Sky Roberts’ voice broke with profound anguish during an exclusive PEOPLE magazine interview on April 3, 2025, as he revealed the excruciating separation that tormented his sister, Virginia Giuffre, in her final months. Roberts, speaking alongside his wife, Amanda, detailed how Giuffre’s estranged husband, Robert Giuffre—the father of her three children, ages 19, 16, and 15—had secured a temporary family restraining order in February 2025, granting him primary custody and barring her from any contact until June. “It’s the worst pain in the world to not have access to your children,” Roberts said, his words heavy with grief. “Can you imagine the pain? All the physical abuse she endured will never amount to the pain of being separated from her children in that way.”
The couple explained that Giuffre and Robert had separated around August 2023 amid escalating marital issues, including allegations of years of physical abuse. Roberts recounted a January 9, 2025, incident in Dunsborough, Western Australia, where Robert allegedly beat Giuffre so severely that she suffered a cracked sternum, perforated eye, and other injuries requiring hospitalization. She reported the assault to police, but no charges were filed. Amanda Roberts emphasized the isolation: “Everything just accrues on top of one another—the Epstein trauma, the advocacy, and then this. It was too much to carry.”
Giuffre’s separation compounded her lifelong struggles, from childhood abuse to her high-profile fight against Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Her memoir, Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025), posthumously captured her resilience, but Roberts noted, “Nothing compares to a mother being separated from her child.” Robert’s attorney cited ongoing Australian court proceedings, prohibiting comment. The family’s revelations, amid Giuffre’s April 24 suicide, underscore the profound toll of institutional and personal betrayals, with calls for justice echoing through survivor advocacy.
