Disturbing Police Report Details Violent Encounter Involving Virginia Giuffre Resurfaces Amid Estate Battle
A previously confidential police report has unveiled harrowing details of a violent altercation between Virginia Giuffre and her estranged husband, Robert Giuffre. The revelation comes as a contentious legal dispute over Giuffre’s substantial multimillion-dollar estate recommences in the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
Virginia Giuffre, a prominent survivor of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, tragically died by suicide in April of last year at her farm located north of Perth.
The court document, which forms part of a civil proceeding involving Giuffre and Maxwell, was unsealed as part of a December release of Epstein-related files. It details a police response to the Colorado home Giuffre shared with her Australian husband, Robert, and their three young children in March 2015.
According to the official report from the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, Giuffre informed responding officers that her husband had struck their husky, named Bear, before repeatedly punching her in the face with a closed fist. This occurred after she attempted to intervene and pull him away from their dog.
Fremont County Sheriff Brody Koch stated he and another officer arrived at the residence around 7 pm, following several silent 911 hang-up calls. Upon arrival, Sheriff Koch reported speaking with both Robert and Virginia. He described Virginia as moving “slowly and deliberately,” with a “quiet and distant” demeanour.
Sheriff Koch observed bruising on her face, bloodstains on her jumper, and red marks around her collarbone. Initially, Giuffre was reluctant to disclose the cause of her injuries. “I asked Virginia to tell me how she got the bruise,” Sheriff Koch wrote in his report. “Virginia was very quiet and shy and stated: ‘I’d rather not say.’”
However, once Robert was arrested and transported to the police station, Giuffre confided in the officer, alleging that Robert had repeatedly punched her on the left side of her face and head. She also claimed to have been choked.
Giuffre described experiencing “whitish or clear fluid mixed with the blood” emanating from her ear, which the attending officer noted could be indicative of serious head trauma. She further recounted that Robert had retrieved a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, “cocked it and placed it in his mouth.”
“Virginia stated that Robert tried to get her to pull the trigger several times,” the report detailed. Police subsequently removed the firearm, ammunition, and a knife from the property. Giuffre expressed her fear for her safety and apprehension of retribution upon Robert’s release.
Robert, in his statement to Sheriff Koch, admitted to striking Giuffre during the altercation with the dog but described it as an “accident,” claiming he was unaware of the exact nature of her injuries.
Attempts to reach Robert for comment were unsuccessful, and his legal representatives declined to provide a statement.
Virginia Giuffre met Robert, who originally hails from New South Wales, in Thailand in 2002. They married within ten days of meeting and spent the majority of their lives together in Australia.
A television exposé aired in September of last year brought further attention to the 2015 incident. The program reported that Robert had been charged with domestic violence in relation to the 2015 incident and subsequently pleaded guilty, receiving probation. The report also featured interviews with Colorado law enforcement officials regarding the case. Robert has consistently denied allegations of abuse.
In a development last month, Robert initiated defamation proceedings by issuing a concerns notice to the television program and Giuffre’s lawyer, Karrie Louden. The executive producer of the program stated that the network stood by its journalistic integrity.
During the television program, Giuffre’s family in the United States voiced their concerns regarding Robert’s alleged history of violence.
Virginia’s brother, Sky Roberts, told this publication that the family had been actively seeking the release of the 2015 police report. He described their surprise and satisfaction upon discovering it on the United States Department of Justice website on December 19, as part of the unsealed Epstein files.
“It was so eye-opening for us… because it shows that all we have been saying is accurate,” Roberts stated, indicating the report validated their long-held concerns.
These revelations emerge as Giuffre’s two sons, Christian (19) and Noah (18), contest the validity of their mother’s will. If their claim is successful, their father would be entitled to one-third of the estate, with the remaining portion to be divided among the children, including their 15-year-old sister.
However, Ms. Louden and Cheryl Myers, a long-time carer for Giuffre, contend that she died with an implied will. They assert that Giuffre had unequivocally expressed her desire for Robert to receive no portion of her multimillion-dollar estate. This estate includes significant civil settlements from Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, as well as royalties from Giuffre’s memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” which has achieved over a million sales since its release last October.
Further complicating matters, in January 2025, while Giuffre and Robert were holidaying with their children in Dunsborough, Western Australia, police were called to a separate domestic violence incident. Both parties accused each other of violence, though no charges were ultimately laid.
Robert had successfully obtained a temporary restraining order against Giuffre, which temporarily prevented her from seeing her children for a period of six months. Giuffre expressed her deep distress over this situation in a social media post in March 2025, describing it as more hurtful than anything she had endured in her 41 years.
Just two days prior to this report, Giuffre’s family in the United States launched a GoFundMe campaign, which has already raised over $25,000 towards its $40,000 goal. The funds are intended to support their legal battle over the estate and to further Giuffre’s advocacy efforts against child trafficking.
Virginia Giuffre’s long-time publicist and friend, Dini Von Mueffling, conveyed Giuffre’s final wishes regarding her estate. Von Mueffling stated that Giuffre wanted her assets placed in trust for her children, with the aim of fostering their development into responsible working adults before they gained access to substantial wealth.
“She wanted to preserve what was left for her children and no, she did not want [Robert] to have one cent more,” Von Mueffling affirmed.
