Virginia Giuffre's brother to lawmakers: "Survivors of this horrific abuse are watching"

From CNN's Maureen Chowdhury

Sky Roberts, Virginia Giuffre’s brother, made an emotional plea to lawmakers to make the right choice and seek justice for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse.

“But here’s my one ask: Look these survivors in the eye and tell them why. Then look, the people of the United States in the eye and tell them why. And then when you’re alone, look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why?” Roberts urged.

Giuffre, a prominent survivor of Epstein’s sex crimes, who also alleged Britain’s Prince Andrew abused her when she was a teenager, died by suicide in April at age 41, her family said.

Roberts said that the issue is not a political one. “This is not about left or right. This is about humanity. This is about doing what’s right. And this is about ensuring that the future we leave behind isn’t one where the powerful can hide behind their wealth, their influence and their money to evade justice,” he said.

He asked lawmakers to not make the vote about money or power, but justice, appealing to their conscience.

“Whether you’re a dad, a mom, a brother or a sister, look your young ones in the face, look them in the eye and tell them you didn’t stand against the very people who raped, molested and preyed upon children and young women. Tell them you were willing to negotiate a deal. Money should never be what makes something right or wrong. If you vote no, your stance will be clear,” he said.
