A lawyer representing several women who say they were victimized by deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is now seeking some answers.
Jennifer Freeman, senior counsel at the Marsh Law Firm, specifically sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz last week demanding to know why they did nothing about Epstein despite years of women and girls crying foul.
“As counsel to many survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy, we write regarding the failure of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to properly, adequately, or timely investigate the sex trafficking of hundreds of girls and young women,” the letter reads.
“The FBI utterly failed to investigate serious allegations involving Epstein’s, and perhaps others’, child sex abuse materials (CSAM), significant additional criminality which, until recently, has been disregarded, disrespected, and essentially denied,” it continues.

Freeman added that the DOJ “conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine why there was and remains such abject failure to timely investigate, expose, and prosecute this unprecedented, decades-long criminal conspiracy.”
What her clients are reportedly seeking is an explanation for why it took the Department of Justice so long to go after Epstein.
One of Freeman’s clients is Maria Farmer.
“In August of 1996 one of our clients, Maria Farmer, reported to the FBI that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell had sexually abused her and that the two of them, together with others, were committing multiple, serious, sexual abuse crimes, including hands-on sexual abuse, against minors and vulnerable young women,” the letter reads.
“In addition, she reported to the FBI that Epstein, and perhaps others, appeared to be engaged in the production, possession, and distribution of sexually suggestive or exploitative images of children that could constitute CSAM.”
CSAM is short for “child sexual abuse material.”
Speaking with The Daily Beast, Farmer said that she saw binders containing photographs of teen girls at Epstein’s Palm Beach Mansion.
“At the time, Farmer [said], Epstein’s then-girlfriend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell claimed these young visitors and photographs were related to ‘modeling’ jobs for Limited Brands, owned by Epstein’s billionaire client Les Wexner,” the outlet notes.
“But Farmer’s suspicions about her employer turned into a living nightmare after Epstein and Maxwell allegedly assaulted her in Ohio, where she spent the summer working on an art project at Wexner’s estate. Wexner’s security guards, she says, held her against her will for hours after she tried to flee the premises.”
When she eventually returned home, she filed reports with both the New York Police Department and the FBI, but they did nothing.
“Deathly afraid, on August 29, 1996, Ms. Farmer reported in detail Epstein’s and Maxwell’s criminality to her local police department, the NYPD Sixth Precinct,” the letter reads.
“The NYPD said that while they could address the local fire threats, they were unable to do anything about other possibly illegal activities occurring outside their jurisdiction, such as the abuse and theft perpetrated in Ohio, and other illegal activities,” it continues.
Despite Farmer filing her complaint in 1996, Epstein and his madam, Maxwell, weren’t prosecuted until decades later.
“In 2019 — just as Ms. Farmer had reported to the FBI years decades earlier — Epstein was charged with sex trafficking while sexually suggestive images of young girls were in
fact found in a safe in Epstein’s New York mansion,” the letter notes.
“According to the SDNY prosecutors’ memorandum seeking to deny Epstein bail, the 2019 search of Epstein’s mansion unearthed a ‘vast trove of lewd photographs’ of young looking girls, including hundreds of meticulously labeled nude pictures locked
in a safe.'”
As previously reported, 2019 is also the same year Epstein allegedly and rather mysteriously committed suicide after being arrested on sex trafficking charges.
Dovetailing back to the letter, it also contains additional shocking details.
For example, “Freeman’s letter notes that Farmer also believed that Epstein and Maxwell had snatched some photographs of her younger sisters, one of whom was 11 years old and ‘partially dressed,’ from her collection during her stay at Wexner’s property,” according to The Daily Beast.
“Farmer [said] those images were for an art series on adolescence. ‘They were not sexual,’ she said. When Farmer confronted Epstein and Maxwell about their activities, they allegedly threatened her safety and warned they’d light her artwork on fire.”
