The Harassment Network: What Maria and Virginia Filed About the People They Said Were Destroying Them
Five days before Virginia's death, a federal dossier named figures in the independent media space she and Maria Farmer believed were coordinating a campaign to discredit Epstein survivors.
The Maria and Virginia Series
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part 4
Five days before Virginia Giuffre’s death, Maria Farmer submitted a 41-page federal dossier to the FBI naming figures in the independent media space she believed were coordinating a campaign to discredit Epstein survivors. The document is EFTA01652628. The parallel submission Virginia made the same day went to the British Metropolitan Police — EFTA01652467–72. The claims are theirs. This investigation reports what they said, what is independently verifiable, and where the line between documented fact and allegation runs.
The Maria Dossier investigation established what EFTA01652628 & EFTA01652016 contain and their full scope — this piece focuses specifically on 3 media figures that were named and focuses on one figure the documents place on the opposite side of that ledger entirely. All previous investigations are linked in the sources block and at the top of the page.
EFTA01652628 is Maria Farmer’s submission to the FBI, April 20, 2025. All material in the Tonks, Hervey, Ward, Vedmore, Webb, and Kraus sections derives from Maria’s dossier unless otherwise stated. EFTA01652467–72 is Virginia Giuffre’s parallel submission to the British Metropolitan Police CIT, same date. The Metropolitan Police thread section draws from Virginia’s submission. Where a document could be attributed to either, that uncertainty is stated explicitly. Neither submission has been independently adjudicated. All primary sources are publicly accessible in DOJ Epstein Library Dataset 10.
I became -CIA- to the conspiracy crowd thanks to a pair called WEBBMORE. They labeled me this be I was sodomized by STAN POTTINGER and prior to this Pottinger/Boise/BEDWARDS tormented me with SA abuse/misappropriated funds/lied about an appeal process. Sigrid McCawley and David BOIES lied to both me and my sister [redacted], claiming we couldn't appeal the decision to steal my compensation!!! IT WAS TO COVERUP THEIR BLACKMAIL BANK SCHEME ON BEHALF OF LIBG TERM ADULT SEX WORKERS! Who stays 6-13 years as an adult "employee", committing crimes...and is then paid wildly as I watch and beg for my share as the solo whistleblower! DO YOUR JOBS, everyone!!! Before I'm murdered by this gang. Please do your jobs!!!!
Maria Farmer April 20, 2025 — EFTA01652016
Maria Farmer was a woman in evident distress, her friend Virginia five days from death, filing what she believed was evidence of a coordinated harassment campaign. Her allegations deserve to be reported on. They do not deserve to be laundered into established fact. That distinction is applied rigorously throughout.
The Harassment Network: Tonks, Hervey, and the Maxwell Thread
Before the named journalists, there is a network: Maria documented it in her FBI dossier — not as isolated bad actors but as a functioning system of harassment directed towards Epstein survivors, she believed, to discredit them. All material in this section is from EFTA01652628 — Maria Farmer's submission — unless stated otherwise.
George B. Tonks —
Left: George B. Tonks posts publicly that there is “nothing wrong” with forgiving Les Wexner for what happened “over 40 years ago” — while simultaneously operating as a distributor of private survivor communications.
Right: Tonks promotes Lady Victoria Hervey on TikTok as “very honest & outspoken” and someone “not afraid to expose the truth about the lying fake so-called Epstein victims.” Tags visible: #LadyVictoriaHervey #FBI #MI6 #MI5. Hervey’s account responds: “Those arrests may be coming sooner than we thought.” Both screenshots filed by Maria Farmer with the FBI as evidence of coordinated harassment. EFTA01652018.
George B. Tonks is a convicted felon on federal probation.
That is the first thing to know. Not a commentator, not a critic — a man with a criminal record, under active federal supervision, publicly declaring that there is “nothing wrong” with forgiving Les Wexner — a man credibly connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s operation — for something that happened “over 40 years ago.”
The second thing to know is what he was doing at the same time he was posting that: He was distributing private survivor communications through a Dropbox link — EFTA01652019. He was tagging Lady Victoria Hervey — a woman who publicly calls Epstein survivors “lying” and “fake” — and amplifying her to his followers with hashtags including #FBI, #MI6, and #MI5. And Hervey was responding. “Those arrests may be coming sooner than we thought.” Arrests of whom, exactly, is left unstated. The implication is clear.
The third thing to know is that Maria Farmer filed both of these screenshots with the FBI as evidence. She was not being paranoid. She was documenting, methodically, a man on federal probation coordinating publicly with a Maxwell defender to discredit the women who survived what Wexner and Epstein built together.
Tonks says he has moved on from what happened to him. He has not extended that courtesy to the women still fighting for their lives — he forgives the powerful man and he calls the survivors liars.
That is not healing. That is a choice.
His public announcement upon release from federal supervision: “ENEMIES GET READY.” That is EFTA01652022:
Maria included this screenshot in her emails to the FBI
Maria’s dossier documents Tonks, Krauss and Johnny Vedmore appearing in the same screenshot — EFTA01652026 — establishing what Maria presented as network convergence between her named harassers.
The Exposing Maria Farmer piece: On September 10, 2023, Kraus published a Substack piece calling an Epstein survivor a fraudulent whistleblower. Filed as EFTA01652634. The piece did not originate with Kraus. Its primary source was George B Tonks. The dossier contains the annotation: “Times Three: WARD TONKS KRAUS” — EFTA01652638. Attribution of that specific annotation to Maria or Virginia is not established with certainty; it appears within Maria’s FBI submission.
Lady Victoria Hervey —
Lady Victoria Hervey is a British socialite and longtime Ghislaine Maxwell defender. Maria filed two specific Hervey posts as federal evidence — EFTA01652017–18 — in which Hervey publicly called Epstein survivors “fake” and “paid escorts and rent boys extorting money.”
The document also contains a statement attributed to Tonks: “Lady Victoria communicates with Ghislaine.” That is EFTA01652023. It is a CHS-style allegation within Maria’s dossier — her stated belief, not an independently confirmed fact.
George B Tonks claiming Lady Victoria communicates with Ghislaine & I - documented in the federal record — EFTA01652024
Lady Hervey reply to Virginia Guiffre instagram post EFTA01652024
Maria presented Hervey and Tonks as operating together — Hervey providing the platform and the social legitimacy, Tonks providing the distribution of private communications. Whether that coordination was deliberate or incidental is not established by the documents alone.
Kim Iversen —
Kim Iversen is an independent media host with a large digital audience. She is not a participant in the direct exchanges documented in Maria Farmer’s FBI submission — but a figure who amplifies the voices within it.
Maria’s dossier does not present Iversen as a primary actor in the harrassment network, but places her adjacent to it — as part of the broader media environment in which those narratives were elevated and legitimized.
Content highlighted in the filing shows Iversen platforming figures such as Whitney Webb to tens of thousands of viewers, framing their work as authoritative and essential to understanding the Epstein case.
Maria did not file Iversen as someone distributing her private communications., or as someone directly calling survivors “fake.”
What she documented with Kim, is the ecosystem: The layer where claims become reach and where reach becomes credibility. Where credibility shapes public perception of the women at the center of the case.
Whether that amplification contributed to the harm Maria describes is not established by the documents alone.
What is established is that she believed it mattered enough to include it in a federal submission.
Vicky Ward —
Maria’s own annotation — EFTA01652638 — reads: “Times Three: WARD TONKS KRAUS.” Vicky Ward is an investigative journalist and former Vanity Fair writer. Maria filed her Substack post about Isaac Chotiner’s New Yorker piece alongside Ward defending herself against accusations of lying about the Epstein case. Maria experienced Ward’s reporting as part of the same phenomenon she was documenting, and the nature of that inclusion is Maria’s stated belief in the dossier; it has not been adjudicated.
“Times Three: WARD TONKS KRAUS.” — Maria Farmer, EFTA01652638, five days before her death.
J. Stanley Pottinger
The Pottinger allegation runs through both submissions — and it runs through them independently.
In her April 20, 2025 email to the FBI, Maria Farmer states she was sodomized by Stanley Pottinger — and that rather than this being addressed, it was used against her to apply the WEBBMORE/CIA plant label. That is EFTA01652016.
In her April 20, 2025 submission to the British Metropolitan Police, Virginia Giuffre makes her own independent allegation. She writes:
“Stan Pottinger openly hit on me repeatedly. He tried to kiss me in New York after the deposition I was blackmailed into doing for [redacted] against Ghislaine Maxwell. I was told I had to do the deposition and then they would only represent me in my own litigation. Stan actually had the cheek to hit on me in front of Peter Coulthard. Brad knew and so did you Sigrid and David.” — EFTA01652471
She is naming Brad Edwards, Sigrid McCawley, and David Boies as having direct knowledge, she is also stating she was blackmailed into providing a deposition as a condition of receiving legal representation. Peter Coulthard is named as a witness to Pottinger’s conduct.
Two women, the same attorney, same date. Filing with different authorities on two different continents. Independently from each other.
Pottinger died on November 27, 2024 — five months before either woman filed these documents. A dedicated Last Page First investigation into Pottinger, his background, and the full evidentiary record is forthcoming.
JOHNNY VEDMORE
Johnny Vedmore is an independent investigative journalist and musician from Cardiff, Wales. Founder of NEWSPASTE.com. Former contributor and researcher at Whitney Webb’s Unlimited Hangout.
— @JohnnyVedmore
Johnny Vedmore is an independent investigative journalist and musician from Cardiff, Wales. Founder of NEWSPASTE.com, former contributor and researcher at Whitney Webb’s Unlimited Hangout.
Maria’s dossier includes screenshots of Vedmore’s tweets — calling Maria Farmer a CIA plant, a compulsive liar, and someone whose testimony should be inadmissible — submitted to the FBI as harassment evidence. Those tweets are EFTA01652656–65. Maria compiled and filed them.
What this investigation adds is what Vedmore himself says those claims are based on: his Pottinger Ultimatum series. Across multiple articles published on newspaste.com, Vedmore argues that J. Stanley Pottinger — the attorney who represented Epstein victims — was part of a CIA managed controlled takedown of Epstein. In Vedmore’s telling, Maria Farmer was a knowing participant placed within the victim legal team to manage the narrative. To Johnny, this wasn’t a pure victim narrative — it was influenced or managed by intelligence-linked actors. His position is not that the record is incomplete. It is that it is compromised, he argues that a central Epstein victim was not only unreliable, but embedded — tied to a CIA adjacent legal framework from the beginning.
He presents this as sourced analysis and delivers it as certainty.
Maria Farmer filed it as harassment.
Maria’s own allegations against Pottinger appear elsewhere in the same 41-page filing. The two threads — Vedmore’s Pottinger research and Maria’s Pottinger allegations — run parallel through the dossier. Whether they connect is not established by the documents alone. What is established is that Maria experienced Vedmore’s public campaign as harassment and put it on the federal record.
Vedmore tweet, February 27, 2025: the redacted individual was “already a paid member of the CIA led legal team being formed” while giving her first interviews. Maria Farmer filed this tweet with the FBI as harassment evidence.
— EFTA01652648
Watch the pivot:
From Epstein — to the victims.
From documented abuse — to rumor, blame, and noise.
That’s not confusion, that’s redirection.
Vedmore frames it as reporting.
Others describe it as harassment.
Maria Farmer filed it as evidence.
WHITNEY WEBB
Whitney Webb is an investigative journalist and author of One Nation Under Blackmail. She conducted a phone call with Maria Farmer that was released without Maria’s meaningful consent, according to Maria’s account. Maria Farmer filed Webb’s tweet re: release of private communications as federal evidence — EFTA01652644.
— @_whitneywebb
The Maria Dossier investigation documented that the victims filed two specific items against Webb: Maria Farmer’s direct confrontation and Webb’s tweet stating she held private communications with a survivor and that she would release them if necessary, to protect herself. Both are EFTA01652644 and EFTA01652661
I was screamed at and pressured during brain trauma! You can make your little recordings and edit all you want. YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A SICK WOMAN TO SELL HER LIKE A PROSTITUTE! WHY WOULD I EVER WILLINGLY GIVE PERMISSION. IN MY RIGHT MIND?! I HAD NOTHING TO GAIN AND I TRUSTED YOU BASED ON YOU KNOWING STUPID NICK AND NICK KNOWING BRAD! I AM THE OPPOSITE OF YOUR COLD, CRUEL USERY!
The place i saw the recording on YouTube was UNLIMITED HANGOUT. That is what it says. THANK TO YOU NOT HONORING WHAT I BEGGED OF YOU, it was widely sourced. YOU ARE NOT A REAL JOURNO. I know many at every real publication and made friends with them..THEY NEVER USE NOR ABUSE ANYONE! I cried to you and said my gallery was cancelled over what you did! A real journalist DOES NO HARM!! I KNOW!!
If you go to Vimeo and search, this is the only recoding of me to surface. My enemies remain in my prayers, I want no woman unsafe and abused by a man!
In April 2020, Webb conducted a 3 hour phone call with Maria Farmer, who was undergoing cancer treatment following brain radiation surgery. The call was published by The Last American Vagabond and later republished on Webb’s Unlimited Hangout. Maria has stated she did not meaningfully consent to its release, and as you can tell from her message above to Webb — she really did damage to her.
Two years later, on May 2, 2022, Webb removed the recording at Maria’s request. But the interview was already cited in One Nation Under Blackmail — Webb’s two volume investigation into the Epstein network, published the same year. Information Maria shared during a call she says was taken without meaningful consent became source material for one of the most cited independent works on the case.
The day after Virginia died, Maria wrote into an email chain that included David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Ronan Farrow, and Emily Steel: “Whitney Webb was a nightmare for us all, the last few years. All bc I picked up my phone to a cold call the day following brain radiation surgery.” That email is EFTA01652464
Millions of views, mass reach.
The same voices — amplified, repeated, legitimized.
Whitney Webb on Glenn Beck right before Benjamin Netanyahu, interesting.
Maria Farmer, in her own words “….the couple who destroyed truth and reality in the Epstein case…”

JESSICA REED KRAUS
From Substack to prime time platforms. — EFTA01652635
Jessica Reed Kraus runs the House Inhabit Substack. She received White House Press Pool access and an “Epstein Files Phase 1 binder” in February 2025. Maria compiled documentation of her public actions and submitted it to the FBI five days before her death.
The Maria Dossier investigation documented the public record she compiled: the Free Ghislaine shirt at the DNC, the White House Press Pool pass, the February 2025 Epstein binder from Pam Bondi, and the September 2023 Substack piece titled ‘Exposing Maria Farmer.’ The Sydney Morning Herald described her as “Mar a Lago’s favorite mummy” alongside a photograph of Kraus with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones — an image Maria also filed.
What happened after Virginia’s death is the record this section adds. In September 2025, Kraus published a series of Instagram Stories attacking Epstein survivors by name. She wrote:
“Participating in a sexual experience at 26 with two other adults is called a threesome, not rape.”
“Maybe stop boarding the flights that take you to the island.” The Daily Beast and HuffPost both covered the posts.
Kraus had already received White House press credentials and an Epstein binder from Pam Bondi’s DOJ before Virginia died. The September 2025 posts came after. They sit in direct continuation of the public record Maria had already filed as evidence five days before Virginia’s death

RYLIBERTY — IN THE FEDERAL RECORD
An April 19, 2025 email sent to a network of attorneys, journalists, and Epstein linked figures, subject line: “EPSTEIN INJUSTICE – WE ARE ALL WATCHING YOU.” Among the recipients — many with direct or indirect ties to Epstein litigation — is independent researcher Ryan Dawson, who has been repeatedly de-platformed for his work examining financial and institutional connections in the Epstein case.
“EPSTEIN INJUSTICE – WE ARE ALL WATCHING YOU.” Among the recipients is independent researcher Ryan Dawson
—EFTA01651945
There is an irony embedded in these documents that has gone unreported. While journalists with mainstream platforms, podcast networks, and publishing deals built audiences covering the Epstein case, one of the earliest and most comprehensive independent researchers was being banned from every platform he tried to use to tell this story.
Ryan Dawson began documenting the Epstein network before most people had heard Jeffrey Epstein’s name. He was removed from Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, YouTube — multiple times — from crypto exchanges, and even from MySpace, way back when that was a thing, for publishing research on a case the mainstream press would not touch for years. He operated from the margins while others built careers in the center. He was restored to X only after Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform. He is recognized across the independent research community as among the earliest and most thorough chroniclers of the case.
The federal record places him in a specific and documented light. It is not the light his critics would choose.
Virginia Giuffre and Maria Farmer followed Ryan Dawson’s work. On April 19, 2025 — the day before Maria filed her 41 page evidentiary dossier with the FBI — Maria embedded his tweet and her painting titled Zelchuk’d into a mass email directed at David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Brad Edwards, Simone Lelchuk, the FBI, and the Metropolitan Police. The people she believed had failed her and Virginia. The people she was building a case against.
She was using his voice as evidence — aimed directly at her own legal team and at the federal agents who had given her zero protection as a federal witness. His tweet characterizing Epstein participants as willing actors was a weapon she chose to deploy against the lawyers and institutions she held responsible. Maria Farmer, five days before Virginia’s death, chose Ryan Dawson’s words to say what she could not say alone: EFTA01652473.
Virginia also copied Dawson on her April 19 federal submission — the same email that went to her attorneys, FBI agents, and Metropolitan Police contacts. He was part of the network of people that Maria and Virginia trusted with their documented communication to federal authorities.
The day after Virginia died, Dawson wrote into the email chain started by Maria that included David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Ronan Farrow of The New Yorker, and Emily Steel of The New York Times. He did not write to promote himself. He wrote to defend her and Virginia — and to push back, on the record, against the conspiracy theories spreading about how she had died.
She is a huge reason why Epstein and Maxwell and Brunel all landed behind bars and why Prince Andrew lost 16 million. She did great damage to the pedophile network. But they also did great damage to her. Honor what she did. She took them down.
— Ryan Dawson — EFTA01652715, the day Virginia died.
His words continued:
“She was absolutely heart broken. Devastatingly hallowed… She wasn’t doing well, that’s all I will say. And it was not a surprise to me at all that she took her own life. She had a 5 year nightmare with serial rapists. She jailed 3 of them and sued others. She brought closure to hundreds of women. She took on a team of lawyers with nothing and won. Never forget her courage and sacrifice. RIP.”
Maria then responded directly to Dawson in the same chain — the chain that also included Boies, McCawley, Farrow, and Steel: “Thank you Ryan. You are a true soldier.”
That exchange is in the federal record and it will remain there permanently.
Now consider what that same federal record shows about two people named here, who built platforms, audiences, and income from the Epstein research space during the same years Dawson was being banned from every platform he tried to use.
Whitney Webb — whose Unlimited Hangout and publishing deal made her one of the most recognized names in independent Epstein coverage — recorded a phone call with Maria Farmer during Maria’s cancer treatment and released it without Maria’s meaningful consent, according to Maria’s documented account in EFTA01652661. On the day Virginia died, Maria wrote: “Whitney Webb was a nightmare for us all, the last few years.”
Johnny Vedmore — a contributor and researcher at that same Unlimited Hangout — compiled a public record of tweets calling the same redacted survivor a CIA plant, a compulsive liar, and someone whose testimony should be inadmissible in every court. Maria compiled those tweets and filed them with the FBI as evidence of harassment. EFTA01652656 through EFTA01652665.
Vedmore and Webb had platforms, audiences. They had reach. Ryan Dawson had none of those things — because he had been removed from every platform that would have given them to him.
The federal record does not adjudicate who was right about the Epstein case. But it does record, permanently, who Virginia Giuffre and Maria Farmer trusted with her final submission to federal authorities — and who she held responsible for her suffering in the documents she filed five days before her death.
Maria Farmer did not file separate complaints about three unrelated individuals. She filed a single 41 page evidentiary dossier in which she presented Vedmore, Webb, Kraus and others as part of a connected phenomenon — the use of independent media to discredit, delegitimize, and isolate Epstein survivors.
Vedmore publicly calling Maria Farmer a CIA plant — based on his Pottinger Ultimatum research — in tweets he posted to thousands of his followers. Webb releasing an interview Maria says she did not meaningfully consent to, citing it in a book, then publicly stating she held private communications with a survivor she would release if necessary. Maria saying, in an email on the federal record that “Whitney Webb was a nightmare for us all, the last few years. All bc I picked up my phone to a cold call the day following brain radiation surgery.” Kraus calling an Epstein survivor a fraudulent whistleblower on her Substack, and receiving a White House Press Pool pass then being given the Epstein files binder by the same administration she covers favorably.
Maria presented these as connected — whether they are connected in any coordinated or organized sense — whether there is a network in the way Maria used that word — is not established by the documents alone. What the documents establish is that three figures operating in the independent media space covering Epstein produced content Maria Farmer experienced as targeting, as harmful, and as part of a campaign to destroy her and Virginia. She compiled documentation of that content and submitted it to federal agents five days before she died.
She put it on the record. So has Last Page First. People deserve to see the whole record.

Immediate follow. Please see my She-Wolves series. I am covering this very thing and it involves Lady Victoria Hervey who partnered with Kraus on this campaign! This is serious and real! Thank you for pointing this out!!!🙏
We’ve got to get every last one of these motherfuckers!
