JEFFREY Epstein ‘pimp’ Ghislaine Maxwell DENIES former sex slave Virginia Roberts’ claims that they both asked her to be their baby surrogate – by stating that she wasn't sure the billionaire paedophile was "good father material".
The Brit socialite spoke out from hiding to respond to attorney Bradley Edwards’ book revelations which state that Virginia fled the odd couple aged 19 when they made the outrageous suggestion of her having a child for them to raise.
Her family friend Laura Goldman – who still speaks to her despite her repeated refusals to reveal her whereabouts – told Sun Online: “She told me that she wasn’t sure that Jeffrey was good father material and someone she could raise a child with. The only response to that is ‘you don’t say!’.
“She says she might have grown up in a family of nine children so she has many nieces and nephews but she was still never sure that she wanted children herself.”
Her response comes just a day after the Epstein’s victims’ attorney’s book revealed that the former sex slave finally managed to escape their hold over her when they made the shocking baby surrogate suggestion.
There were no conversations in the time period suggested
Laura continued: “Ghislaine claims that she doesn’t understand where the story about Virginia carrying a baby for Jeffrey and her got started.
“But then she says that Jeffrey and her never discussed having a child together as certainly there was no conversations in the time period suggested.
"That says to me that there might have been discussions at another time. But of course I don't know."
Mr Edwards' new book, ‘Relentless Pursuit’ says it became his “life mission” to get justice for Epstein’s victims including Virginia Roberts (now Guiffre) for more than a decade.
In its Mail on Sunday serialisation, he says he asked Virginia to prove her allegations, continuing: "She sent me the envelope that Maxwell had given her when they first met with directions to Epstein’s address as well as travel and hotel receipts charged to Epstein’s card.
"Not long afterwards, Virginia showed me a photograph of herself, aged 17, wedged in between Maxwell and Andrew."
The Prince has always strongly denied having sex with Roberts in London and New York, and at an orgy on Epstein’s private Virgin Island.
The attorney describes the former sex slave as a "powerful woman who would not scare easily or be bullied by anyone".
His book alleges that Maxwell, now 58, taught the then teen "all the skills needed to keep Epstein happy", but that the billionaire financier's "debauched world became too much for her".
The request was the final straw
After being trapped in the "sex cult for over two years", Maxwell and Epstein – dubbed Bonnie and Clyde by victims – allegedly asked her to carry his baby, Edwards writes.
Edwards claims that Roberts was asked to carry Epstein’s baby with the intention of handing the newborn child to him and was told that she would be looked after for the rest of her life.
Roberts apparently decided their request was the "final straw" and finally escaped their clutches during a trip to Thailand, where she'd flown to interview a young girl for Epstein's sordid entertainment.
After marrying an Australian she met and fell in love with there, Roberts ended up running away to Australia, where she is now a mum-of-three aged 36.
Prince Andrew has come under renewed pressure to be interviewed by the FBI as the new book exposes the extent of his former pal Epstein’s child abuse.
Epstein hanged himself in prison last year while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking, but his victims are demanding the Duke of York answer questions about what he knew.
The Prince has always strenuously denied Virginia's claims that she was forced to sleep with the Queen's favourite son on three occasions and told the BBC’s Emily Maitlis in an interview last year that he had never met her.
Abusing three a day
Relentless Pursuit also reveals that victims have said that Epstein was abusing three girls a day at one point and that he would visibly shake with sexual desire.
Edwards writes about Epstein: “He was an intellectually gifted sociopath with unlimited wealth who lived a virtually unconstrained life.
“The rules he – and those in his fold – lived by were his own. The problem was that his rules didn’t account for laws.
“Epstein had amassed extensive political and worldly connections. For decades, he used his tremendous fortune to sexually exploit women and girls, some as young as 14.”
The book claims Ghislaine Maxwell was a pivotal figure in Epstein’s abuse for more than a decade, allegedly helping him recruit and groom underage girls.
Maxwell’s lawyers have denied suggestions she procured girls for Epstein, who killed himself in jail last August.
Maxwell is said to have kept the names of girls who were being abused by Epstein on her computer and allegedly groomed Epstein’s first underage victim in 1994, when she approached a 13-year-old girl – who was later molested and raped by Epstein – outside a summer camp in the US.
“Epstein had an unquenchable appetite for young girls, and Ghislaine had a knack for finding them,” writes Edwards.
Edwards has now repeated his calls for the Prince to collaborate with the US authorities.
Prince Andrew has been approached for comment.
