The death of Virginia Giuffre will leave questions that are now likely to remain unanswered. Her name will always be associated with the scandals and criminality surrounding the late billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his circle - with Ms Giuffre one of the most prominent among his accusers,

Prince Andrew’s ex-girlfriend, Lady Victoria Hervey, gloated over the death-by-suicide of Andrew’s sex accuser, Virginia Giuffre, a mother of three. In a vile message on Instagram, Hervey posted a screenshot of the news of Giuffre’s death with the caption, “When lies catch up with you, there’s no way out.”

The American-born Giuffre, who lived in Australia for years, became an advocate for sex trafficking survivors after emerging as a central figure in Jeffrey Epstein’s prolonged downfall.
