Two women who alleged they were abused by Epstein pointed to Maxwell as the figure who drew them towards the financier. A woman alleged earlier this year that she met Maxwell at an art show in 1995. She alleged that months later, Maxwell sexually assaulted her alongside Epstein at a property in Ohio before molesting her 15-year-old sister at Epstein's New Mexico ranch,Epstein reportedly later called her and invited her to New York to begin work as his art consultant.
"When I asked Maxwell why these young girls were coming over to the house so often she said that the girls were interviewing for modeling positions," Farmer reportedly said in the affidavit."At the time, based on my observations at the home, it did not seem credible to me that these young girls were interviewing for modeling positions.
