Virginia Giuffre, one of the most outspoken accusers of Jeffrey Epstein and Britain's Prince Andrew, has died by suicide, her family announced in a statement.
The family described Giuffre as "a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse" and praised her courage in confronting some of the world's most powerful figures.
Giuffre became internationally known for her role in exposing Epstein’s global sex trafficking network and for her allegations against Prince Andrew — allegations that led to a high-profile settlement and significant damage to the royal’s reputation.
Her death marks a tragic end to a life spent battling against exploitation and seeking justice not only for herself but for countless other victims.
