Family and Friends Hold Vigil to Mark One Year Since Death of Epstein Accuser Virginia Giuffre
Survivors and supporters honored the Epstein accuser as speakers renewed calls for accountability from those linked to the abuse network.
- On Saturday, friends, family, and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse gathered on the National Mall in Washington for a 'Butterfly Vigil' honoring Virginia Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her death.
- Giuffre, a mother of three, was a prominent survivor who publicly alleged in 2019 that Epstein trafficked her as a teenager; her memoir, 'Nobody's Girl,' details the abuse she suffered.
- Attendees donned butterfly pins to honor Giuffre's memory, with her brother, Sky Roberts, stating, 'You're my hero and you're a hero to the world.' Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., described the gathering as an 'irreversible reckoning.'
- Buckingham Palace stated King Charles III will not meet with Roberts during his upcoming U.S. visit, citing that a meeting could compromise 'ongoing police inquiries' and impact potential legal proceedings.
- Following the Justice Department's release of nearly 3 million pages of Epstein files, survivors continue seeking accountability, though critics argue the agency failed to redact identifying information in thousands of places.
