Virginia Giuffre, who was the victim of sexual exploitation at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and also accused Britain's Prince Andrew of underage abuse, has died by suicide, her family confirmed.

She accused Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, of recruiting her to join their predatory ring. She also sued Prince Andrew for sexual assault.

In separate, since-settled claims, Giuffre accused Epstein of sex trafficking, and said Andrew sexually abused her when she was under 18.
