Remember Virginia Giuffre for her courage to speak out

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most outspoken victims, died by suicide last Friday.

In 2015, Giuffre was the first Epstein victim to go public about the sexual abuse and forced participation in a sex-trafficking ring allegedly led by Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

Three years later, Giuffre was featured in “Perversion of Justice,” a Miami Herald series that revealed how Epstein’s lawyers collaborated with the Justice Department to minimize the severity of his crimes, resulting in an 18-month jail sentence.

Giuffre was instrumental in opening the case against Epstein and Maxwell. And last week, she paid the ultimate price.
