A prominent Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse victim, Virginia Giuffre, has died by suicide at the age of 41.
Her family announced her death in a statement, saying she committed suicide on her farm in western Australia.
In the statement, Giuffre’s family announced “It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia.”
Giuffre committed suicide after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She claimed she was sexually abused by Prince Andrew at the behest of Epstein’s associate, jailed British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, when she was only 17.
According to her family, “Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors.”
They said “Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure.”
Giuffre’s family noted that “the light of her life’ were her children Christian, Noah, and Emily.”
“It was when she held her newborn daughter in her arms that Virginia realized she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others,” according to them.
The 41-year-old, born Virginia Roberts, grew to prominence after she went public with allegations against the late financier and called for charges to be brought against him.
“There are no words that can express the grave loss we feel today with the passing of our sweet Virginia,’ says her family.
“She was heroic and will always be remembered for her incredible courage and loving spirit.”
“In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight. We know that she is with the angels.”
Jeffrey Epstein died in a New York prison in 2019.
