United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, S2 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)
Dear Judge Nathan:
I am counsel for Maria Farmer, and I am providing the following victim impact statement
for the Court's consideration with respect to Maxwell's sentencing.
Pursuant to the Crimes Victims' Rights Act, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3771, Ms. Maria Farmer
qualifies as a victim as the Defendant participated in her trafficking in 1996. Due to a medical
issue, Ms. Farmer is unable to attend the sentencing in person, therefore she respectfully requests
that the Court read her statement into the record or, alternatively, allow her attorney representative
Sigrid McCawley to read the statement on her behalf.
Statement by Maria Farmer:
My life was on a trajectory to be a well-known and well-respected artist when I was
derailed by Ghislaine Maxwell. I was studying with the phenomenal artists Eric Fischl and Chuck
Close, while doing art for Director James Brooks when I was held captive and assaulted by Jeffrey
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell on the Wexner estate in 1996. I was freshly graduated from a
Masters program in Art-something I worked towards all of my life. Ghislaine began threatening
my life and destroying my livelihood following my return from being falsely imprisoned at
Wexner's.
She wasn't happy just destroying my career, she also assured me my future was destroyed
and she did everything in her vast power to accomplish this goal. She threatened my family and
friends.
I have severe PTSD and two cancers as a result of my forced solitude, poverty, and quality
of life while in hiding.
The shame I associated with my art following Ghislaine's abuse was overwhelming. I
stopped painting. The thing is, this was never my shame to carry. I was a figurative artist doing
what artists do, paint. The beholders of my art, Epstein and Maxwell, perverted it into what they
