Giuffre's ex-husband sues Nine Network and Perth lawyer

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 11:31 · Archive

Robert Giuffre has sued Nine Network and barrister Karrie Louden over alleged defamatory comments in a 60 Minutes episode.

Robert Giuffre has launched legal proceedings in the Western Australian Supreme Court against Nine Network and Perth barrister Karrie Louden over alleged defamatory comments made during a 60 Minutes episode aired in September 2025. The writ filed in court alleges both the media company and Ms Louden made defamatory and derogatory publications about him and his relationship with his deceased wife.

According to the writ, the publications were 'false, without basis and were malicious with intent to harm' Mr Giuffre. He claims he has suffered 'significant loss and damage in the form of distress, anxiety, humiliation, injury to feelings and damage to his standing reputation in Australia and worldwide'.

Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in April last year, was a prominent accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, both convicted sex offenders. She alleged she was trafficked as a teenager to have sex with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Duke of York, and other powerful men. She received an estimated $22 million settlement from the former prince over a civil lawsuit. Before her death, Ms Giuffre was involved in a family violence matter in which she was represented by Ms Louden.
