    Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, has died by suicide aged 41, her family has said.

    Ms Giuffre was one of the most outspoken accusers of convicted sex offenders Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his former girlfriend. She alleged they trafficked her to the Duke of York when she was 17, which Prince Andrew has strenuously denied.

    Relatives said in a statement on Friday that she had been a "fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse", and that the "toll of abuse... became unbearable".

    "She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking," they said.

    The statement described the mother of three "as the light that lifted so many survivors" and said she died on Friday at her farm in Western Australia.

    West Australia police said they were called to a home in the Neergabby area on Friday night, where Ms Giuffre was found unresponsive.

    A statement continued: "The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious."

    Ms Giuffre - who was born in the US - had been living with her children and husband Robert in the suburb of North Perth, although recent reports suggested the couple had split after 22 years of marriage.

    Three weeks ago, Ms Giuffre posted on Instagram to say she had been seriously injured in a car accident, which her family later said she had not intended to make public. Local police later disputed the severity of the crash.

    In a statement, Ms Giuffre's long-time spokesperson Dini von Mueffling described her as "one of the most extraordinary human beings I have ever had the honour to know".

    She said Ms Giuffre was a "beacon to other survivors and victims" and that "it was the privilege of a lifetime to represent her".

    After making her abuse allegations public, Ms Giuffre became a prominent campaigner and was closely associated with the Me Too movement.

    Ms Giuffre alleged that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to Prince Andrew when she was 17.

    The prince, who has denied all claims against him, reached an out-of-court settlement with her in 2022.

    The settlement included a statement in which he expressed regret for his association with Epstein but contained no admission of liability or apology.

    Ms Giuffre said she became a victim of sex trafficking when she was a teenager.

    She said she met Maxwell, a British socialite, in 2000.

    From there, she said she was introduced to American financier Epstein and alleged years of abuse by him and his associates.

    Epstein took his own life in prison in 2019, where he was being held awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

    He was previously convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

    Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the US for her role in Epstein's trafficking and abuse.

    Don't forget Trump was mentioned 60+ times and has been sued twice by a girl who was 13 when he raped her.

    You are completely obsessed with Trump. You need professional help. That said, all the lefties on here are. You guys spend all day on the internet talking about him. Go outside and do something with yourself

    I have TRUTH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME - I can't stand having a corrupt pedophile as President.

    The question is why are you ok with it?

    We aren't going to move on, integrity matters, Trump is a convicted felon, and should be in prison - can't believe people are ok with voting in a career criminal.

    I didn't vote for Trump. I can't stand him but I have to deal with it. I have no other choice. We were in a terrible position as a country. The dems ran Kamala Harris who nobody can stand. Trump won by default. If Biden was healthy he would have trounced Trump.

    Again, I didn't vote for him. I certainly wasn't going to vote for Harris either though. I don't think many people are ok with it. Trump isn't popular outside of his MAGA supporters. People don't like him. You need to let it go. Spending all day on a basketball message board talking about him non stop isn't making any difference. It's unhealthy. Just my opinion

    I would rather have TDS than to be weak enough mentally to allow myself to be gaslit by someone who spends all day on a forum spreading pro MAGA propaganda telling me I’m the one who needs to just chill out on Trump and try to waive a wand in my face by telling me the obvious threats aren’t that big of a deal at all.

    The number 1 tool that dictatorships use is propaganda tricks to try to get the population to become numb, cynical, and just stay quite.

    This gaslighting might work in Russia, but I’ll be damned if I’m just gonna sit here and let activists like you tell me what we should think or feel.

    this is a thread about Jeffrey Epstein which is oftentimes bumped by right wing anti woke conservative posters somehow trying to implicate the left, all the while ignoring that Democrats and Republican elites alike are being implicated in the Epstein scandal.

    like somehow the files are going to show Bill Clinton is guilty; but in reality, a scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein automatically involves Donald Trump.

    Whether or not you voted for him is irrelevant. Donald Trump himself associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump himself flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. Donald Trump himself was accused of raping a woman-then a teenager, personally introduced by Jeffrey Epstein, whose testimony in court has somehow magically disappeared.

    everyone keeps bumping this thread as if it doesn’t implicate Donald Trump when in a normal non polarized, non divisive political climate it would spell trouble for the accused rapist who happens to be POTUS.

    Show me one example of me spreading MAGA propaganda. Also, I'm fat from on this forum all day. This post is a perfect example of what I said earlier. Most of the left on here are liars and hypocrites

    Yawn. Not surprised that you had to parrot what I said. Someone who named themselves jo mama obviously lacks creativity

    I didn't bump the thread. I clicked on a thinking there had been new information come to light in the situation. I just find it ridiculous that certain posters make everything about Trump. It stills in the GARM, Astros and Texans sub forums too. It gets old after a while. I wouldn't keep bringing up that I didn't vote for him if the left posters here didn't keep saying that I did (despite me saying long before he was elected I wasn't voting) and that I'm MAGA. Of course when I ask for examples they can't provide them. Again, it goes to my point that most left leaning posters on here are liars and hypocrites

    That's literally all he does, b**** like a Karen about anything involving "the libs" but avoiding the thread topic like the plague. It's sometimes hilarious to watch though...

    You are an immature child. I'm pretty sure you're wearing a helmet right now and drooling out the side of your mouth.

    See this is a perfect example of what I have said about the majority of left leaning posters on this sub forum. You just fabricate things. You call me a Trump supporter and MAGA because I don't agree with your political beliefs. When I ask for an example you guys run away like you're accusing me of doing. You follow each other around liking each other's posts no matter what the content. All it has to be is a left talking point. I always address the topic. You just don't like what I say so you ignore it. As to your other point, no I don't like the current state of the Democratic party and I'm entitled to my opinion. I don't like what Trump is doing either as I've said multiple times but you guys handed him the election by running Harris. Nobody but yourselves to blame. If you run Newsom or Harris again they'll get blown out of the water.

    Like I said liars and hypocrites.

    I answered your question in the other thread "Trump is who they voted for". You don't need to quote me multiple times with the samequestion.. I'll respond if you quote or tag me once. No disrespect but get a lot of notifications because I actively post in a lot of sub forums. I don't mind answering a respectful question

    I quoted you twice bc it happened twice. Once could be a passing thing. Twice seems more indicative of a stronger position - seems like a big deal to you when people are critical of Trump. Anyway, that’s why I asked twice.
