Amanda Roberts, sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, has paid emotional tribute following Giuffre’s death at the age of 41. Speaking publicly after the news broke, Roberts described Giuffre as "one of the most beautiful souls" and highlighted her unwavering commitment to fighting for survivors of sexual abuse.
Giuffre, known globally for her role in exposing Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, was found dead at her farm in Neergabby, Australia. Emergency services responded quickly but confirmed no suspicious circumstances. Her death has been officially ruled a suicide.
Roberts’ remarks emphasised Giuffre’s resilience and compassion, saying, "She wished for all survivors to get justice. That is who she was." Despite her public successes, Roberts acknowledged the deep emotional scars Giuffre carried, stressing that the trauma she faced continued well after the court cases concluded. "When you go through what she’s been through, it's not over when the court case ends," she said.
Virginia Giuffre had recently opened up about ongoing struggles, including allegations of domestic abuse against her husband and lingering health complications from a serious car accident. Earlier this year, she reported an assault to police, but no charges were brought.
Giuffre’s life work included founding Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping survivors of sexual assault find support and resources. Her family has announced plans to continue this mission in her honour.
Amanda Roberts’ tribute paints a portrait of a woman whose fight for justice helped many but who ultimately struggled under the weight of her own trauma. Giuffre leaves behind three children and a legacy of advocacy that has inspired countless others worldwide.
