Epstein survivor: US version of royalty is ‘billionaire class’

Politico, February 20, 2026

Annie Farmer, a survivor of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, called for the U.S. to go after billionaires connected to Epstein’s crimes after former Prince Andrew was arrested by British authorities on Thursday morning.

“In this country, it feels like our system prioritizes profit over all else, and so our version of royalty is really the billionaire class. … I’m just really hoping we can follow the U.K.’s lead and hold our own royal class, these billionaires, accountable,” Farmer told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday evening.

Farmer said she hoped the U.S. would follow the U.K.’s lead and prosecute billionaires involved in Epstein’s crimes. She and her sister, Maria Farmer, are both Epstein victims.

“It is complicated because what we’ve seen from the DOJ has left me with little faith that they will do the right thing,” Annie Farmer said. “That has not occurred, but I do think that public pressure means a lot, and I think if they continue to feel the pressure that I believe they are now, that they may be forced to act.”
