Summary
This is a memo dated August 5, 2025, from the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP to federal judges Richard M. Berman and Paul A. Engelmayer. The firm, writing on behalf of victim Annie Farmer, responds to a notice about the potential unsealing of grand jury transcripts for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The memo strongly criticizes the U.S. Government for not pursuing further criminal investigations, despite admitting there were over a thousand victims, calling this inaction a 'cowardly abdication' of its duties.

Re: Unsealing of Grand Jury Transcripts in U.S. v. Epstein, 19-cr-490 (RMB) and U.S. v. Maxwell, 20-cr-330 (PAE)
Dear Judges Berman and Engelmayer,
We write on behalf of Annie Farmer in response to the belated notice that we received from the Department of Justice on July 25, 2025, advising that the Court is seeking letters on behalf of victims setting out their positions on the proposed disclosures of Jeffrey Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s grand jury transcripts.¹
By the Government’s admission, “over one thousand victims” suffered from Epstein’s and Maxwell’s actions. To date, however, the combined forces of our country’s law enforcement agencies have only ever arrested these two individuals in connection with crimes committed against countless young women and girls, and the Government’s recent suggestion that no further criminal investigations are forthcoming is a cowardly abdication of its duties to protect and serve.²
¹ Ms. Farmer is a survivor of Epstein’s and Maxwell’s crimes and testified at Maxwell’s trial. While the undersigned counsel has, at various times, represented hundreds of victims of Epstein and Maxwell aside from Ms. Farmer, the Department of Justice’s notice did not identify the specific victims whose names, likenesses, or information may be subject to disclosure.
² Of those two, Epstein escaped justice through his apparent suicide, and Maxwell is now, to the victims’ horror, herself attempting to escape justice by negotiating for herself a potential pardon
