<\/p>\nThe interactions Jeffery Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre had with Australian police before her death will be reviewed, Western Australia’s police commissioner has confirmed.<\/p>\n
Ms Giuffre died by suicide in April last year at her semi-rural property north of Perth.<\/p>\n
She had long alleged she was trafficked for sex to former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and other prominent figures by Epstein when she was a teenager.<\/p>\n
While living in Australia, Ms Giuffre was involved in a dispute with her former partner which at one point saw her charged with breaching a restraining order.<\/p>\n
WA Police Commissioner Col Blanch has confirmed his officers’ handling of Ms Giuffre’s case would be reviewed, in response to a letter he received from her family.<\/p>\n

“We respond to over 100,000 family violence incidents every year,” he told a WA parliament hearing on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
“I’d love to give assurance on every single one, but I can’t \u2014 but that one will be subject to a review.”<\/p>\n
He said the state’s coroner and ombudsman could also launch their own investigations.<\/p>\n
Speaking outside parliament, Commissioner Blanch said “all [officer] interactions will be reviewed” to see whether proper procedure was followed.<\/p>\n
“I want to make sure we’ve done our job properly,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We invest a lot in training of our police officers, we have body-worn video, so our reviews can be quite thorough.”<\/p>\n
He said the internal review \u2014 which commenced “shortly after” he received correspondence from the family \u2014 was confined to police interactions with Ms Giuffre.<\/p>\n
The commissioner said the family violence investigation team would first “review the circumstances” of all police attendance during her time living in WA.<\/p>\n
Family speaks out<\/p>\n
It comes as Ms Giuffre’s brother and sister-in-law, Sky and Amanda Roberts, renewed calls for a coronial inquiry into the circumstances leading to her death.<\/p>\n
The Roberts family had written to the state coroner requesting the inquiry.<\/p>\n
“That’s what Virginia would want, a thorough investigation into the systematic failures in Australia \u2026 in the United States, across the UK,” Mr Roberts told 102.5 ABC Radio Perth.<\/p>\n

“The systematic failures that have happened to sexual abuse victims time and time again, and domestic violence victims time and time again.”<\/p>\n
More than a dozen researchers and practitioners in the domestic violence space, from universities across the country, have also written to the coroner, in support of the family’s plea.<\/p>\n
Mr Roberts said his sister’s case could help other victims and potential victims.<\/p>\n
