The woman, who accused Great Britain of Prince Andrew and other influential men, as a teenager who was traded by unhappy financier Jeffrey Epstein, has died sexually. She was 41.
Virginia Giuffre died on Friday on her farm in Western Australia through suicide, her publicist confirmed.
“She was deeply loving, wise and funny and was a beacon for other survivors and victims,” said publicist Dini von Mueffling in a statement.
“She worshiped her children and many animals. She was more and more concerned with myself than with herself. I will miss her beyond the words. It was the privilege of a life to represent her.”
The Giuffre, born in America, who lived in Australia for years, became an advocate of the survivor of sex trade, after performing for a long time as a central figure in Epstein.
Giuffre said Epstein forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew
Epstein, the wealthy, well-networked New York money manager, died in a New York prison in August 2019, while he was waiting for the US federal family against the federal government’s dozens of girls in teen age and young women.
Giuffre reported publicly after the first investigation ended in an 18-month prison sentence for Epstein, which has concluded a secret contract to avoid the public prosecutor by making guilty, instead relatively low charges at the state level due to prostitution at the state level. He was released in 2009.
In subsequent lawsuits, Giuffre said that she was a spa attendant of teenager in Mar-A-Lago-and-American President Donald Trump Palm Beach Club- when she was addressed by Epstein’s girlfriend and later employed Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000.
Giuffre said that Maxwell had set her as a masseuse for Epstein, but the couple effectively made them a sex inner and put them under pressure not only to delight Epstein, but also his friends and employees. Giuffre said she had been flown around the world around the world to with men, including Prince Andrew, when she was 17 and 18 years old.
The men contested it and stated Giuffre’s credibility. She recognized to change some important details of her account, including the age in which she met Epstein for the first time. But many parts of her history were supported by documents, testimonies and photos – including one of her and Andrew, with his arm around her naked middle in Maxwell’s London town house.
Giuffre said in one of her complaints that she had sex with the Royal three times: in London during her trip from 2001 in Epstein’s New York mans, when she was 17 years old, and on the Jungfern Islands at the age of 18.
Royal settled with Giuffre
Andrew categorically rejected Giffre’s accusations and said that he did not remember having met her.
His rejections blew in his face during a BBC interview in November 2019. The spectators saw a prince who carried out strange refutes – such as the memory of Giuffre’s memory of sweaty dancing by being medically unable to confuse themselves – and showed no empathy for women who said that Epstein had misused them.
Andrew resigned from his royal duties within a few days after the interview. In 2022 he settled with Giuffre for an unknown sum and agreed to provide an “essential donation” to the organization of her survivors.
In a declaration submitted in court it says that the Prince Epstein was a sex dealer and Giuffre “an established victim of abuse”.
In some cases, she also submitted complaints against Epstein and other cases associated with it. In one case, she dropped her claims against a prominent US lawyer and said that she might have identified him as one of the men to whom Epstein provided her.
Epstein’s death ended the hope of his prosecutors to take him into account.
Maxwell was convicted of sex trade and conspiracy for the federal government in 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. She said she was not to blame for Epstein’s abuse.
The prosecutors decided not to accept Giuffre’s allegations in the case of Maxwell, but Giuffre later informed the court that the British social “opened the door to hell”.
Giuffuner also remembered sexual abuse of childhood
Giuffre, born in Virginia Roberts, told interviewer that her childhood had broken when she was sexually abused by a man who knew her family. She later ran away from home and experienced more abuse, she said.
She said she met her husband today in 2002 when she completed a massage training in Thailand in Epstein’s behest. She married, moved to Australia and had a family.
Last month, Giuffre’s publicist said that she was taken to the hospital after a serious accident. She neither answered questions about the date, place, nature or other accidents or the accuracy of an Instagram post that comes from Giuffre on Sunday, and said she was in a car that was hit by a school bus and that her forecast was difficult.
The Associated Press does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault, unless they have registered publicly, like Giuffre.
