By SUSAN GREENE, US SENIOR REPORTER Published: 17:43, 6 August 2026 | Updated: 17:44, 6 August 2026 Dozens of women and girls were abused at Jeffrey Epstein's secluded Zorro Ranch in New Mexico - with the late pedophile using the sprawling desert estate as a playground for his twisted crimes, an investigative commission has claimed. At least 35 females were likely victims of Epstein's depravity at the 7,500 acre property just outside Santa Fe, where the disgraced financier hosted a slew of VIP guests and pals over the years, according to the New Mexico Survivor’s Truth Commission report published on Wednesday. But surprisingly, investigators were unable to dig up evidence of more wildly disturbing allegations that have long plagued the property, including that Epstein was using the ranch as part of a sci-fi scheme to inseminate scores of women and produce his own enhanced bloodline. Findings in the 119-page preliminary report also revealed investigators could not verify sickening allegations that Epstein had been using the compound to drug women so he could harvest their sex organs or that the dead bodies of two foreign girls were actually buried there. Still, the report blasted law enforcement and other state officials for long ignoring any wrongdoing on the ranch, saying a spate of systemic failures had allowed Epstein to go unchecked there for decades. 'Where was everyone?' State Rep. Marianna Anaya asked bluntly during a hearing shortly after the interim report was made public. The commission, created by the state’s House of Representatives back in February, was given subpoena power and a $2 million budget to help sort fact from fiction about activities at the ranch Epstein owned from 1993 until his 2019 apparent suicide in federal custody. The report found no evidence that Epstein’s scheme to produce his own enhanced bloodline ever came to fruition. Before his death, the convicted pedophile had reportedly openly discussed plans to use his ranch as a base to inseminate multiple women and produce his own genetically 'superior' children. Jeffrey Epstein, pictured in a rare snap taken on his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, used the sprawling desert estate as a playground for his twisted crimes for years, according to the New Mexico Survivor’s Truth Commission report At least 35 females were likely victims of Epstein's depravity at the 7,500 acre property just outside Santa Fe, which the disgraced financier bought back in 1993 Investigators were also not able to verify claims that Epstein used the estate to conduct nonconsensual medical procedures. New Mexico state Representative and commission member Andrea Romero told the Daily Mail several months ago that witnesses, both women and men, had come forward saying 'they were drugged, had sex organs and sperm harvested from their bodies, and woke up around medical equipment not knowing where they were or what happened to them.' Epstein, who died in 2019, reportedly discussed plans to use the home as a base to inseminate multiple women and produce his own enhanced bloodline Nor did the report uncover new information on a tip the FBI received in 2019 that the dead bodies of two foreign girls were buried at the ranch — a claim that prompted state officials to order a fruitless search of the property with cadaver-detecting dogs in March. ‘The full scope of his crimes may never be known,’ the report says about Epstein, who spent about 50 days a year on the ranch, usually in the summer. Meanwhile, the report did note that Epstein had used Zorro Ranch as an isolated getaway and playground for VIP guests who were able to come and go more discreetly than they could even to Little St James, his private Caribbean island off St. Thomas. His confirmed guests there, as detailed in flight logs referenced in the report, included Richardson, filmmaker Woody Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn and linguist and social critic Noam Chomsky. Bill Clinton also is believed to have been to the ranch, an allegation he has staunchly denied. The report cites a flight log showing the former president was a passenger on an Epstein-owned plane bound for New Mexico. 'A record of his guests serves as a compendium of the rich, powerful, and influential: presidents, governors, cabinet secretaries, captains of industry and finance, Silicon Valley moguls, actors and celebrities, mavens of fashion and the arts, and academic, scientific, and other thought leaders of the highest caliber,' the report states. New Zealand-born couple Brice and Karen Gordon, who were entrusted with managing Epstein's ranch for years, are among the few employees name-checked in the report. Brice is pictured showing an unnamed guest at the ranch the barrel of the gun Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was one of Epstein's guests at Zorro, according to emails previously released by the Justice Department 'In every detail of his dealings, the records reviewed show Epstein repeatedly cultivating the support of powerful and influential people wherever he was.' Epstein victim Maria Farmer has long said that she and her younger sister Annie visited Zorro Ranch in 1996 under the guise of an art commission. Maria has previously alleged she was sexually assaulted by Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, who in 2021 was found guilty of child sex trafficking and is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. Annie, for her part, has said she was 15 when flown to the property and directed by Epstein and Maxwell 'to take off all her clothes and get on a massage table.' Several other anonymous Jane Does have also alleged sexual abuse at Zorro Ranch over the years. The report outlined previously reported allegations from at least five 'Jane Doe' victims who claim they were abused on the property. One, identified only as Jane Doe 3, was just 15 when she flown to the ranch in 2004 and sexually molested by Epstein for many hours. ‘What I remember most vividly was him explaining to me how beneficial the experience was for me,’ the report quotes her as saying. The sprawling estate in Stanley, New Mexico - known as known as Zorro Ranch - was one of several properties where the pedophile lured and abused girls The secluded property served as a playground for Epstein's trove of VIP guests After being abused by Epstein, that victim recounted riding and crashing an ATV on one of his ranch’s desert mesas and expressing concern she would get in trouble - only for another girl to assure her: ‘Don’t worry, no one gets in trouble for anything here.' New Zealand-born couple Brice and Karen Gordon were entrusted with managing Epstein's ranch for years Another victim, identified in the report as Jane Doe 4, compared the 7,500-acre ranch near Santa Fe to Disneyland, saying she was trafficked there to have sex with the late Bill Richardson, the US ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton who went on to serve as energy secretary and New Mexico’s governor. The commission, it noted, was still working to uncover more details about victims. ‘Too little is known about these individuals at this point to confirm necessary facts - some may be witnesses to abuse, but not survivors of it. Others may be facilitators of Epstein’s abuse, and some may be both survivors and facilitators,' the report states. 'The investigation continues with a focus on positively identifying and questioning these witnesses.' Elsewhere, the report criticized local law enforcement for playing a 'passive role' in investigating Epstein and, instead, just allowing authorities in Miami and New York to pursue criminal cases against him - even as the trove of sickening allegations were piling up. An interior shot of the main house on Zorro Ranch The plans show that Epstein's master bedroom takes up most of the first floor, where there were also two relatively small en-suite bedrooms and a fourth 'staff bedroom' One of the four bedrooms inside the sprawling property After Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting a prostitute in Florida, the report notes he was still allowed to have firearms on his New Mexico ranch - despite being a convicted felon. 'To date, the commission has discovered no evidence showing that New Mexico authorities inspected Epstein’s New Mexico residence for the presence or knowledge of firearms or investigated Epstein for unlawful possession of firearms,' the report reads. 'This is important to the extent that it may show Epstein was afforded favorable treatment. 'Moreover, a timely investigation of Epstein for unlawful possession of firearms may have afforded law enforcement an opportunity to initiate an investigation and collect evidence that may have led to evidence of sex trafficking.' The commission also took federal officials and law enforcement to task for stonewalling their investigation and apparently not interviewing Epstein's staff at the ranch. 'There is no record showing that many of the Zorro Ranch employees were ever interviewed by the FBI or other law enforcement. The commission has identified many important members of Epstein’s extensive Zorro Ranch staff network and a handful of others,' the report states. 'However, the full number is certainly considerably larger and will no doubt grow as review of the EFTA documents and subpoena returns continues. Identification of Zorro Ranch staff is crucial, as employees and contractors may have information or knowledge about activities at the ranch and the conditions and circumstances that facilitated Epstein’s criminal wrongdoing.'

Both have claimed to have been abused by the pedophile when they were teens New Zealand-born couple Brice and Karen Gordon, who were entrusted with managing Epstein's ranch for years, are among the few employees name-checked in the report. Brice, who also managed Epstein's infamous Virgin Islands property, was interviewed by the FBI in February 2007. The commission so far has issued 20 subpoenas, mostly to local, state and federal agencies and to banks as part of its ongoing investigation. Of those, its report said 10 have been met with full compliance, two with partial compliance and eight ‘have been met with refusals to comply or no response at all.’ The preliminary report emerged as the state of New Mexico sued the Department of Justice and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday, saying the federal government had blocked it from carrying out its own investigation into Epstein's sex crimes. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, DC, is seeking judicial intervention to force the federal government to turn over materials to New Mexico's investigators. The Justice Department, however, said it was not releasing some information the state requested because of federal court orders that ban disclosing victim-identifying information. 'New Mexico has provided no lawful basis to justify such sweeping disclosures,' a DOJ statement said, adding that protecting victim privacy remains a top priority. Epstein bought Zorro Ranch way back in 1993 from Bruce King, a former three-time New Mexico governor. The 13 square miles of high desert include a 26,700-square foot luxury hacienda, guest lodges and staff dwellings, several outbuildings, a firehouse, horse stables, a seven-bay heated garage, a greenhouse to grow fresh produce, a cattle grazing operation and private air strip, hangar and helipad. Epstein owned the property until his death in a New York federal prison. His estate later listed it in 2021 for $27.5 million. That price was later dropped to $18 million and the property sold to the family of Don Huffines, a Dallas real estate businessman, former Texas state senator who now serves as Texas’s acting state comptroller and seeking election to that seat in November. The conservative Republican renamed the property San Rafael Ranch ‘after the saint associated with physical and spiritual healing’. He has said he intends to turn the ranch into a Christian retreat, posting that ‘What the enemy once meant for evil, God can redeem for good.’
