Virginia Giuffre, a well-known survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring and a strong advocate for victims of sexual abuse, has died by suicide at the age of 41, her family announced in a statement to NBC News on Friday.
Giuffre passed away at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia, where she had lived with her husband and three children since 2019.
“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” her family stated. They characterized her as “a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” emphasizing that “the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”
Giuffre played a pivotal role in raising awareness about Epstein's abuse network. She provided key information to law enforcement that aided in the conviction of Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
In addition, she filed a highly publicized civil lawsuit against Britain’s Prince Andrew, claiming he sexually abused her when she was 17. This case was settled out of court in 2022, with Prince Andrew denying the allegations.
Jeffrey Epstein died in a New York jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide, but it has continued to attract intense public scrutiny and speculation due to the high-profile individuals associated with his case.
Court documents unsealed last year also suggested a potential link between Giuffre and Ruslana Korshunova, a Kazakh-Russian model who fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment in 2008. Korshunova had reportedly flown on Epstein's private jet to his private island, Little St. James, two years prior to her death. Following her death, Giuffre received an inquiry from her attorney asking if she was familiar with the young model.
In March, Giuffre disclosed on Instagram that she had experienced a car accident involving a school bus and was suffering from renal failure. She indicated that doctors had given her “four days to live” and posted a photo of herself with visible bruises. Her family later clarified that she had been hospitalized and was receiving medical care.
Her brother, Danny Wilson, told NBC News that she had endured “real physical pain” and “suffered from renal failure,” but emphasized that “the mental pain was worse.”
Giuffre’s attorney, Sigrid McCawley, referred to her as “a dear friend and an incredible champion for other victims,” while her representative, Dini von Mueffling, described her as “one of the most extraordinary human beings I have ever had the honor to know.”
