GHISLAINE SHOCK
Epstein pal threatened my life: suit
Jeffrey Epstein’s accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell issued a thinly veiled death threat to one of his accusers after the alleged victim reported Epstein to police, according to a new lawsuit.
In the suit — one of three filed Tuesday against the dead pedophile’s multimillion-dollar estate — Maria Farmer said she was an aspiring artist in 1995 when she was recruited at the age of 26 by Epstein and Maxwell at an art opening in New York.
Farmer said the perv and his gal “violently sexually assaulted” her in the summer of 1996 while she was working on an art project in a guest house reserved for Epstein on the Ohio estate of Victoria’s Secret chief Les Wexner, court papers say.
Wexner’s security personnel “held Maria against her will” and did not let her leave for several hours, “even after she pleaded with them and told them about her assault,” the suit alleges.
After returning to New York, Farmer spoke to police and a Vanity Fair reporter — and then Maxwell made a series of menacing phone calls threatening her career and her life, according to the papers.
“Maxwell again called Maria to threaten her, but this time threatened her life: ‘I know you go to the West Side Highway all the time. While you’re out there, just be really careful because there are a lot of ways to die there,’ ” the suit said.
Farmer said she also witnessed firebrand attorney Alan Dershowitz at Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion on a number of occasions, going upstairs while young girls were there.
Maxwell’s lawyer declined to comment and attorneys for the executors of Epstein’s estate did not respond to requests for comment.
Dershowitz categorically denied that Farmer could have seen him in Epstein’s house.
Farmer filed her suit Tuesday alongside co-accusers Annie Farmer — her younger sister — and Teresa Helm. All three women are seeking damages from Epstein’s $577 million estate, citing battery and emotional distress.
In her suit, Annie Farmer said she was molested by the hedgefund manager at a Big Apple movie theater when she was 16 — and that the abuse continued when Epstein and Maxwell flew her to his New Mexico ranch. It was in New Mexico that the pair repeatedly assaulted the teen, the papers say.
Epstein allegedly fondled Annie in the theater, as he had done in New York, before the assault continued at his ranch.
Maxwell gave Annie a massage and groped her nude breasts while Epstein watched, according to the suit.
In her suit, Helm said she was hired by Epstein at the age of 22 as a traveling masseuse and claimed he sexually assaulted her at his Upper East Side mansion in 2002.
Fellow accuser Jennifer Araoz also filed a lawsuit against the late pedophile’s estate in August, claiming Epstein raped her at his townhouse when she was just 15.
