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 an Instagram post by Giuffre, 41, she is experiencing renal failure, and doctors have given her a prognosis of just four days to live. She stated that a school bus speeding at approximately 70mph collided with her car, causing severe injuries.
“I’m ready to go, just not until I see my children one last time,” Giuffre expressed in her Instagram post, which included a photo of her with visible bruises.
In 2022, Giuffre reached a settlement with Prince Andrew after alleging he had sexually assaulted her at the age of 17. The settlement featured an unsigned letter in which Andrew recognized the trauma Giuffre endured from being sex trafficked by 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.
