Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide

SUMMARY

Virginia Giuffre, a pivotal witness in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scandal, took her own life at 41 in Neergabby, Australia. Her testimony was instrumental in securing Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction and cast a damning spotlight on Prince Andrew and Jean-Luc Brunel. Giuffre claimed Epstein trafficked her to Andrew and Brunel, sparking a 2021 lawsuit against Andrew—settled in 2022—and Brunel’s jailhouse suicide that year.

Born in Florida, Giuffre suffered childhood abuse before Maxwell groomed her for Epstein’s exploitation from 1999 to 2002. Her family mourned, saying, “She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

Recently, Attorney General Pam Bondi re-released redacted Epstein files, slammed as redundant and useless.
