Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew, has died. She was 41.
The California mother-of-three was found dead Friday from an apparent suicide on her Neergabby, Australia, farm, where she had spent the last few years.
Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein when she was 16, before being trafficked to Prince Andrew.
“They seemed like nice people, so I trusted them, and I told them I’d had a really hard time in my life up until then – I’d been a runaway, I’d been abused,” she confessed to the BBC.
“That was the worst thing I could have told them because now they knew how vulnerable I was.”
Since she settled with Prince Andrew in 2023 for an undisclosed amount, Giuffre founded an advocacy organization for survivors and lived a quiet life with her husband of 22 years and their three children.
Late last month, she claimed that she had “four days to live” after a near-fatal crash that caused her kidney failure.
“Her courage pushed me to fight harder, and her strength was awe-inspiring. The world has lost an amazing human being today. Rest in peace, my sweet angel,” Giuffre’s attorney said in a statement.
