Virginia Giuffre, a survivor of the sex trafficking scheme of Jeffrey Epstein and accuser of Prince Andrew, passed away on April 25, 2025, three weeks after she reported being involved in a car accident. In a statement following the news of her death, the Giuffre family described her as a «strong warrior in the fight against sexual violence and sex trafficking» and a «light that lifted many survivors», - according to The New York Times.
Below you will learn everything we know about Giuffre, how she died, and the car accident she was involved in.
Giuffre was 41 years old when she died.
Best known as a voice against Epstein and Prince Andrew, Giuffre sued Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2009 for recruiting her into their sex trafficking network when she was still a minor. She also accused them of forcing her to have sex with Prince Andrew. At the time in her lawsuit, Giuffre identified herself as Jane Doe 102.
In her lawsuit against Epstein, Giuffre said she was recruited into his sex trafficking network in 2000 while working in the locker room at Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago. According to Giuffre, Maxwell invited her to work as a masseuse for Epstein during his travels, and then Maxwell and Epstein prepared her for sexual acts with wealthy men.
In 2015, Giuffre became the first of Epstein’s survivors to come forward publicly with her name. «Ghislaine told me I needed to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey», - Giuffre said at the time.
In 2021, Giuffre sued Andrew, and he agreed to a settlement in 2022. At the time, the prince — younger brother of King Charles III — praised Giuffre for coming forward with her story and promised to «express his regrets» for his association with Epstein, «supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking and supporting its victims», - according to the NYT.
Giuffre announced that she was given four days to live due to kidney failure. She was hospitalized after being hit by a bus, which was said to be traveling at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, approximately equivalent to miles per hour.
On April 25, 2025, the Giuffre family confirmed that she had taken her own life, according to a statement received by NBC News.
«With completely broken hearts, we announce that Virginia passed away last night on her farm in Western Australia», - the statement read. «She lost her life to suicide after being a victim of sexual violence and sex trafficking her entire life. Virginia was a strong warrior in the fight against sexual violence and sex trafficking. She was a light that lifted many survivors», - the statement read. «In the end, the weight of abuse became so unbearable that Virginia could no longer cope with its burden».
On March 30, 2025, Giuffre reported that she had been hospitalized after a car accident and was diagnosed with kidney failure. She shared a selfie on Instagram with visible bruises on her face.
«This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with details, but I think it’s important to note that when a school bus hits you at 110 km, when we were slowing down for a turn, whatever was made of your car could be like a tin can», - Giuffre wrote in her caption. «I have kidney failure, I was given four days to live, I am being transferred to a specialized urology hospital. I am ready to go, just not until I see my children one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. Shit in one hand and wish in the other, and I guarantee you at the end of the day there will still be shit».
Giuffre concluded her post, bidding farewell to her supporters, writing: «Thank you all for being wonderful people of the world and for being a big part of my life. God bless you all xx Virginia».
In 2023, Giuffre shared that she had undergone spine surgery on Instagram
