Showing Original Post only (View all)Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide [View all]
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/virginia-giuffre-one-jeffrey-epsteins-prominent-abuse-survivors-dies-s-rcna203027Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epsteins sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday.
Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years.
Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out.
She also provided critical information to law enforcement that contributed to the investigation into and later the conviction of Epsteins associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as other investigations by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Virginia Giuffre had some demons. In the end, she was a fervent supporter of Trump.
