Virginia Giuffre: Chilling New Details Emerge About Epstein's Sexual Abuse Victim's Death as Family and Friends Reach Her Mansion
A spokesperson for the WA Police Force told Daily Mail Australia that initial investigations suggested her death was "not suspicious" and confirmed that paramedics had provided "emergency first aid" moments after they reached the scene. The police also said that her death is not being investigated as a homicide case.
Moments Before Death
"About 9.50pm Friday 25 April, emergency services received a report a woman had been located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby," police said, adding, "Police and St John WA attended and provided emergency first aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene.
"The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious."
On Saturday morning, friends and family members were seen arriving at Giuffre's upscale six-bedroom beachside home in Ocean Reef. A man and a woman arrived in a black Ute believed to belong to Giuffre's former husband, Robert. However, Robert was not in the vehicle.
The man, dressed in a white t-shirt and black pants, was seen carrying a stack of cake boxes into the house. The woman, wearing a dark hoodie, also went inside the home.
Giuffre's family confirmed her death in a statement, revealing that she died by suicide after a long struggle with the trauma of being sex trafficked during her teenage years.
"It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia," her family said in a statement.
"She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking.
"She was the light that lifted so many survivors. Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure.
Tribute to Loving Sister
Earlier on Saturday, Giuffre's heartbroken brother, Danny Wilson, paid a touching tribute to her by sharing a sweet photo on Facebook that shows the two of them alongside another man. It is believed to be the final photo of Giuffre.
In the photo, Giuffre is seen smiling candidly at the camera with her arm wrapped around Danny. The third person in the photo is believed to be their older brother, Sky.
Wilson also updated his Facebook cover photo to a photo of a sunset over Perth, seemingly as a tribute to his sister's death.
Giuffre gained attention in 2015 when she filed a lawsuit against billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she was sex trafficked at the age of 16 after being recruited by his former partner and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, while working as a locker room attendant at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
The mother of three also accused disgraced Prince Andrew of forcing her into having sex on three separate occasions when she was 17 — including incidents at Epstein's private island, Little St. James, in New Mexico, and at Maxwell's home in London, where the infamous photo of her with King Charles' brother was taken.
Giuffre allegations went on to become the biggest scandal to hit the royal family in decades. Although Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied the claims, he reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022, paying a whopping $12 million.
Giuffre suffered abuse by a family friend when she was a child, which set her on a troubled path that eventually left her homeless as a teenager, according to NBC News. In recent years, Giuffre had been living in Australia with her young family.
Just last month, she made headlines after sharing a photo of her bruised face on social media, claiming she had been hit by a bus and only had "four days to live."
"This has been the worst start to a new year," she wrote in the caption of the disturbing Instagram post.
"I'm ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes," Giuffre's caption read.
Giuffre later alleged that she was physically abused by her husband, Robert Giuffre, for years. The two recently ended their 22-year marriage.
According to The Independent, Robert Giuffre also violated a restraining order that Virginia had filed against him in their hometown of Perth.

US judge denies government request to release Maxwell transcripts
NEW YORK: A US federal judge on Monday (Aug 11) rejected the Trump administration's request to unseal grand jury transcripts from the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. District Judge Paul Engelmayer said there was little in the transcripts that was not already public, and they did not identify anyone other than Maxwell and Epstein as having had sexual contact with underage girls. The Justice Department had sought to release the records to ease anger among some of President Donald Trump's supporters, who have long claimed there was a cover-up of Epstein's crimes and alleged high-level connections. 'NO THERE THERE' Engelmayer dismissed the government's argument that there was 'abundant public interest' in the case. 'Its entire premise — that the Maxwell grand jury materials would bring to light meaningful new information about Epstein's and Maxwell's crimes, or the Government's investigation into them — is demonstrably false,' he wrote. 'Insofar as the motion to unseal implies that the grand jury materials are an untapped mine lode of undisclosed information about Epstein or Maxwell or confederates, they definitively are not that,' he said, adding: 'There is no 'there' there.' The judge also questioned the administration's motives, calling them potentially 'disingenuous' and suggesting the request could be a diversion rather than a genuine act of transparency. MAXWELL OPPOSED RELEASE Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in 2021 of recruiting underage girls for Epstein, who died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. Her lawyers opposed the release of the transcripts, arguing it could affect her ongoing legal appeals. The Justice Department is also seeking to unseal grand jury records from Epstein's own case, a request before another judge. POLITICAL CONTEXT Trump's supporters have been vocal about the Epstein case for years. They reacted angrily last month when the FBI and Justice Department said the financier had died by suicide, had not blackmailed prominent figures and did not keep a 'client list.' In a bid to calm the furor, the department sought to release transcripts from the Maxwell and Epstein cases. US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, formerly Trump's personal lawyer, recently met Maxwell but has not disclosed the details of their conversation. She has since been moved to a minimum-security prison. Trump, 79, was once a friend of Epstein, and the Wall Street Journal reported last month that his name appeared among hundreds during a Justice Department review of the so-called 'Epstein files.' No evidence of wrongdoing has been presented.

US House panel subpoenas Clintons in Epstein probe
WASHINGTON: US lawmakers on Tuesday (Aug 5) subpoenaed former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton as part of an escalating congressional probe into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities and alleged government missteps. The subpoenas, issued by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee, are part of a broader investigation into how the Justice Department handled Epstein's case before and after his 2019 death in a New York jail while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. His death was ruled a suicide, though many supporters of President Donald Trump allege a cover-up. MULTIPLE SUBPOENAS ISSUED In addition to the Clintons, the panel also subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey, ex-special counsel Robert Mueller, and several former attorneys general, including Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales. Their depositions are scheduled between mid-August and mid-October. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accused Clinton of having a relationship with Epstein, citing flight records and a widely circulated photo showing him receiving a massage from one of Epstein's alleged victims. 'By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003,' Comer wrote to the former president. The committee also subpoenaed the Justice Department for records related to Epstein, including communications with President Joe Biden's administration. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNDER PRESSURE The renewed interest in the Epstein case follows pressure from Trump supporters and lawmakers to release previously sealed documents. After returning to office in January, Trump promised to make the case files public. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on July 7 that there was nothing further to release. The decision drew backlash from Republicans and prompted additional scrutiny after a Wall Street Journal report alleged Trump had written a lewd birthday note to Epstein in 2003. Trump denies the claim and is suing the publication. The Journal also reported that Bondi had privately informed Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files, though there was no evidence of wrongdoing. DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT FOR DISCLOSURE Despite the investigation being driven by Republicans, some Democrats have backed the effort. Congresswoman Summer Lee, who led a successful vote to subpoena the Clintons just before the August recess, said transparency was critical. 'Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are,' she said. Epstein was known to associate with numerous high-profile figures across the political spectrum, including both Trump and Clinton, before his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. MAXWELL TESTIMONY SOUGHT The committee is also seeking testimony from Epstein's longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking network. Her cooperation, however, is viewed as unlikely. The White House has not responded to the latest subpoenas. It has previously attempted to redirect public attention by accusing former president Barack Obama of orchestrating a 'treasonous conspiracy' against Trump, a claim that has not been substantiated.

Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury information largely already public, DOJ says
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox FILE PHOTO: Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell stands at the podium to address Judge Alison Nathan during her sentencing in a courtroom sketch in New York City, U.S. June 28, 2022. REUTERS/Jane Rosenberg/File Photo NEW YORK - Much of the information presented to the grand jury that indicted Ghislaine Maxwell for helping the late financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls has already been made public, the Justice Department said in a court filing on Tuesday. President Donald Trump last month instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of the Epstein and Maxwell grand jury material, as he sought to quell discontent from his base of conservative supporters and congressional Democrats over his administration's handling of documents from the cases. Tuesday's filing underscored how it is unclear whether the public will learn anything new or noteworthy from the potential release of such material. The Justice Department said much of the testimony from law enforcement officers at Maxwell's grand jury proceedings in 2020 was corroborated by the victims and witnesses who testified publicly at her trial the following year. "Much of the information provided during the course of the grand jury testimony - with the exception of the identities of certain victims and witnesses - was made publicly available at trial or has otherwise been publicly reported through the public statements of victims and witnesses," the Justice Department wrote in the filing. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of sex trafficking. Epstein died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. He had pleaded not guilty. Last month, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell to see if she had any information about other people who may have committed crimes. Neither party has provided a detailed account of what they discussed. Maxwell last week was moved from a prison in Florida to a lower-security facility in Texas. Grand juries meet in secret to guard against interference in criminal investigations, and records of their proceedings cannot be disclosed without a judge's permission. Top stories Swipe. Select.

Lawyers for Epstein, Maxwell and their alleged victims are due to share their views on the potential disclosures with the judges by Tuesday. Separately on Tuesday, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for records related to Epstein. Epstein was known for socializing with wealthy and powerful individuals, and his death in jail has fueled conspiracy theories that other prominent people may have been involved in his crimes and that he was murdered. Trump, a Republican, had promised to make public Epstein-related files if reelected and accused Democrats of covering up the truth. But in July, the Justice Department said a previously touted Epstein client list did not exist, angering Trump's supporters. Democrats are also pushing for the release of Epstein files, saying Trump should be held accountable for breaking his promise to release them. REUTERS
