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

The first victim to take publicly speak out against Jeffrey Epstein, who she says sexually abused and trafficked her to Prince Andrew at 17, died by suicide.

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday. Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years.
