Virginia Giuffre's family make shock admission as they beg public for help

Sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre's multi-million dollar estate could be locked away for years in legal disputes, her family have revealed as they launched a public appeal for cash to build a memorial to her.

The grieving family are reportedly hoping to raise $15,000 AUS - the equivalent of £7,500 - to put towards a public memorial in her memory that would be open for the public to visit.

It has previously been reported how Giuffre, who was found dead at her farmhouse close to Perth, Western Australia, last month in what authorities are treating as a suspected suicide, left behind a note urging families to unite in the fight for victims of sexual abuse. The letter reads: "Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims."

Now, Virginia'ssister in-law Amanda Roberts revealed that any remaining money and property, including her family's $1.9 million beach mansion and $1.3 million farm, could take 'years' to divide up.

It also remains unclear whether or not the Jeffrey Epstein victim left a will to help settle disputes around her estate,

Virginia Giuffre's death was announced by her family on Saturday, 26 April. At the time her family said in a statement that she was a "fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse" but that the "toll of abuse... became unbearable".

It added: "She was the light that lifted so many survivors. Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure. Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure." Ms Giuffre had three children, who her family described as the "light of her life."

Three weeks prior to her death, Ms Giuffre shared a post on her account, in which she claimed doctors had told her she only had a few days left to live following a crash with a school bus.

Her publicist said last month Ms Giuffre had been treated in an Australian hospital after a traffic collision. But she did not answer questions about the date, location, nature or other specifics of the incident, nor about the accuracy of the post.

Giuffre was one of the outspoken accusers to come forward about about convicted sex offenders the business mogul and Ghislaine Maxwell. She alleged they trafficked her to the Duke of York when she was 17, which Prince Andrew has strenuously denied.

Last week, her heartbroken father Sky Roberts spoke out in an interview with Piers Morgan on his YouTube show Piers Morgan Uncensored where he shared his belief that his daughter didn't die by suicide.

He told the broadcaster about her passing that there was "no way" she took her life, in his opinion. He said: "Well, first of all, I couldn't even believe it. I mean I started crying right away.

"I'm still crying. I can't believe this is happening. It just, it's impossible. And then for them to say that she committed suicide, there's no way that she did. Somebody got to her."
