Virginia Giuffre was known globally as a campaigner against sex trafficking. She was Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent victim, but also the accuser of the man formerly known as Prince Andrew. She was also an Australian resident for 20 years. She met her husband, Robbie Giuffre, in Thailand in 2002. She was there to study massage - sent by Epstein; he was there to study Thai boxing. They married 10 days later and Virginia escaped Epstein’s world by setting up a new life in Australia. The pair had three children.
In the last six months of her life, Virginia and Robbie’s marriage started to become characterised by fear and instability. She would take her life on April 25, 2025, during a period when she was banned from seeing her children and subject to a family violence restraining order.
A four-part podcast investigation, Virginia, has uncovered the full story of those final months, told through diary entries, personal text messages and photographs shared by Virginia’s family, alongside interviews with those closest to her and court documents obtained by this masthead.
