Co-writer of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir says Prince Andrew could still help investigators

The co-writer of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir has said it would be a mistake to think "the fetishisation of young girls" died with Jeffrey Epstein, as she detailed how Prince Andrew could still help with the investigation.

Speaking to ITV News, Amy Wallace, who helped write the book, stated she had "no doubt" about the truth of the allegations Giuffre made about the prince in it.

The book, titled Nobody’s Girl, details Ms. Giuffre’s life and her interactions with Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Prince Andrew has always denied all allegations against him regarding Ms. Giuffre.

The memoir is being published posthumously after Ms. Giuffre died by suicide in April this year. She said she wanted the book published in case of her death.

Ms. Wallace spoke to ITV News Correspondent Robert Moore about the issues the memoir has raised.

Andrew should come forward

Ms. Wallace welcomed the decision for Andrew to give up the title of the Duke of York as a "step in the right direction." She added that Andrew could do more to help the victims of Epstein’s crimes.

Wallace said: "You know Prince Andrew can deny, and he has, repeatedly, that he himself is not a person who did anything wrong.

"I’ll leave it at that, but he was in the houses, he was on the jets, he was on the island, and he could come forward and help investigators, remember he said at one point that he was perfectly willing to do so and then he never that never that helped, never materialized."

Defending Giuffre’s lack of detail

Ms. Wallace also defended Ms. Giuffre, who was often unable to say exactly when the allegations she made about several men happened.

The book, titled Nobody’s Girl, details Ms Giuffre’s life and she grew up and her interactions with Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Ms. Wallace said: "The thing she always said to me about her memory was I may not remember particular dates, times, days of the week, but I remember, as you would if there’s a man on top of you raping you and his face is six inches from your own, you remember that face."

She also said the book was more widely about "misogyny and the fetishisation of young girls," saying "anyone who thinks that those two things died with Jeffrey Epstein when he hung himself in his cell is sadly mistaken."

Ghislaine Maxwell was more monstrous than Epstein

Ms. Wallace said she believed after learning about Ms. Giuffre’s life that Maxwell was "even more ghastly and monstrous" than Epstein because she was a "woman and she used her gender to lure young girls into this den of hell."
