Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Guiffre ‘has days to live’ after ‘car crash’
Sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre has claimed she has ‘four days to live’ after being hit by a bus.
The woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, and who has also accused Prince Andrew, shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed coverered in bruises.
Bidding farewell to her loved ones ones, mum-of-three Ms Guiffre wrote on Instagram: ‘This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.
‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.
‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day.
‘Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia’.
She did not share further details of the reported crash or where it occurred.
Ms Guiffre, who now lives in Australia, is thought to be estranged from her husband. A week before sharing the photo of her injuries, she posted about her sadness about how much she missed her children.
Alongside photos, she wrote: ‘My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies. I miss them so very much. I have been through hell & back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else. Hurt me, abuse me but don’t take my babies. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.’
Billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself in custody in August 2019 while awaiting his trial for sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. A watchdog report last year blamed prison guard negligence,short staffing, misconduct and performance failures for allowing it to happen.
There was no evidence of foul play in his death, said Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
His close friend Ghislaine Maxwell, a former socialite, is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of sex trafficking and grooming girls for him.
In January, the last batch of Epstein court papers to be released showed Ms Giuffre, 41, claimed she was paid $15,000 (£12,000) to have sex with Prince Andrew.
As part of a civil lawsuit against Epstein’s former lover Ghislaine Maxwell, she told a judge of her alleged abuse by the Duke of York in 2016.
Asked under oath in 2016 over whether she was paid ‘by or on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein’ for the encounter, which Andrew denies took place, she said: ‘Yes, I did receive $15,000.
‘I don’t know what equivalent that is to pounds. I received it in American dollars.’
Prince Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, to avoid going to trial in 2022.
He had faced a public hearing over allegations he sexually abused the American woman three times when she was just 17, and while she was the victim of a trafficking ring orchestrated by billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Duke has always strenuously denied the accusations.
Under civil law, agreeing to settle a case does not amount to an admission of guilt.
The news today comes after King Charles gave an update on his health, saying he had been in hospital due to side effects from his cancer treatment.
The monarch ‘required a short period of observation’ before returning to Clarence House, Buckingham Palace said last week.
