Virginia Giuffre’s father recalls dropping her off at Epstein’s mansion, shaking pedophile’s hand: report
Virginia Giuffre’s father remembers dropping her off at Jeffrey Epstein’s home and even shaking the pedophile’s hand when he was “checking Epstein out” after his then-teenage daughter accepted a job as the billionaire’s masseuse, according to a report.
Sky Roberts visited Epstein’s Florida mansion in 2000 while he was on his lunch break while working as a maintenance man at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Palm Beach, where Giuffre also worked.
Days earlier, a guest at the club approached a 16-year-old Giuffre at the pool as she was reading a book on massage therapy and asked if she wanted a job with her boss, Roberts told the Daily Mail.
Giuffre was ecstatic at the opportunity, and her dad was excited for her, too — but he wanted to meet this mystery boss first.
Roberts remembers pulling his pickup truck into Epstein’s house, which was “just down the street,” and meeting the financier and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell — but said “no bells went off” during the encounter.
“He seemed like a regular guy, and she seemed OK, too. I had no clue that this guy was a pedophile and that the woman was manipulating my daughter and the other girl,” the father said. “I thought I was doing my parental duty by checking Epstein out.”
Robert said Epstein came down the driveway and shook his hand.
“I said words to the effect that I’d wanted to meet him and to understand exactly what my daughter would be doing,” Roberts said.
“Epstein said ‘Oh, I do this to help a lot of girls — there’ll be people who will teach Virginia massage therapy… it’s a good career,” he continued.
Maxwell, Roberts said, was silent.
His daughter “was keen” on working for Epstein “because it was more money and the travel seemed a good opportunity,” he said.
“I had no idea, of course, what was really going on. Now I wish I’d known the extent of it, but I had no clue,” he told the paper.
Giuffre spent the next two years being groomed by Epstein and Maxwell, traveling around the world to their lavish estates where she was offered to their elite guests for sex. Photos show her when she was 17 with Prince Andrew’s arms around her waist, whom she claimed she was forced to have sex with.
“I don’t think he still has any remorse for what he did or that he feels guilty. I think he is angry because he was caught,” Roberts told the Daily Mail.
Giuffre was also allegedly tasked with helping the sick pair recruit other girls for the billionaire’s pedophile ring.
“She never came home from trips and said, ‘I’ve been sexually abused.’ It’s not something you’d talk about with a dad,” Roberts said.
Giuffre, now 40, lives in Australia. Her father, who remains in Florida, told the Daily Mail that they don’t see each other often, but he is proud of her.
Epstein, 66, killed himself in a lower Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while he was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Maxwell has since been convicted of recruiting and grooming young girls for sex and is currently serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison.
“I think she’s despicable because she was aware of what was happening. How she can look at herself in a mirror is beyond me because she ruined these kids’ lives,” Roberts told the outlet.
Roberts’ revelation comes just weeks after a trove of documents related to Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes were revealed as part of his daughter’s long-settled 2015 defamation lawsuit against Maxwell.
The 215 documents totaling nearly 5,000 pages laid out the scope of Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring, his network of powerful associates and his methods for luring female victims.
