Maria Farmer

During deliberations, the jury asked the court a series of questions related to testimony from the women whose claims form the core of the case against Maxwell.

First, jurors asked the judge for the transcripts of testimony from Annie Farmer, Carolyn, and Jane, three of the four women who testified that they were sexually abused by Epstein and that Maxwell facilitated and sometimes participated in the abuse.

So the jurors are trying to, you know, get all the stories straight, right? They want to make sure that they have all of the pertinent information so that they come up with the right decision, at least the best decision that they're capable of coming up with.

So I know that there was a lot of reading of the tea leaves when it came to these juror notes and all of that stuff.

But some of the excerpts that were read into the record, well, that is evidence now.

So they can go back and look at that if they want.

Further, the jury asked whether it can consider Farmer's testimony for two of the conspiracy counts.

Jurors may do so, Judge Allison Nathan said.

Epstein died by suicide, allegedly, in 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, where he was jailed while he was waiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Allegations that Epstein and co-conspirators created what they referred to as a modeling book were previously mentioned in a lawsuit Epstein survivor Maria Farmer filed against the government.

Her case alleges that the government failed to protect her and others from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Well, when she tells the police in 96 what's going on with Epstein and nobody does shit about it, what else should she think? Seems to me that Maria blew the lid off this shit.

Um, but if we, to sit in that room and really hear some of the, the calls that people are making were incredible.

And you finish the experience by walking through Maria Farmer's art, which is so visceral.

And so, um, this space really became a space it, you know, originally it was all about Epstein survivors, but it's, it's a space where survivors as a whole can come and just experience loss and experience...

Like, I just notice people coming in to this main space where we, we can gather and there's projection of sort of our journeys and the candles, and then on the other side there's a stage where we, um, do whole panel discussions.

I have a question for the audience.

How many people here know of Maria Farmer? If you could just raise your hand.

Okay, how many people here know that she reported the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell back in 1996? Okay.

If they didn't ignore her report, none of this would have happened.

She's got the whole equestrian attire.

She's so elegant, recalls Maria Farmer.

Farmer was 26 and trying to build a career as an artist when she was invited to stay at a ranch in Ohio with Maxwell and run an art project.

So a lot of these stories you see with Ghislaine Maxwell, when we get into them, you'll see that they overlap.

She is a victimizer.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

We agree with you there, Ms. Maria Farmer.

She is definitely a victimizer.
