In the summer of 1996, Maria Farmer said Epstein sent her to be "an artist in residence" on the vast estate of Leslie Wexner, the CEO of L Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret.   
"How would you describe Epstein's relationship with Wexner?" Mason asked.
"Epstein told me what their relationship was. He said Wexner would do anything for him. He bragged about it," Farmer said.
The estate, she said, was heavily guarded by armed security and dogs. She stayed in what she was told was the guest house. 
"Did you ever see him?" Mason asked.
"No. I called Wexner 'The Wizard of Oz.' He was the one behind the curtain that had all the power," Farmer said.
Farmer alleges in her complaint that Maxwell and Epstein sexually assaulted her there. 
"How were you doing at that moment?" Mason asked.
"Oh, I was hysterical," Farmer said.
Farmer alleges in her complaint that when she tried to flee the following day, she wasn't allowed to leave. She claims a member of Wexner's staff warned her.
"His exact words were: 'You're not going anywhere. You are never leaving. You are never leaving,'" she said. She escaped only after calling her father for help, she said.

“Leslie Wexner likes having a hatchet man,” one said. “Whenever there is dirty work to be done he’d stick Jeffrey Epstein on it. ... He has a reputation for being ruthless but he gets the job done.” -Vox
