The family of Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre has begged President Trump not to pardon convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, previously made an undisclosed settlement with Prince Andrew over allegations he sexually abused her as a teenager.
Giuffre reportedly was connected to Andrews by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In recent weeks, it has been rumored that Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, may receive a pardon after she was open to talking with the DOJ over Epstein’s crimes, but Giuffre’s family believes Maxwell should receive no pardon under any circumstances.

The family of a key survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse urged President Donald Trump on Wednesday not to consider clemency for the late financier’s co-conspirator and confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a sexual abuse advocate who died by suicide in April, made their plea to Trump in a public statement after he told reporters that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, “stole” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where she worked as a locker-room attendant at age 16 during the summer of 2000.
Giuffre’s family called Trump’s admission “shocking” and questioned whether he was aware of Epstein’s and Maxwell’s actions.
“It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been ‘stolen’ from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey ‘likes women on the younger side . . . no doubt about it.’ We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this,” the family added.
Asked last week about pardoning Maxwell, Trump said he hadn’t thought about it but noted that he’s “allowed to do it.” The family of Giuffre, one of the earliest and most prominent voices to call for charges against Epstein and Maxwell, said any leniency extended toward Maxwell would “go down in history as being one of the highest travesties of justice.”
“The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency,” the family said.
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Newsweek reported more on Trump’s comments that Virginia Giuffre was stolen from him:
This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.The family of Virginia Giuffre said they were shocked to hear President Donald Trump say he was aware Giuffre had been “stolen” from his Florida resort, while urging the president not to pardon sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator and confidant Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre was a sexual abuse advocate who died by suicide in April. Her family made their plea to Trump in a public statement on Wednesday after the president told reporters that Epstein “stole” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago Club, where she worked as a locker-room attendant at age 16 in the summer of 2000.
ADVERTISEMENT“It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been ‘stolen’ from Mar-a-Lago,” the family said in a statement.
Trump has said he is “allowed” to pardon Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. She was a close associate of Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in a New York City jail while awaiting trial in 2019.
Maxwell met with U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is also Trump’s former personal attorney, last week as part of the Department of Justice’s renewed investigation into Epstein.
“We would like to clarify that it was convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell who targeted and preyed upon our then 16-year-old sister, Virginia, from Mar-a-Lago, where she was working in 2000, several years before Epstein and President Trump had their falling out,” Giuffre’s family said in a statement.
“The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency,” the family added.
