Roberts is also said to be one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, who has previously been convicted of pedophilia. In the summer of 2019, the deceased billionaire was charged with sexual exploitation of minors and human trafficking for several decades, after several whistleblowers began to appear. He was found dead in the prison cell, 66 years old.
