In a statement, Ms Giuffre's long-time spokesperson Dini von Mueffling described her as "one of the most extraordinary human beings I have ever had the honour to know".

She said Ms Giuffre was a "beacon to other survivors and victims" and that "it was the privilege of a lifetime to represent her".

After making her abuse allegations public, Ms Giuffre became a prominent campaigner and was closely associated with the Me Too movement.

Ms Giuffre alleged that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to Prince Andrew when she was 17.

The prince, who has denied all claims against him, reached an out-of-court settlement with her in 2022.

The settlement included a statement in which he expressed regret for his association with Epstein but contained no admission of liability or apology.

Ms Giuffre said she became a victim of sex trafficking when she was a teenager.

She said she met Maxwell, a British socialite, in 2000.

From there, she said she was introduced to American financier Epstein and alleged years of abuse by him and his associates.

Epstein took his own life in prison in 2019, where he was being held awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

He was previously convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the US for her role in Epstein's trafficking and abuse.
