Amid allegations of abuse on Epstein's 'Zorro Ranch,' New Mexico opens new probes

On International Women's Day in March, hundreds of protesters caravanned out to a spot in the desert outside of Santa Fe. Their gathering place was a ranch in the high desert of New Mexico that once belonged to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

One of the demonstrators at the rally at the ranch was Virginia Giuffre's brother, Sky Roberts.

Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, was one of Epstein's most prominent accusers and said she had been sexually abused at the ranch. Roberts referred to two investigations recently started by New Mexico officials.

"This is what we need to see more of state by state. I think New Mexico is taking the first initiative. I think the people of New Mexico are demanding answers, they're demanding justice," Roberts said. "It starts here and there's so much more that we can continue to fight for."
