WE — Virginia Giuffre, the woman who courageously fought for justice after Jeffrey Epstein sexually trafficked her and Prince Andrew abused her, now faces a different battle: her life hangs in the balance after a horrific car accident. The incident occurred on March 30, 2025, when a school bus traveling at 110 km/h struck Giuffre’s vehicle. Having endured immense trauma throughout her life, Giuffre now confronts the terrifying reality of her own mortality, as doctors have given her just four days to live.
The Accident
The tragedy unfolded when Giuffre, who has spent years advocating for survivors of sexual abuse, was driving when a school bus unexpectedly collided with her car. In an Instagram post shortly after the crash, Giuffre shared a haunting image of herself in the hospital bed, bruised and battered. Her post was laced with despair, as she described the accident in vivid detail.
“This year has been the worst start to a new year,” she wrote, explaining the circumstances of the accident. “A school bus driver comes at you driving 110 km/h as we were slowing for a turn. No matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can.” She went on to reveal that doctors had informed her that her body had gone into renal failure, a serious complication that threatened her life. The prognosis was grim: doctors have reportedly given her only four days to live.
Giuffre’s words were full of emotion as she reflected on her life, writing, “I’m ready to go. I hope to see my children one last time.” Despite her pain and uncertainty, she found solace in the support she has received throughout her tumultuous life. “Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life,” she added in a heartfelt message to her followers.
A Legacy of Courage
Virginia Giuffre’s life has been anything but ordinary. She rose to international prominence as one of the key victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. Giuffre was trafficked as a teenager by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, two powerful figures in the world of finance and international elites. She has spoken extensively about being coerced into sexual acts with several prominent figures, including Prince Andrew of the British royal family.
Her accusations against Prince Andrew were a significant part of the larger Epstein scandal, which made headlines around the world. In 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew, accusing him of sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions between 1999 and 2002. The allegations claimed that she was forced to have sex with the royal on several occasions, including in London, New York, and on Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Despite Giuffre’s testimony and the weight of the evidence against him, Prince Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
“I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever,” Prince Andrew stated during a 2019 BBC interview in which he attempted to distance himself from the scandal. The backlash from that interview led to the royal stepping back from his public duties, though the accusations continue to tarnish his reputation.
Giuffre’s bravery in coming forward and sharing her harrowing story with the world has been a catalyst for many other survivors of sexual abuse to speak out. Her decision to pursue legal action against Prince Andrew resulted in a significant out-of-court settlement in February 2022. The amount of the settlement was not disclosed, but Giuffre’s victory marked a pivotal moment in her journey toward justice.
The Fight for Justice and Accountability
Giuffre’s case against Prince Andrew was only one chapter in her ongoing fight for justice. She has long advocated for accountability for those who perpetrate sexual violence, particularly against vulnerable women and children. Her advocacy work extends beyond her personal experience, as she founded Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual assault and providing resources for those affected by abuse.
Through SOAR, Giuffre has sought to create a platform for survivors to reclaim their voices and demand justice. In an earlier statement, Giuffre said, “I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The justice system must hold the powerful and rich accountable for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”
Giuffre’s unwavering courage has inspired countless survivors of abuse, empowering them to find their voices. Her relentless pursuit of justice has made her a symbol of hope for those who have endured trauma in silence.
