Epstein threatened to burn woman’s house down if she told anyone about him, the documents claim

The release of tens of thousands of files from probes into deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has confirmed that a former employee warned the FBI in 1996 that he was seeking out child pornography - a decade before the agency investigated the financier.

“I’ve waited 30 years,” Maria Farmer told The New York Times after the Justice Department released files Friday. Among the documents was Farmer’s report to the bureau, which is thought to be the first time someone reported Epstein to law enforcement.

Farmer, who accused Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sexually assaulting her in a 2019 lawsuit, has said she faced threats and claims that she was inventing her story, for years.

“I can’t believe it,” Farmer added. “They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

    Rich people are allowed to rape girls in America. Law enforcement is an enabler, not an obstacle. Nobody is even talking about how to change that.

    For every 1,000 sexual assaults, only 25 people will be incarcerated. America doesn’t give a tiny shit about people getting raped. When it happens to girls and women, we ignore it. When it happens to boys and men, it’s a joke. That’s still going to be true if Trump and everybody you hate is rotting in prison.
