What specific court filings and depositions state Virginia Giuffre's date of birth?
Executive summary
Available reporting and court-document repositories show Virginia Giuffre’s commonly cited birth year as 1983 and list August 9, 1983 as her full birth date in encyclopedia-style entries (Wikipedia and Simple Wikipedia) [1] [2]. Court filings and deposition transcripts that have been unsealed or made public (including the Maxwell defamation case files and the publicly posted deposition on DocumentCloud) are the places to inspect for which specific filings or deposition pages record her date of birth, but the specific filings and individual transcript pages that state “August 9, 1983” are not explicitly identified in the search results provided here [3] [4] [5] [6].
1. What public sources say about Giuffre’s date of birth
Reference works that summarize Giuffre’s life consistently list August 9, 1983 as her date of birth: the full Wikipedia biography and the Simple English Wikipedia both present “August 9, 1983” as her birth date [1] [2]. Major news outlets that reported her death described her as 41 at the time, consistent with a 1983 birth year [7].
2. Where in the court record you should look
The dispute over sealed discovery and deposition materials in Giuffre’s litigation with Ghislaine Maxwell generated large public releases of documents after court orders to unseal; those document sets and their indexed exhibits are the primary place to find formal, filed materials containing personal-data boxes such as date of birth [3] [5]. The Second Circuit and district-court rulings in the Maxwell case discuss the Florida deposition transcript and sealing disputes, indicating a Florida deposition exists in the case record and that courts have reviewed and ordered unsealing of related documents [3] [5].
3. DocumentCloud deposition and Newsweek exhibit — promising but not indexed in snippets
A DocumentCloud entry hosts the “Virginia Giuffre Maxwell Deposition,” which is a public copy of her deposition in the Maxwell litigation and is the most direct document where counsel typically asks for identifying information such as date of birth; that deposition file is publicly available via DocumentCloud per the search result [4]. Newsweek’s posted “EXHIBIT D” (a PDF of Epstein-files material) appears to be part of the same repository of unsealed materials and may contain deposition pages or exhibits that state her birth date; however, the snippet does not show the specific page or line giving the date [6].
4. What the search results do and do not show directly
The search results demonstrate that (a) encyclopedias list August 9, 1983 [1] [2], (b) unsealed litigation documents and depositions exist in the Maxwell/Giuffre case and have been the subject of appellate and district-court orders [3] [5], and (c) at least one deposition file has been uploaded to DocumentCloud for public viewing [4]. What the provided snippets do not show is a direct citation to the exact court filing name, docket number, and page where “August 9, 1983” is printed; those specifics are not visible in the current search results (not found in current reporting).
5. How to confirm the specific filings/pages yourself
To establish precisely which court filing or deposition page states her date of birth, consult the following prioritized sources: [8] the DocumentCloud deposition file referenced (“Virginia Giuffre Maxwell Deposition”) and search within the PDF for “date of birth,” “born,” or “1983” [4]; [9] the unsealed bundle posted with the district-court docket for Giuffre v. Maxwell (Case No. 1:15-cv-07433-LAP) as compiled in the January 3, 2024 unsealing submission and its exhibits [5]; and [10] the Newsweek-hosted Exhibit D PDF from the Epstein files, which appears to be a transcription or part of the deposition bundle [6]. The appellate opinion and reporting about sealing disputes (Justia and the district-court unsealing docket) provide roadmap details for which documents were treated as judicial and which transcripts were at issue [3] [5].
6. Conflicting claims and context to watch for
Some commentary and later filings in various jurisdictions raise challenges or allegations about the provenance or authenticity of certain Giuffre materials (for example, litigation cited in other venues and media that questions material provenance), but those items are presented as contested pleadings and allegations rather than conclusive refutation; the shock-website summary points to filings in London and Antigua that contest materials but does not identify a specific court finding disproving her birth date [11]. Available sources do not mention any court ruling that overturns the commonly reported August 9, 1983 birth date (not found in current reporting).
7. Bottom line for your question
Encyclopedias and mainstream obituaries list August 9, 1983 as Virginia Giuffre’s date of birth [1] [2] [7]. The concrete primary-source evidence you asked about — the exact court filing[12] or specific deposition page[12] that state her date of birth — likely exist within the unsealed Maxwell case documents and the DocumentCloud deposition file, but the precise docket entry and page citation are not shown in the provided results and require direct inspection of those PDFs [4] [5] [6].
