An early accuser of Jeffrey Epstein filed a lawsuit against the federal government this week, alleging that the FBI did “absolutely nothing” to protect her and other victims after she reported the abuse – ultimately allowing the convicted sex offender and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell to continue exploiting young girls for years.
According to the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Maria Farmer says she first reported Epstein and Maxwell in 1996, claiming she had been sexually assaulted by the pair, who she claims had also “committed multiple serious sex crimes” against other girls.
