Virginia Giuffre, who spoke out against Jeffrey Epstein and Britain's Prince Andrew, "was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking," her family said.

Virginia Giuffre, a prominent survivor of financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes, who alleged Britain’s Prince Andrew abused her when she was a teenager, has died by suicide, her family said. She was 41.

She accused Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, of recruiting her to join their predatory ring. She also sued Prince Andrew for sexual assault.
