Case 1:19-cv-03377 Document 1-12 Filed 04/16/19 Page 2 of 4 United States District Court Southern District of New York VIRGINIA L. GIUFFRE, Plaintiff, Case No.: v. ALAN DERSHOWITZ, Defendant. / AFFIDAVIT I, Maria Farmer, swear and affirm as follows: 1. I am currently over the age of 18 and presently reside in Kentucky. 2. In approximately 1995, I was an artist and a graduate student and I met Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at an art show where I was displaying some of my art. Epstein said that if I sold him one of my paintings for half price he would help me with my career. I sold him the painting that night for half price which was approximately $6000.00. In 1996, Jeffrey Epstein called me and told me he was looking for someone to help him with acquiring art. I took the job with Epstein but ultimately my job responsibilities were not simply to purchase art but included manning the front door at his New York mansion and keeping records of people who came to the home. 3, During the time I was supervising the door at Epstein’s mansion, I witnessed a number of school age girls coming to the home, some of the young girls would be wearing their school uniforms. The girls would come into the NY mansion and then would be escorted upstairs. When I asked Maxwell why these young girls were coming over to the house so often she said that the girls were interviewing for modeling positions. At the time, based on my observations at the home, it did not seem credible to me that these young girls were interviewing for modeling positions. 4, Alan Dershowitz was an individual who came to visit Epstein at his New York mansion a number of times when I was working for Epstein. Dershowitz was very comfortable at the home and would come in and walk upstairs. On a number occasions I witnessed Dershowitz at the NY mansion going upstairs at the same time there were young girls under the age of 18 who were present upstairs in the house. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018027
