Virginia Giuffre was still haunted by the "hungry ghosts" of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell decades after she escaped their "house of shame", her posthumous memoir reveals.

Warning: This story contains details of child sexual abuse that readers may find distressing.

Giuffre, who died by suicide in April at her property in Neergabby , about 80 kilometres north of Perth, was a prominent accuser of Epstein.
