At age 16, Farmer was invited to Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico under the pretense of help with academics and college applications. During the visit:
At Maxwell's December 2021 trial, Farmer testified: "I felt frozen. All these experiences made me feel like they had a very different interest in me." She read aloud excerpts from her teenage diary about the disturbing interactions and identified Maxwell at the defense table.
Her testimony was critical to Maxwell's conviction on five counts including sex trafficking of minors. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years.
Following the conviction: "What happened to me was not okay. It has affected my life in profound ways, and I know I'm not alone."
