New woman comes forward in Epstein case joining suit against Alan Dershowitz

Another woman who claims to have been sexually assaulted by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein has come forward, joining a defamation lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz, reports the Miami Herald.

For years, Dershowitz has maintained his innocence and accused the alleged victim of making false accusations.

The latest woman to come forward, an artist named Maria Farmer, then 26, said in the mid-90s she was sexually assaulted by Epstein and that she regularly saw under-aged girls go up to his residence. At the time, she was told they were being assessed for modeling jobs.

She also claims her then-15-year-old sister was molested by Epstein and his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 1996. The woman does not accuse Alan Dershowitz of sexually assaulting her.
