Epstein's Zorro Ranch: New Mexico Reopens Probe into Alleged Sex Crimes

  • New Mexico launches an independent investigation into alleged criminal activity at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch.
  • The bipartisan inquiry aims to uncover what happened at the ranch, why law enforcement failed, and if state institutions allowed Epstein to operate with impunity.
  • A 'truth commission' with subpoena power and a multi-million-dollar budget will gather survivor testimony and official records.
  • Emails from Epstein's files suggest two girls were sexually assaulted, strangled, and buried near the ranch under his orders.
  • The commission's findings are expected to inform potential prosecutions and legal reforms, focusing on institutional accountability.
