Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, announced on Sunday that she is dying after being in a car crash.
According to Giuffre’s recent Instagram post, at the age of 41, she has been diagnosed with renal failure and was informed by doctors that she only has four days left to live. She recounts a severe accident in which she was involved, stating that a school bus traveling at approximately 70mph collided with her vehicle, resulting in significant injuries.
Expressing her readiness to pass away, Giuffre mentioned in her Instagram post that she wishes to see her children one last time before her demise. Alongside her words, she shared a photo showing her body covered in bruises as a result of the accident.
Highlighting events from 2022, it was reported that Prince Andrew settled a legal case with Giuffre, who had accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was just 17 years old. The terms of the settlement included an undisclosed letter in which Prince Andrew acknowledged the suffering endured by Giuffre as a victim of sex trafficking orchestrated by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Andrew’s settlement with Giuffre was reached a month after the terms of a 2009 settlement between Epstein and Giuffre was publicized. Epstein paid Giuffree $500,000 in that case.
Prince Andrew contended that the 2009 settlement legally shielded him from civil lawsuits like the one Giuffre has filed against him. While he was not mentioned by name in that settlement, he presumably argued that he was referenced in it as a “potential defendant.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of child sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years.
Epstein was jailed without bond in July 2019 following allegations that he sex-trafficked dozens of underage girls from 2002 to 2005. The billionaire financier was found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019 — sparking skepticism about the circumstances surrounding his death.
