About

Annie Farmer testified for the government on Day 10 about trips to New York and New Mexico. Before she took the stand, counsel agreed to limit hearsay from her sister Maria Farmer and testimony offering opinions about grooming.

Farmer testified that Jeffrey Epstein purchased a ticket for her to visit her sister in New York when she was 16. She described Epstein touching her during a movie. She also recounted a 1996 trip to New Mexico, where she met Ghislaine Maxwell, received a massage from Maxwell, and had other interactions with Epstein. The government introduced photographs and journal entries from the period, while the court addressed hearsay objections and instructed the jury on the limited use of information Farmer had been told.

On cross-examination, defense counsel questioned Farmer about her journals, prior interviews, and the date of the New Mexico trip. Farmer said her journals refreshed details of the New York visit but acknowledged that no journal documented the New Mexico trip. She explained that she placed that trip in April 1996 using the release date of Primal Fear and friends' memories of prom. She also confirmed receiving a $1.5 million award from the Epstein victims' compensation fund and said she had no financial stake in the trial's outcome.

Farmer testified again on redirect. Later, in response to a jury question, the court ruled that the jury could consider her testimony when evaluating the conspiracy charges in Counts One and Three.
