Maria Farmer

Maria Kristine Farmer (born 1969 or 1970) is an American visual artist. She came to media attention in 2019 after she told reporters that in 1996, at the age of 26, she provided the first criminal complaint to the FBI about the conduct of financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2002, Farmer described her and her sister's experiences with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to a journalist at Vanity Fair. However, the publication elected not to include the allegation in the article, citing legal concerns.

In 2023, she announced plans to sue the U.S. government for $600 million, and filed her lawsuit in 2025.
