Sky Roberts, father of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, has broken his silence about his daughter's unexpected death last week at her farm in Western Australia.
According to Daily Mail, Roberts strongly disputes the official police statement suggesting his daughter's death was not suspicious, asserting that "somebody got to her" and rejecting the possibility of suicide.
The grieving father expressed disbelief over the circumstances of his daughter's passing, emphasizing that the 41-year-old mother of three had dedicated her life to helping other victims of sexual abuse. Roberts revealed he broke down crying upon hearing the news and continues to struggle with accepting the reality of her death.
Roberts disclosed that he had seen the infamous photograph of his daughter with Prince Andrew years before it became public knowledge. He maintains the authenticity of the picture, which shows Virginia alongside Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Sky Roberts shared his views on Prince Andrew's out-of-court settlement with his daughter in 2022, interpreting it as an admission of guilt. He questioned why the royal would pay millions if he were innocent of the allegations.
In response to his daughter's death, Roberts said:
First of all, I couldn't even believe it. I mean, I started crying right away. I'm still crying. I can't believe that this is happening. It just, it's impossible. And then for them to say that she committed suicide, there's no way that she did. Somebody got to her.
Virginia Giuffre became a prominent voice against sexual abuse after coming forward with allegations against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Her involvement with their case began in 2000 when she met Maxwell as a teenager.
Roberts revealed he had met Epstein personally and later learned that the financier had threatened his daughter's family to maintain her silence. He expressed anger upon discovering Epstein's involvement with his daughter.
The case gained significant attention when Giuffre accused Prince Andrew of trafficking her when she was 17, allegations the Duke of York has consistently denied. Their legal battle concluded with an out-of-court settlement in 2022.
Before her death, Giuffre had established a foundation to support victims of sexual abuse. Her father emphasized her commitment to helping other young girls who had experienced similar trauma.
Relatives released a handwritten letter they claim Giuffre wrote before her death, encouraging people to "stand together to fight for the future of victims." The letter's discovery has added another layer of complexity to the circumstances surrounding her death.
Police reported finding Giuffre unresponsive at her North Perth property, noting she had been injured in a car accident weeks before her death.
Virginia Giuffre's death at age 41 has sparked controversy and speculation about the circumstances surrounding her passing. Her father, Sky Roberts, continues to challenge the official narrative, insisting his daughter would not have taken her own life given her dedication to helping abuse victims and her ongoing foundation work. The case has reignited discussions about her allegations against Prince Andrew and her role in exposing the activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
