A survivor’s voice cracked with exhaustion yet burned with resolve as Annie Farmer, abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at 16, spoke out amid the raging controversy over the delayed Epstein files release.
Farmer, one of the few survivors to testify publicly at Maxwell’s 2021 trial, addressed a packed Capitol Hill press conference on November 18, 2025, her words a defiant stand against DOJ delays under Attorney General Pam Bondi. “We’ve waited decades for the truth,” she said, voice wavering but eyes fierce. “These files aren’t political toys—they’re our lives. Every delay is another betrayal.”
Abused in 1996 at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch under the guise of an “educational program,” Farmer detailed Maxwell’s grooming and Epstein’s assault, her sister Maria reporting them to the FBI that year—ignored. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed November 19 after bipartisan pressure, mandates disclosure by December 19, but redactions and “active investigation” claims have fueled outrage.
Farmer’s plea echoed Virginia Giuffre’s Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025), amplifying survivor demands. “Virginia fought until April 25,” she said, voice breaking. “Her truth lives in these files. Release them—all of them.” The crowd, including survivors like Haley Robson, chanted “No more delays!”
With 3.5 million X posts under #ReleaseEpsteinFiles (70% supportive), Farmer’s resolve—exhausted yet unbreakable—mirrors the fight: survivors refusing to let power bury their pain again.
