The father of Jeffery Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre, does not believe his daughter died by suicide, insisting instead that “somebody got to her.”
Grieving his daughter’s death on Thursday, Sky Roberts refuted his family’s claim that Giuffre — the most prominent victim of the disgraced financier — could have taken her own life.
“No way,” Roberts said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” “I can’t believe that this is happening. It’s 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.”
Giuffre, 41, was found dead in her home in Neergabby, Australia, last week, with her family confirming that she had committed suicide and left a note behind with a final message for sexual abuse survivors.
Roberts said he continues to sob over his daughter’s death, describing Giuffre as a survivor who stood strong for others despite the horrors she experienced when she was a teenager taken by Epstein.
“As someone who actually got out of a bad situation and made a good situation out of it, that she was helping a lot of other young girls that were feeling the pain of what goes on with people like that… I think she’s strong, very strong, and that’s why I don’t think she committed suicide,” Roberts said.
“She had too much to live for. She had her foundation,” he added, referencing Giuffre’s advocacy work.
