Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes have left deep scars across the country, yet the unanswered questions remain especially pressing in New Mexico. Mr. Epstein’s property, Zorro Ranch, located outside of Santa Fe has become a symbol not only of unchecked abuse, but also of how wealth and secrecy can overpower oversight.
For survivors, the pain is compounded by a lack of answers. How did this happen here, and why was nothing done to stop it? What steps, if any, could have been taken to prevent sexual abuse at Zorro Ranch? Until New Mexico fully confronts its role in the Epstein saga, survivors are left without closure, and conspiracy theories will continue to thrive in the absence of transparency.
In a major win for survivors, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 250 (AB 250) into law on October 13, 2025, creating a new look-back window that reopens the doors of justice for many adult survivors of sexual assault in California.
This law allows survivors who were previously barred from filing civil lawsuits due to expired statutes of limitations to bring claims through December 31, 2027, against individuals and private entities. AB 250 represents a powerful tool for accountability and healing, especially for survivors whose voices have long been silenced by procedural time limits.
In February 2025, Assemblywoman Maggy Krell introduced a significant piece of legislation aimed at combating sex trafficking in California. The Survivor Support and Demand Reduction Act (AB379) represents a comprehensive approach to addressing the sex trafficking crisis by focusing on victim support and reducing the demand for trafficking.
