No credible evidence supports the claim of an 18-year-old Epstein victim calling the FBI tip line in 2008, only for an agent to hang up mid-sentence and dismiss her as “not a priority.”
Searches across news archives, court documents, and survivor testimonies reveal no matching incident from 2008. The closest documented case is Maria Farmer’s 1996 report to the FBI (and NYPD), where an agent allegedly hung up on her without follow-up, as detailed in her 2025 lawsuit against the government for negligence (web:0, web:1). Farmer, abused in the 1990s, alleged Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes, but the call was dismissed.
Other early tips, like those from 2005–2006 Palm Beach victims, led to the FBI’s investigation but no immediate arrests, culminating in Epstein’s 2008 plea deal. No 2008 tip-line call with a hang-up and “not a priority” dismissal appears in unsealed files, survivor interviews, or the 2025 Transparency Act releases.
Virginia Giuffre’s memoir Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025) and testimonies from survivors like Annie Farmer highlight systemic inaction, but no specific 2008 incident matches the description. The claim may conflate Farmer’s 1996 experience or broader frustrations with FBI delays.
As Epstein disclosures continue, verified accounts underscore institutional failures—yet this particular story remains unsubstantiated.
