"Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking," her family said in a statement.

She accused Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, of recruiting her to join their predatory ring. She also sued Prince Andrew for sexual assault.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers, has died, her family said in an April 25 statement. Giuffre, 41, died near her home in Neergabby, Australia. The cause of death was suicide, her family said in the statement.
