Days after the third Jeffrey Epstein abuse accuser to die in recent years took her own life, her family shared an excerpt from a heartbreaking journal entry Virginia Giuffre left behind.

In the portion of the note shared by Giuffre’s family, she encouraged other abuse victims to “stand together” and continue to fight.

“Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims. Is protesting the answer? I dont know. But we’ve got to start somewhere,” Giuffre wrote.

Her family said they found the quote while going through Giuffre’s journal entries, according to a post on their Facebook page.

Giuffre, a native of Florida, said she was recruited by Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell to work for Epstein when she was just 16 years old. 

She is the third Epstein accuser to die since 2017. She was one of the most outspoken accusers and filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in 2021, claiming she was forced to have sex with him three times between 1999 and 2002 when she was underage. 

She also appeared in an infamous photo as a teen alongside Andrew and Maxwell allegedly taken in the latter’s London townhouse during a party in 2000.

Andrew has denied Giuffre’s allegations of wrongdoing and settled a civil lawsuit she brought against him out of court in 2021.

Giuffre went on to become an advocate for sex trafficking survivors and a central figure in Epstein’s prolonged downfall.
