Virginia Giuffre

Virginia Louise Giuffre (, JOO-fray; née Roberts; August 9, 1983 – April 25, 2025) was an Australian and American advocate for survivors of sex trafficking and one of the most prominent accusers of Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre provided detailed allegations to media outlets about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She first alleged that Epstein ran a trafficking ring, outsourcing girls for sexual services to other powerful men, in 2011. In 2011, Giuffre first described meeting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to the Daily Mail; the reporter wrote "there is no suggestion that there was any sexual contact between Virginia and Andrew" in the interview. Giuffre later alleged that she had been trafficked by Epstein to Andrew, and raped on three occasions. Her 2019 interview with the BBC shifted public opinion against the prince. Andrew denied the allegations. In 2021, she filed the civil suit Virginia Giuffre v. Prince Andrew. The lawsuit was settled in February 2022. Andrew paid Giuffre an undisclosed amount, made a donation to her charity, denied wrongdoing, and settled without admission of liability. Giuffre pursued criminal and civil actions against Epstein and Maxwell, suing Maxwell for defamation in 2015 after Maxwell called her a "liar"; with the case settled in 2017 for an undisclosed sum. In 2015, Giuffre founded Victims Refuse Silence, a United States-based non-profit organization supporting survivors of abuse, which relaunched as Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR) in 2021. In 2014 she claimed Alan Dershowitz sexually abused her (which he denied), and then in 2022 retracted those claims. According to documents released in 2026 as part of the Epstein Files, FBI investigators were unable to substantiate that Epstein 'lent' girls out to other powerful men, and stated in a 2019 memo that she gave 'shifting accounts', and made public statements described as 'sensationalized' or 'demonstrably inaccurate'. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025. Her memoir, Nobody's Girl, was published posthumously in October 2025.

• Virginia Giuffre | Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince ...

  ## Early life Giuffre (pronounced JIFF-ree) was born Virginia Roberts in Sacramento, California, in 1983; she often used the nickname Jenna. Her parents, Lynn Trude Cabell and Sky William Roberts, had each been married before, and Giuffre had two stepbrothers. Roberts worked as a maintenance man at apartment and condo buildings; Giuffre described him to the Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown as a “jack of all trades.” When Giuffre was four, her family moved to Loxahatchee, Florida, where they lived on a 2-acre (1-hectare) property surrounded by open land. The family kept horses, chickens, and goats, and Giuffre often went horseback riding. [...] Virginia Giuffre (born August 9, 1983, Sacramento, California, U.S.—died April 25, 2025, Neergabby, Western Australia) was an advocate for victims of sex trafficking and one of the principal accusers of Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre said she worked as part of Epstein’s operation and was forced to sleep with him and other powerful men starting when she was 16. She later moved to Australia, sued Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and started an organization devoted to helping other victims. She died by suicide in April 2025. ## Early life [...] ## Speaking out Virginia Giuffre said that the birth of her daughter in 2010 inspired her to speak publicly about her experiences. In 2011 she became the first of Epstein’s victims to give up her anonymity and describe her experiences. She sold her story (and a now-infamous picture of her with Andrew and Maxwell) to the British tabloid The Mail on Sunday for $160,000. In 2015 she started a nonprofit organization called Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), to support victims of sex trafficking and bring an end to the crime.

  Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. She said she wasn't to blame for Epstein's abuse. Prosecutors elected not to include Giuffre's allegations in the Maxwell case, but Giuffre later told the court that the British socialite had "opened the door to hell." Giuffre, born Virginia Roberts, told interviewers that her childhood was shattered when she was sexually abused as a grade-schooler by a man her family knew. She later ran away from home and endured more abuse, she said. She said she met her now-husband in 2002 while taking massage training in Thailand at Epstein's behest. She married, moved to Australia and had a family. Giuffre founded an advocacy charity, SOAR, in 2015. [...] Giuffre came forward publicly after the initial investigation ended in an 18-month Florida jail term for Epstein, who made a secret deal to avoid federal prosecution by pleading guilty instead to relatively minor state-level charges of soliciting prostitution. He was released in 2009. In subsequent lawsuits, Giuffre said she was a teenage spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago — President Donald Trump's Palm Beach club — when she was approached in 2000 by Epstein's girlfriend and later employee, Ghislaine Maxwell. [...] Giuffre founded an advocacy charity, SOAR, in 2015. Giuffre separated from her husband and children this year. She had been charged with breaching a family violence restraining order over an incident in February, and was set to appear in court in June in the city of Perth, where her estranged husband and children live. She had yet to enter a plea to the charge. A conviction would have carried a potential maximum sentence of two years in prison.
