"We now all know that the FBI ignored my 1996 reports of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell's sexual abuse of minors and possession of (child abuse material) which I made not for myself but for vulnerable girls like my younger sisters and Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Farmer said. Since then, they have engaged in a systematic cover-up to protect him and his circle of powerful abusers. This revelation brings some validation but not justice or accountability."
"When institutions like the FBI and the DOJ failed to address the claims of Maria Farmer and others that came forward after her, it feels like they too are part of the exploitation, Chartouni said in a newly released statement. By not investigating, they not only tolerated, they enabled both CSA and the abuse of thousands of innocent girls and young women. Their inaction sends a message that sexual abuse victims are not valued."
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell issued statements accusing the FBI and Department of Justice of disregarding decades-old reports of sexual abuse of minors. Maria Farmer said she reported Epstein and Maxwell in 1996 and that the FBI ignored her reports of sexual abuse and possession of child abuse material, later engaging in a systematic cover-up to protect Epstein and his powerful circle. Farmer said the revelation brings some validation but not justice or accountability. Marijke Chartouni said institutional failures by the FBI and DOJ enabled widespread child sexual abuse and signaled that victims are not valued. The Justice Department released tens of thousands of files, including a 2020 tip alleging Trump raped a young woman.
