Annie Farmer

Background

Annie Farmer is one of the women who testified at Ghislaine Maxwell's federal trial in December 2021. Farmer alleged that she was sexually abused by Epstein and Maxwell when she was 16 years old, during a visit to Epstein's Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico in 1996. She was one of four accusers who testified using their real names at the Maxwell trial, waiving their right to anonymity.

Farmer's testimony described being invited to Zorro Ranch under the guise of an educational opportunity, where she alleged that Maxwell gave her a sexualized massage and that Epstein subsequently abused her. She also filed a civil lawsuit against Epstein's estate. Farmer's decision to testify publicly was seen as a significant act of courage that helped humanize the victims for the jury. Her sister, Maria Farmer, was one of the first people to report Epstein to authorities in 1996, though her complaint was not acted upon at the time.
