21 years before MeToo, a Kentucky native says Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her
21 years before #MeToo, a Kentucky native says Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her
A Kentucky native says wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her in 1996 and she witnessed school-age girls being escorted upstairs in his New York mansion.
Maria Farmer met the hedge fund manager in New York while a graduate student and later went to work for him, she said in an affidavit filed in April in a Florida court. It was through her work at Epstein's home in 1996 that Farmer, then 25, claims she witnessed underage girls coming through Epstein's mansion.
And later, she said in the affidavit, she and her sister were both subjected to unwelcome sexual and inappropriate behavior at the hands of Epstein and his socialite associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Farmer's affidavit is part of a complaint that Virginia L. Giuffre filed against Alan Dershowitz on April 16, that accuses the famed lawyer and retired Harvard law professor of being a "co-conspirator" along with Epstein in the sex trafficking and sexual abuse of minors.
In her lawsuit, Giuffre said Epstein and Maxwell sexually trafficked her to Epstein's friends, including Dershowitz, who previously was a lawyer for the financier.

Act sanctions ... in an attempt to punish the US parents looking to adopt rosy-cheeked little white children from Russia. Which is why we know that Trump Tower meeting was really about ... sanctions.
I don't think there's really any reason to drag that program into this Epstein/Trump discussion, at least nothing that I'm aware of
