Authorities in Santa Fe, New Mexico, are investigating allegations of sexual abuse by the late Jeffrey Epstein at his Zorro Ranch compound. The Truth Commission has confirmed that it is in contact with several local women and girls who claim to have been abused by Epstein and his associates. Representative Marianna Anaya, who co-sponsored the state's probe, stated that the commission is working with the New Mexico Department of Justice to assist survivors in potentially bringing charges against Epstein's co-conspirators. This investigation follows the U.S. Department of Justice's release of millions of files related to Epstein, including disturbing claims about abuse at the ranch. In 2019, around 45 individuals sought support from Solace Sexual Assault Services in Santa Fe, with an estimated 25-50% of those contacts being related to alleged abuse at the ranch. However, none of the women filed police complaints at that time. The investigation aims to uncover the extent of the abuse and support survivors in their pursuit of justice.
