Sex Abuse Accuser Who Testified Against Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein Dies of Suspected Overdose

Carolyn Andriano, the victim of Jeffrey Epstein who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, died last may. She was 36.

Andriano, a mother of 5, was found unresponsive in a hotel room in West Palm Beach, Florida. Authorities opened an investigation on her death and concluded that she died of an accidental overdose.

In 2021, Andriano provided bombshell testimony against Ghislaine Maxwell, claiming that Epstein had sexually abused her three times. In her testimony, Adriano claimed that Maxwell would schedule the meetings. The sexual abuse stopped when Adriano turned 18 and was deemed "too old" for Epstein.

During cross examination, Maxwell's attorney got Andriano to admit that she had once been addicted to "pain pills and cocaine," and that she did the drugs to "block out" the sexual abuse at the hands of Epstein.

But questions remain in Andriano's death.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Andriano's mother, Dorothy Groenert, said that her daughter was starting a new life. She and her new husband, John Pitts, had bought a comfortable home in North Carolina and were looking towards their future.

"She was ecstatic,” Groenert told the outlet. “She was all set up for a whole new lifestyle.”

Groenert, who wants cops to further investigate her daughter's death, also told the outlet that Andriano had recently texted that she was no longer using drugs or alcohol.

"[The police investigation] shouldn’t be closed," Groenert told the outlet.
I begged them, I sent them numerous messages. I’ve asked for them to make meetings, contact me, and to no avail."

The West Palm Beach Police Department did not immediately return a phone call from The Messenger.
