Three decades after one Epstein survivor reported her abuse at Zorro Ranch to the FBI, the family of another victim, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has returned to the gates of the now infamous property to lay a tribute and demand justice.
Virginia’s brother, Sky Roberts, and his wife, Amanda, have helped spearhead the campaign for facts and accountability surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. But so far, little has been discovered about what went on inside Zorro.
Annie Farmer reported her abuse to the FBI in 1996 – her complaint was among the millions of documents released by the Department of Justice earlier this year.
Yet despite the 30 years that have elapsed since that brave teenager came forward to denounce her abuser, the veil of secrecy still hangs over the ranch.
New Mexico has just launched its own bipartisan Truth Commission to establish the scope and nature of the crimes committed by the disgraced financier.
It consists of four State Representatives (two Democrats and two Republicans) and a budget of over $2 million.
Given that it has been at least seven years since Epstein was at the ranch, the expectation is that interviews with those who spent time at the property, especially survivors and workers, will be a more fruitful line of inquiry than a search of the grounds.
The Commission intends to produce a preliminary report in July and a final report by the end of the year.
