Sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre was charged with breaching a family violence restraining order just days before the bus crash which she initially claimed had fatally injured her.
Giuffre, née Roberts, 41, posted a photograph on Instagram on Sunday night, allegedly from her hospital bed, claiming she had just four days left to live.
She said her car had been hit by a school bus travelling at 110km/h which had left her with kidney failure, and doctors had told her she would be dead within days.
A spokesman for Giuffre admitted on Wednesday that she had ‘made a mistake’ and had not intended to publish the post publicly. Medical sources have said she does not just have days to live.
Now Daily Mail can reveal Giuffre was listed at a Perth Magistrates Court ten days before the crash over the alleged breach of the family violence restraining order.
Her estranged husband Robert Giuffre was also listed at the same court the month before for allegedly ‘providing inadequate storage facility for firearms’.
It is understood the couple recently separated after 22 years of marriage, and no longer live together at their lavish $1.9million mansion in Perth’s beachside suburb of Ocean Reef.
They bought the six-bedroom home five years ago, putting down a deposit on it six months before Ms Giuffre launched her lawsuit against Prince Andrew for allegedly sexually abusing her when she was a teenager.
The purchase was finalised before the matter was settled out of court with a reported $20million payout from the Duke.
They now appear to be locked in a messy tug of love over their teenage son and daughter.
Two days before the car crash, Giuffre posted a sun-dappled picture of her children on a beach on March 22, accompanied by an apparent desperate plea to see them.
‘My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies,’ she posted.
‘I miss them so very much. I have been through hell and 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.’
In the post from hospital a week later, she added: ‘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. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.’
Giuffre met her future husband when she was just 19 while training as a masseuse in Thailand.
The course had been paid for by the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who had sex trafficked Giuffre with his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
On Tuesday, Western Police revealed Giuffre was a passenger in a car involved in a ‘minor collision’ with a bus in Neergabby, 80km north of Perth, on March 24, and no-one had been injured.
According to 9News Perth, Giuffre’s 71-year-old ‘carer’ was driving the car at the time.
Police said the collision was ‘reported by the bus driver the following day. The car sustained approximately $2000 worth of damage’.
‘We have no report of any serious injuries,’ Acting Western n Police Commissioner Kylie Whiteley said.
Giuffre is understood to have been treated at a local health centre afterwards for a pre-existing condition and released.
She later checked into another hospital in the early hours of Tuesday, after the disturbing Instagram post – which appeared to show her badly bruised – went public.
She rescinded the ‘deathbed’ farewell claims via a spokesperson on Wednesday and said she mistakenly posted them to her public Instagram page.
Her father Sky Roberts told DailyMail.com that he is ‘sick to my stomach’ and would do anything to be able to fly from his home in Florida to be by his daughter’s hospital bedside in .
Daily Mail is not suggesting Ms Giuffre made the incident up or exaggerated it.
