Known Named Victims: The Women Who Came Forward Publicly

While most Epstein victims testified or filed claims under pseudonyms, a number of women came forward publicly under their own names. Their decisions to be identified were significant acts of advocacy.

Virginia Giuffre (Virginia Roberts)

Virginia Giuffre was the most prominent publicly identified victim. She first came forward publicly around 2015 and subsequently became central to multiple legal proceedings including her claim against Prince Andrew.

Annie Farmer

Annie Farmer came forward by name and testified at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. She described meeting Epstein and Maxwell through her older sister Maria Farmer, who was also a victim. Her testimony covered incidents at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch.

Maria Farmer

Maria Farmer was one of the first people to report Epstein to the FBI, in 1996. She and her sister Annie were both victimized. Maria was among the first victims to give press interviews recounting her experiences.

Courtney Wild

Courtney Wild came forward as an advocate for victim rights, particularly in the litigation over the CVRA violation. She appeared in congressional testimony and was a prominent public face of the campaign.

Sarah Ransome

Sarah Ransome, a British woman, publicly described trafficking by Epstein and Maxwell’s network while she was in her early 20s. She was identified via a British base of operations.

The Many Anonymous

The majority of the 100+ victims who have filed claims or given testimony have done so under pseudonyms (Jane Doe, Carolyn, Kate, Jane). Their anonymity is respected and legally protected.
