One of the first and most vocal women to speak out about Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young girls has died.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s family first announced she took her own life, but her father is asking for her death be investigated. He tells TMZ, Virginia said if she ever died by suicide, not to believe it.
Giuffre’s attorney told The Sun there were no signs she was contemplating suicide, saying, “There’s suicide and then there’s misadventure.”
Four individuals connected to the Epstein abuse scandal are now dead, including Jeffery Epstein. He committed suicide in prison, but many still question if that’s true.
Epstein is alleged to have abused dozens of victims by causing them to engage in sex acts with him at his mansion in New York, and at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The victims – all underage girls at the time of the alleged conduct – were given hundreds of dollars in cash after each encounter either by Epstein, or by one of Epstein’s employees.
The underage girls were initially recruited to provide Epstein with massages, and often did so nude or partially nude. These massages became increasingly sexual in nature, and would typically include one or more sex acts, as specified in the indictment. As alleged, Epstein also paid certain victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused. This allowed Epstein to create an ever-expanding web of new victims.
Giuffre was just 17 years old when she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell.
