1. I am hoping all who might have some doubt as to whether Maxwell was a "victim" or a predator of the worst kind...

Watch this! Maria Farmer was quite compelling. She was the latter.

And to the men (especially) who look at the photos of Maxwell and can't imagine her being the monster described--or any woman for that matter- I say think again. Look at some of the most foul and monstrous Republican women in Congress (MTG immediately comes to mind). And tell me that they cannot be the self-serving predators that Maxwell has been convicted of crimes for being...)

Maria Farmer was incredibly compelling. I need a drink (and I almost never drink...) sigh..

2. Out of curiosity did she mention abuse of herself or her sister by anyone other than Maxwell or Epstein

even tangentially, without naming names? Does she have personal knowledge about the child prostitution ring to the rich and powerful?

And yeah, Maxwell is almost as sick and twisted as Epstein, no question.

3. The questions asked and focus were on Epstein/Maxwell and all the many victims she has maintained contact with...

She WANTS to testify before Congress or in court or anywhere else her voice can be used to both counter the lies emerging re: Maxwell and to speak for the victims who simply can't. She was in the earlier phase of all of this horror so she is older. Sadly she has been/is battling two forms of cancer so I get the impression that she is especially determined to speak out (she testified in the earliest trial of Epstein that was later whitewashed by the Republican US Attorney at the time) and either was on the list or was not called in the second trial.

If she knows anything about other offenders, what she did say and the emotions behind it--as well as Jen's sensitivity to the many victims for which she was speaking--did not allow that detour in the discussion. I understand why Jen didn't ask. If you watch, I think you will too.
