From the Newshound archive · first published 7 October 2026.

French architect Robert Couturier says Goldsmith told him around 1987 to have nothing to do with Epstein, calling him a pervert who was recruiting children. Goldsmith, who died in 1997, had four daughters and reportedly despised the financier. Epstein's network ultimately left more than 1,000 victims and touched royals, politicians and celebrities worldwide. A UK watchdog is separately probing the case of a late Epstein whistleblower.
