Virginia Giuffre's Family Shares Handwritten Note After Suspected Suicide

Virginia Giuffre, a prominent advocate for sexual abuse survivors and a central figure in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, died by suicide at her home in Western Australia. Her family released a handwritten note she left behind, in which she urged families to unite and support victims of sexual abuse, stating, 'Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims.' Giuffre questioned whether protesting was the answer but emphasized the importance of starting somewhere in the fight for justice. In the months leading up to her death, she faced significant emotional, legal, and health challenges, including a painful divorce, estrangement from her children, and ongoing legal pressures. Her family and supporters have vowed to continue her advocacy, saying her voice 'will not be silenced.' Authorities are treating her death as a suspected suicide and have stated there are no suspicious circumstances.
