Among the first to report Epstein to law enforcement in 1996
Maria Farmer is a survivor of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In August 1996, she reported her sexual assault and that of her 15-year-old sister Annie to the NYPD and FBI, providing detailed allegations of an ongoing child trafficking ring, child sexual abuse material production, and possession. She disclosed that Epstein and Maxwell had sexually assaulted her in separate locations. The FBI failed to investigate her complaint for a decade. In April 2019, after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, Farmer publicly disclosed her victimization by filing a sworn affidavit in federal court. On May 29, 2025, she filed a civil lawsuit against the Justice Department, U.S. Attorney's Offices, and the FBI for negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress related to their failure to investigate her 1996 complaint and protect her and other victims.
