"It's hurtful for a lot of survivors out there. It's hurtful for me as a family member to even hear the potential for a pardon, that he is considering it, or possibly not considering it, as he said. He didn't waver one way or the other. However, I mean, why is this even a conversation? She's a convicted she was convicted of basically running a sex trafficking ring, and so at this time, like, what does this teach our children?"
"She was able to do something along with her survivor sisters that was unprecedented. They came up against the rich and powerful. She exposed them and in spite of the backlash, the threats, the lawsuits that came, she stood firm in her truth, and she keeps us going because we know that she would still be fighting. We know that she wouldn't relent. We keep going for all of the survivors out there."
Sky Roberts, brother of Virginia Giuffre, reacted strongly to President Donald Trump refusing to rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Roberts said the possibility of a pardon is hurtful to survivors and family members, undermines faith in government, and sends harmful messages to children. He called the conversation disgraceful and expressed disappointment with campaign promises. Amanda Roberts emphasized that Virginia and other survivor sisters exposed powerful figures, stood firm despite threats and lawsuits, and continue to inspire and motivate ongoing efforts for survivors' justice.
