New Mexico approves comprehensive probe of Epstein’s Zorro Ranch
A $2.5 million bipartisan probe with subpoena power will investigate Epstein's Zorro Ranch to identify involved individuals and close legal loopholes, said New Mexico lawmakers.
- On Feb 16, New Mexico lawmakers passed legislation to create a $2.5 million subpoena-capable commission investigating Zorro Ranch, starting Tuesday with interim findings due in July and a final report by year-end.
- Following U.S. Department of Justice releases of Epstein files, renewed scrutiny revealed ties to two former New Mexico governors and Hector Balderas's stalled 2019 probe, prompting lawmakers' calls for answers.
- A bipartisan committee will seek testimony from survivors and local residents about alleged abuse at the ranch, while ranch manager Brice Gordon told the FBI Epstein hired local massage therapists and spa Ten Thousand Waves denied involvement last Tuesday.
- Officials say testimony could support future prosecutions, New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez has assigned a special agent, and victim advocates praised the move addressing overlooked cases, with Andrea Romero saying, `He was basically doing anything he wanted in this state without any accountability whatsoever.`
- Epstein's political ties and reported campaign contributions increase reputational stakes as Marianna Anaya drafts legislation to extend New Mexico's statute of limitations for survivors, citing a $22,000 charter flight involving Gary King.
