A new documentary has brought forward harrowing allegations from survivors and witnesses regarding Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro ranch in New Mexico, claiming it was a site for violent sex games, including gang rapes and strangulations. The revelations have prompted a fresh criminal inquiry by New Mexico lawmakers, who launched an investigation in February after hearing "very disturbing reports" of activities at the isolated property near Stanley.
Survivor Testimonies
In the documentary, victims detailed the alleged depravity at the ranch. One survivor, who was trafficked across multiple Epstein properties, described Zorro as the most terrifying. She told 60 Minutes: "The scariest was Zorro Ranch. It’s in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by mountains and miles and miles of dirt. There was a lot of time being in my room like a mouse in a trap waiting for a knock on the door and for someone to say, ‘Jeffrey is ready for his massage now’." She explained that the massage order meant "Rape, full on, forced on sexual rape."
Previous Unsubstantiated Claims
The documentary builds on an anonymous tip to the FBI in 2019, which claimed two "foreign girls" died during sex at the ranch and were buried on its grounds. That tip led to a state investigation this year, including a criminal case by the New Mexico Department of Justice and a "truth commission" by the state legislature.
Democrat Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury, who has vowed to turn the Epstein files into trials, commented on the tip: "That particular tip … matched the pattern of other abuse and transport and trafficking of women. And that’s why it raised alarm bells for me. There’s certainly hundreds of allegations of women who experienced really dark experiences." She added that investigators have conducted a full physical investigation of the 7,500-acre property, including imaging and technical analysis, and discovered handwritten letters, documents, and books still on site.
