A former friend of Ghislaine Maxwell’s is speaking out this week to claim that the former madam of the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has his disturbing sex tapes.

The friend added that Maxwell will use these tapes as an insurance policy with authorities to save herself.

“Ghislaine has always been as cunning as they come. She wasn’t going to be with Epstein all those years and not have some insurance,” the source told Daily Mail.

“The secret stash of sex tapes I believe Ghislaine has squirreled away could end up being her get out of jail card if the authorities are willing to trade. She has copies of everything Epstein had. They could implicate some twisted movers and shakers.”

“If Ghislaine goes down, she’s going to take the whole damn lot of them with her,” the former friend added.

“Not only did Epstein like to capture himself with underage girls on camera – he wanted to make sure he had something to hold over the rich and powerful men who took advantage of his sick largesse.”

“I’ll bet anything that once it comes out that Ghislaine has those tapes these men will be quaking in their Italian leather boots,” the insider continued.

“Ghislaine made sure that she socked away thumb drives of it all. She knows where all the bodies are buried and she’ll use whatever she had to save her own a**.”

This comes days after Maxwell, 58, was arrested by the FBI on six charges related to her grooming young girls for sex.

Her indictment stated that she facilitated Epstein’s crimes by “helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse” girls as young as 14, adding that she also participated in this abuse.

Prosecutors have asked the judge to deny bail, arguing that Maxwell is a flight risk because she has a vast international network of powerful friends.

Virginia Roberts, one of Epstein’s victim, has been speaking out to celebrate Maxwell’s arrest.

“She ruined so many lives. She belongs in jail,” Roberts said.

“You want to hurt kids? That’s where you go.”

She also said that powerful men like Prince Andrew, who she claims had sex with her when she was a minor, should be very worried right now.

“Prince Andrew should be panicking at the moment because Ghislaine doesn’t really care about anyone else but Ghislaine,” Roberts said. 

“I think he would be quite shook up.”
