Maria Farmer, one of the earliest known whistleblowers against Jeffrey Epstein, has two major accountability-related legal outcomes. Most significantly, she is among the survivors in a class-action lawsuit that reached a $35 million settlement with the Epstein estate (co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn) in February 2026, alleging they facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking and abuse. Separately, Farmer filed a lawsuit against the federal government (DOJ, U.S. Attorney's Offices, FBI) for negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress, alleging the FBI ignored her 1996 criminal complaint about Epstein and Maxwell and failed to protect her and other victims. In December 2025, the DOJ's partial release of Epstein files vindicated her longstanding account: a 1996 FBI document confirmed a criminal complaint matching her report, corroborated by her attorney on CNN. The federal government lawsuit remains active. Farmer is a survivor/plaintiff throughout all proceedings — not a defendant.
