A group of domestic violence experts are backing a plea by the family of former prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre for a coronial inquest into her death.
Ms Giuffre, 41, who took her own life in 2025 at her farm in Western Australia, alleged that she was forced to have sex on multiple occasions with former Duke of York Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after Epstein trafficked her.
More than a dozen researchers and practitioners from some of Australia's most influential universities and domestic violence organisations have written a letter to West Australian Coroner Ros Fogliani.
"(Ms) Giuffre spent much of her adult life in courageous pursuit of accountability for the abuse she suffered, taking significant personal risk to expose a network of exploitation and in doing so helping to protect other women," the letter published on Thursday said.
