Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre in ‘serious’ accident – LATEST

Virginia Giuffre, a sex trafficking victim of disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein, has been injured in a “serious accident”, her agent said on Tuesday.

Giuffre – who accused Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 – “is receiving medical care in the hospital”, her agent Dini von Mueffling said in a statement to AFP.

“She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.”

Living in Perth

Virginia Giuffre, a US and Australian citizen, has reportedly been living in Perth, Western Australia, but it was unclear where or when she was injured.

An Instagram post signed in her name on Monday included a photo of her apparently lying in a hospital bed with bruises and grazing around her left eye, forehead and nose.

“I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can,” it said.

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.”

Western Australia police said they had located one crash involving a bus in the past week – a minor incident north of Perth on March 24 – but that it did not result in any reported injuries.

‘Not doing good’

Virgina Giuffre’s father Sky Roberts told the Daily Mail he was “sick to his stomach” about his daughter’s injuries, saying she was in a crash in Australia a “couple of days ago”.

In separate comments to Britain’s Daily Telegraph, he said: “She’s not doing good. She’s depressed because she misses her kids.”

Virginia Giuffre accused the late American billionaire Epstein of using her as a “sex slave”.

Prince Andrew denied her accusation of sexual assault and avoided trial by paying a multimillion-dollar settlement.
