New Mexico Launches Comprehensive Investigation into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch
New Mexico lawmakers have initiated the state’s first comprehensive investigation into activities at Zorro Ranch, the property of the late Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sex trafficking and abuse. A bipartisan committee will gather testimony from survivors and local residents, aiming to identify individuals who may have been aware of or involved in the alleged abuses. This investigation, funded by $2.5 million and possessing subpoena power, seeks to address potential legal gaps that enabled Epstein’s operations in the state. Interim findings are expected in July, with a final report by year’s end, and testimony could inform future prosecutions.
