Virginia Giuffre’s father said he does not believe she died by suicide, adamantly insisting that “someone got to her” some 15 years after she first accused financier Jeffrey Epstein of sexually exploiting her as a teen.

Sky Roberts made the claim during an emotional interview with Piers Morgan on Thursday. He told the the talk show host there is “no way” Giuffre would take her own life, going as far as to call it “impossible.”

“First of all, I couldn’t even believe it. I mean, I started crying right away. I’m still crying,” Roberts told Morgan.

“I can’t believe that this is happening. It’s just, it’s impossible,” he continued. “And then for them to say that she committed suicide, there’s no way that she did. Somebody got to her.”

Giuffre, who also accused Britain’s Prince Andrew of abuse, was found dead in her home near Perth on Friday. Her family later confirmed in a statement that she “lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.” But Roberts was quick to question the narrative, calling for further investigation in the immediate aftermath of his daughter’s death.

She was 41 years old.

“She had too much to live for,” Roberts said, referencing Giuffre’s work as an advocate for other abuse survivors. “She had her foundation.”

Giuffre herself also once said suicide was not an option for her, back in a post to X in 2019.

“I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal,” she wrote. “I have made this known to my therapist and GP – If something happens to me – in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them.”
