At the time, the names were kept secret under a court-ordered seal – with the names ‘John Doe’ or ‘Jane Doe’ used to refer to those involved.
The woman who was driving Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Virgina Giuffre, before the car crashed with a bus last week has broken her silence.
Cheryl Sassela, 71, was behind the wheel of the car with Virginia on board before it collided with a school bus in Perth last week.
Virginia, who accused Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, posted on Instagram on March 30 that she had been in a car accident and had been given ‘four days to live’ after suffering ‘kidney renal failure’ from the crash.
In her emotional post, she added: « 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. »
The 41-year-old’s family told LADbible Group that she remained in ‘serious condition’ after being ‘banged up and bruised,’ noting the post to her Instagram she ‘thought she had posted on her private Facebook page’.
However, the Western Australia Police Force later said it received ‘a report of a minor crash’ which occurred between a car and a school bus.
The driver of the bus, named Ross Muss, also claimed it ‘wasn’t a major crash’ to Mail Online.
« It’s just all blown out of proportion and I know what happened. I didn’t even see her in the car, » he claimed.
Now, Cheryl, a caretaker at Virginia’s $1.3 million hobby farm, has now spoken out about the saga.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, she said the incident, which resulted in a broken taillight on her car, had led to a misunderstanding.
« I’m not covering for her. I’m not implicated in a cover up, » she said. « I’m sure Virginia will release a statement soon to clear it all up. »
