Fresh allegations of severe abuse at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico have surfaced, including claims that multiple young men were drugged and assaulted at the remote property. The details were broadcast Sunday during a segment on 60 Minutes Australia, bringing renewed scrutiny to the disgraced financier’s sprawling desert estate.
US Representative Melanie Stansbury, a vocal advocate for Epstein’s victims, told the program that a male victim recently came forward with a disturbing account. According to Stansbury, the man stated he was brought to the ranch, drugged, and forced to witness the assault of other young men. Stansbury described Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell as serial abusers who operated as predators throughout their lives.
The claims coincide with a renewed, extensive investigation into Zorro Ranch. This marks the first major probe into the New Mexico property since Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Authorities are reportedly examining previous anonymous tips suggesting that women were killed and buried on the ranch. Stansbury noted that these tips align with established patterns of human trafficking associated with Epstein’s network.
Chauntae Davies, who survived abuse by Epstein, also provided a harrowing account of her time at the ranch. She told the program she felt trapped while staying at the isolated property, waiting for summons that resulted in forced sexual assaults. Davies also shared disturbing second hand accounts of unauthorized medical procedures and claims that Maxwell took a baby born on the premises. These accounts parallel long standing rumors that Epstein intended to use the facility to breed what he considered a master race.
Despite the severity of the allegations, a comprehensive search of Zorro Ranch was never conducted following Epstein’s 2019 arrest. Federal authorities reportedly instructed local law enforcement to stand down at the time, citing a lack of probable cause. While lawmakers are now pushing for full accountability, survivors like Davies remain sceptical that the true extent of the crimes committed at the property will ever be fully uncovered.
