COLORADO SPRINGS — Sky Roberts and Amanda Roberts appeared in a political attack ad supporting Democratic candidate Jessica Killin. The ad targets Republican Representative Jeff Crank in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District.

Sky Roberts is the brother of Virginia Giuffre, and Amanda Roberts is the wife of Sky Roberts. Giuffre died by suicide in 2025. The couple lives in the Colorado Springs area and has been active in advocacy efforts related to the Epstein case.

"My sister Virginia was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. She spent her life trying to expose the truth. After she died, we promised to carry on her fight." Sky Roberts said in the advertisement. The ad accuses Crank of refusing to meet with them and voting to cover up files related to the investigation.

"But our own congressman Jeff Crank refused to meet with us. Then, when he had the chance to expose the truth and release the Epstein files, he repeatedly voted to cover them up." Amanda Roberts said. The advertisement further claims that Crank prioritized loyalty to former President Donald Trump over constituents and victims.

Jessica Killin, the Democratic candidate supported by the ad, served as chief of staff to Doug Emhoff and as an adviser to President Joe Biden. "Jeff Crank put his loyalty to Trump over listening to his constituents, over Epstein’s victims and their families, and over doing what’s right." Killin said in a written statement.

The No Going Back PAC spent nearly $2 million in Colorado’s 5th District to support Crank. This spending contrasts with the criticism leveled by the Roberts family, who have protested outside Crank’s district office demanding transparency.

The controversy centers on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 427-1 in 2025 after President Joe Biden urged its passage. The act requires the Department of Justice to publish all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative material related to the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act on November 19, 2025. The law requires the U.S. attorney general to make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all files pertaining to the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days of passage. It also mandates an unredacted list of all government officials and politically exposed persons named in the files be provided to Judiciary Committees.

In 2025, Rep. Crank was one of only four Republicans who supported a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, despite initially refusing to sign onto the effort. However, the ad claims he declined to sign a bipartisan discharge petition to force a vote on releasing Epstein files. Records show Crank voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Sky Roberts, the brother of Giuffre, has been advocating for the passage of 'Virginia's Law,' which would eliminate the statute of limitations for sex trafficking crimes. Amanda Roberts has also participated in public demonstrations demanding transparency from Rep. Crank.

Why It Matters

The political attack ad shows ongoing tensions between Epstein victims' families and lawmakers regarding the release of investigative files. The Epstein Files Transparency Act aims to ensure public access to records concerning the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, a process that has drawn legislative attention.

The involvement of high-profile figures such as Jessica Killin, who served as an adviser to President Joe Biden, reflects the national interest in the case. The expenditure of nearly $2 million by the No Going Back PAC in Colorado’s 5th District indicates the financial stakes involved in the congressional race and the broader political implications of the Epstein files debate.

What's New

Additional reporting confirms that Sky Roberts and Amanda Roberts live in the Colorado Springs area. They were among the advocates who protested outside Rep. Crank’s district office in Colorado Springs in September 2025, demanding that he support the release of the Epstein files. Amanda Roberts, Sky Roberts' wife, has been actively involved in advocacy efforts related to the Epstein case and has participated in public demonstrations demanding transparency from Rep. Crank.

Jessica Killin served as chief of staff to Doug Emhoff and as an adviser to President Joe Biden. A Congressional record from 2026 details that Giuffre was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago to engage in sexual acts with Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein’s recruitment of Giuffre at Mar-a-Lago was documented in a Congressional record, detailing her exploitation by Maxwell and Epstein during a period when Epstein’s criminal activities were already under investigation.
