
Publisher Alfred A Knopf announced on Tuesday that more than half the sales for Nobody\u2019s Girl came out of North America; in the US, the book is now in its 10th printing after an initial run of 70,000 copies. Giuffre\u2019s book, co-written by author-journalist Amy Wallace, was published in early October.<\/p>\n
The memoir helped revive criticism of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a>, formerly a British prince, whom Giuffre alleged had sex with her when she was 17. And it heightened demands that the Justice Department release its files on Epstein, who killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n Giuffre died by suicide in April at age 41.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a bittersweet moment for us,\u201d Giuffre\u2019s family, including siblings Sky Roberts and Danny Wilson, said in a statement. \u201cWe are enormously proud of our sister, and the impact she continues to have on the world. We\u2019re also filled with so much sorrow that she couldn\u2019t be here to witness the impact of her words. In her absence, our family remains committed to ensuring her voice is everlasting.\u201d<\/p>\n Within weeks of Giuffre\u2019s book being published, King Charles III stripped Mountbatten-Windsor of his remaining titles and evicted him from his royal residence.<\/p>\n Mountbatten-Windsor has long denied Giuffre\u2019s claims but stepped down from royal duties after a disastrous November 2019 BBC interview in which he attempted to rebut her allegations.<\/p>\n He paid millions in an out-of-court settlement in 2022 after Giuffre filed a civil suit against him in New York. While he didn\u2019t admit wrongdoing, he acknowledged Giuffre\u2019s suffering as a victim of sex trafficking.<\/p>\n This week Giuffre\u2019s family expressed their \u201cdeep disappointment\u201d<\/a> after the Metropolitan police announced Mountbatten-Windsor will not face a criminal investigation in the UK over allegations against him.<\/p>\n In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is 13 11 14.
