💨 Abstract

The partial release of the Department of Justice files related to Jeffrey Epstein on December 19, 2025, validated Maria Farmer's long-standing claim of being one of the first to report Epstein in the 1990s. A 1996 FBI document describes a criminal complaint involving Epstein and child pornography, which Farmer's lawyer confirmed was filed by her client. The document alleges Epstein stole and sold photos of Farmer's underage sisters and threatened her.
