Several newspaper headlines report on Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused Jeffery Epstein of sex trafficking her to Prince Andrew when she was a teenager. Giuffre said via her Instagram that she is in hospital following a serious car accident and only has four days to live. Her spokesperson said she is receiving medical care after a “serious accident” whilst Western Australia police and ambulance services said their records show a “minor crash” between a bus and a car on 24 March, but that no injuries had been reported as a result.
In 2022, Ms Giuffre reached an out-of-court settlement with the Duke of York over a civil sexual abuse claim filed in the US. She accused Prince Andrew of allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was 17 years old. Ms Guiffre had claimed the abuse took place while she was travelling with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted financier and Andrew’s former friend.
