Overview

  • Virginia Giuffre, a prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, died by suicide on April 24, 2025, at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia.
  • Her family described her as a 'fierce warrior' who dedicated her life to advocating for survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking through her charity, SOAR, founded in 2015.
  • Giuffre's accusations against Jeffrey Epstein and Britain's Prince Andrew played a central role in publicizing the Epstein scandal and led to a 2022 settlement with Andrew, which included a donation to her charity.

  • Weeks before her death, Giuffre shared on social media that a bus collision had left her in critical condition, further highlighting her ongoing physical and emotional struggles.
