Ghislaine Maxwell was under Jeffrey Epstein's control and believed he would marry her, says confidante Laura Goldman as she claims billionaire paedophile's 'madam' would NEVER sell out Prince Andrew. By Sam Greenhill and Daniel Bates and Rebecca English and David Barrett For The Daily Mail Published: 17:06 EDT, 3 July 2020 \| Updated: 05:01 EDT, 4 July 2020 Ghislaine Maxwell was under Jeffrey Epstein's control and believed he would marry her, one of her closest confidantes has revealed. Laura Goldman, a New York stockbroker who has known Maxwell for several years, also said she would 'never' offer information about alleged links between Prince Andrew and the billionaire paedophile, as pressure mounts on the royal to speak to the FBI. The socialite could face up to 35 years in prison for six charges of grooming and trafficking after officers swooped on her New Hampshire bolthole on Thursday. However, Ms Goldman, who became close to Maxwell after meeting her at parties in the 1990s, told BBC Radio Four's Today programme her friend was 'also a victim of Jeffrey Epstein'. She said: 'I never saw him berate her but she always a little afraid of him, she'd say 'I have to go, he's going to yell at me'. 'I do [think she was totally under his control]. It doesn't mean what she did was okay. 'Almost every woman you meet in jail is there because of a man. Some women are much more susceptible because of society's pressures to do things to please a man. 'I think she thought if she found him one more girl, he would marry her. Is that okay? No. 'She honestly thought at the end of the day she was going to be Mrs Jeffrey Epstein and that was a prize she wanted.' Ms Goldman said she last spoke to Maxwell 'a couple of weeks ago', adding that the British socialite 'knew she was coming to the end of the road'. Ms Goldman said: 'Initially she felt she was going to be fine because of the immunity provision, but I think in recent months she saw the fuhrer had died. 'When Jeffrey initially died, she was relieved, she thought it was over.' Last night, it emerged that Maxwell was once photographed sitting in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace alongside actor Kevin Spacey in 2002, years before police began investigating Epstein's links to sex trafficking and abuse. The developments have brought renewed pressure on the Duke of York to speak to investigators about his relationship with the disgraced paedophile billionaire, following back-and-forth claims that both parties were being uncooperative. But Ms Goldman suggested Maxwell would be more likely to discuss Epstein's dealings with former US President Bill Clinton and his successor Donald Trump instead of Andrew. No allegations have been made about either man. 'The only way she can walk is if she gives someone up, but that definitely won't be Andrew,' Ms Goldman told The Telegraph, which published the picture of Ghislaine in Buckingham Palace with Spacey. 'She is so appreciative that when she first came to New York, the Duke helped to launch her into high society. She always talks about what a true friend he is. She doesn't see any reason to speak about him to the authorities.' There is concern among royal circles over what implications Ms Maxwell's arrest in New Hampshire on Thursday could have for the Duke, 60, who was reportedly introduced to the billionaire paedophile by her in 1999.
