Summary
This document is a page from the court transcript of the United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), dated August 10, 2022. It features the direct testimony of witness A. Farmer, who is reading a journal entry describing a movie outing with Jeffrey Epstein where he engaged in uncomfortable physical contact (holding hands, caressing arm and foot). The entry reveals the witness's internal conflict, attempting to rationalize his behavior as 'fatherly' or 'flirting' because he was simultaneously paying for her summer program and college, and she felt unable to tell 'Maria' because Maria 'worships' Epstein.

2 One night we went to the movies with Jeffrey Epstein.
3 It was -- it was a little weird; one of those things that is
4 hard to explain. We were sitting next to each other, and he
5 put out his hand for me to hold, and we were holding hands.
6 Not weird. Normal. Fine. Then he kind of caressed, rubbed my
7 arm and shoe, foot. It was one of those things that just gave
8 me a weird feeling, but wasn't that weird and probably normal.
9 The one thing that kind of weirded me out about it was
10 he let go of my hand when he was talking to Maria. Oh, well, I
11 decided it was no big deal. It just made me mad because he's
12 being so amazing, paying for a summer program for me and
13 helping me with college. He's so nice and so generous with
14 everyone. I just didn't want to have any weird feelings about
15 it. I didn't/couldn't say anything to Maria about it because
16 she worships him and it would just create problems. I couldn't
17 tell anyone else because it is not a big deal and I didn't want
18 to portray him in a bad light. I really don't think it is a
19 big deal. I think he is just a relaxed guy and likes to flirt
20 or was being fatherly or something. I know this sounds like me
21 trying to justify him doing something weird, but it isn't.
