PADUCAH, Ky. (FOX 56) — A pair of Kentucky sisters were reportedly the first to blow the whistle on Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to Congressman Robert Garcia, Maria Farmer reported the pair to the FBI in 1996, but her sister Annie said no one followed up on their report. The Farmer sisters are among the many voices calling for the full release of the case files.

“(Epstein) flew me to New Mexico under the guise of meeting to plan for an educational trip he would pay for me to take, and it was there that he and Maxwell abused me at just 16 years old,” Farmer said. “I was quite confused by what happened. I didn’t understand it, and I told no one, until a few months later when, horrifically, my sister was sexually assaulted by them.”

The Farmer sisters are reportedly from Paducah, court documents state. But in 1993, Maria moved to New York City to pursue her art career. It was there she’d meet Epstein and Maxwell at one of her art openings.
