In a defiant declaration of war, Virginia Giuffre’s grieving family demands full accountability from authorities for the thousands of heavily redacted Epstein documents that shield potential perpetrators from exposure.
Following the U.S. Justice Department’s December 19, 2025, release of Epstein-related files—mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act—Giuffre’s relatives, including brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts, blasted the “abnormal and extreme redactions” that blacked out entire pages without explanation. “This is a war now,” Amanda declared in interviews, vowing survivors and advocates will scrutinize every document and hold officials accountable if perpetrators are concealed.
The family joined over a dozen survivors in a Monday statement decrying incomplete disclosures, unredacted victim identities causing harm, and missing financial records. They argue the redactions violate the Act’s intent for transparency, potentially p
rotecting powerful figures in Epstein’s network.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, was Epstein’s most prominent accuser. Recruited as a teenager from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, she alleged trafficking by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, securing a multimillion-dollar settlement from Prince Andrew in 2022. Her posthumous memoir highlighted her lifelong fight for justice.
Earlier in 2025, the family stated Giuffre would have wanted full document release, emphasizing her hope for exposing abusers. Now, amid ongoing DOJ batches—including subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago and flight logs—they demand unredacted versions to honor her legacy.
“This isn’t over,” Sky Roberts said. “We’re going to continue to fight.” Critics, including survivors, question the DOJ’s handling under the Trump administration, noting selective protections. As more files trickle out, Giuffre’s family insists true accountability requires lifting all veils—ensuring no one escapes scrutiny for the trauma that ultimately claimed her life.
