"That document is an FBI report from Maria Farmer, a painter who worked for Epstein around 1996. Farmer, whose sister Annie Farmer was abused by Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell at age 16, told authorities in 1996 that the late financier stole nude images of her siblings. Farmer reported Epstein's behavior with these photographs, but the FBI has never openly recognized that she made such a report, according to the New York Times."
"The police report states that Complainant [Maria Farmer] stated that she is a professional artist and took pictures of her sisters 12 and 16 yrs for her own [personal] Art Work. Epstein Stole the photos and Negatives and is believed to have sold the pictures to potential buyers, it adds. The report also stated that Epstein requested pictures of young girls at swimming pools and threatened Farmer, saying that if she tells anyone about the photos he will burn her house down."
An FBI report filed by Maria Farmer in 1996 states that Epstein stole nude photographs and negatives of her 12- and 16-year-old sisters, photos taken for Farmer's personal art. The report alleges Epstein sold the images and requested pictures of young girls at swimming pools while threatening Farmer that he would burn her house down if she told anyone. The FBI has not publicly acknowledged Farmer's report, and an internal review of the justice department's handling of the Epstein case omitted mention of her complaint. Epstein continued to abuse girls for years after the report, and prosecution related to teen abuse did not occur until the mid-2000s.
