One of Jeffrey Epstein's victims says she was threatened by his alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell after she went to the authorities.
On Thursday, Maxwell was arrested and charged for her role in the sexual exploitation of numerous young girls.
Maria Farmer told 60 Minutes on Sunday that she reported Epstein and Maxwell for sexual assault in 1996. Farmer said the FBI interviewed her but didn't do anything.
After going to authorities, Farmer said she was threatened and intimidated by Maxwell.
"[She said] I'm going to burn your art and then I'm going to burn your career. And then I'm going to burn you and the house you live in," she told 60 Minutes.
Farmer also revealed that the lack of action from the FBI left her living in fear for years.
"It hurts a lot. And I never had children because of it. Because I didn't feel like they could be safe," she told 60 Minutes.
Farmer met Epstein and Maxwell in 1995 when he hired her to buy art for his New York townhouse.
She told 60 Minutes that during her time working for the billionaire she saw Maxwell bringing young women to him.
"Several times I was in the car with her, and she would ask the driver to stop the car. And she'd dash across to the school or the park or wherever she was going, and she would write down her phone number for a child, a young girl," she said.
Farmer said when the girls later appeared at Epstein's house, Maxwell told her they were models who were auditioning.
"I thought it was really strange because I did see a couple of girls in braces. And I've never seen a model in braces."
She said she only realised what was happening when Maxwell and Epstein assaulted her.
Farmer's younger sister Annie, who was 16 at the time, was also alleged assaulted by them.
