STANLEY, N.M., March 8 - For the first time, two brothers of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers visited the former owner’s New Mexico estate to demand greater transparency from federal authorities.
Sky Roberts, 37, and Daniel Wilson, 47, joined hundreds of protesters near the entrance of Zorro Ranch, roughly 30 miles south of Santa Fe, standing with family members near the hacienda-style house that sits on the property. The gathering, timed with International Women’s Day, was intended to press the U.S. Department of Justice to release unredacted documents that the brothers say contain the names of men their late sister, Virginia Giuffre, alleged sexually abused her at the ranch.
"All those names are in the files and right now the government is covering those up," Sky Roberts said at the roadside event, flanked by his older brother and their families. The brothers have sought public disclosure of records they contend would reveal the identities of visitors to Zorro Ranch who are accused of participating in abuse there.
Millions of pages of records related to Epstein have been disclosed in recent months, producing a trove of material that traces the financier’s social circles and the people he invited to his properties. Those files have intensified scrutiny of Epstein’s connections with politicians, business leaders and scientists who visited the ranch.
In a related development, FBI records released last Thursday included a reference naming U.S. President Donald Trump in the context of an accusation made by an unidentified woman about an alleged sexual encounter. The appearance of the president’s name in those documents has added to the political sensitivity of the disclosures.
New Mexico has taken a legislative step in response to questions about how Epstein operated for decades at Zorro Ranch. In February, the state established what officials described as a "truth commission" to investigate how Epstein maintained secrecy at the property for 26 years. Amanda Roberts, 37, Sky Roberts’ wife, said New Mexico is "setting the example" and suggested other states where Epstein maintained residences, including New York and Florida, also require similar inquiries.
Public sentiment appears to be shaped by doubts about accountability for wealthy and powerful individuals. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Americans generally view the Epstein case as an example of those rarely being held to account, and that many believe the U.S. government is withholding information about Epstein’s associates.
The brothers’ visit to Zorro Ranch and the roadside rally underscore continuing demands for clarity about the full set of records tied to Epstein’s activities and visitors. They also reflect a broader push for official investigations into how the ranch functioned as a site of alleged abuse and why it remained largely out of public view for so long.
Context and next steps
The brothers are publicly urging the Department of Justice to produce unredacted files that they say would contain the names of men who visited Zorro Ranch. The New Mexico truth commission represents a legislative avenue to examine the circumstances that allowed Epstein to operate at the property for an extended period. How federal authorities respond to calls for further disclosure will determine whether additional names and details emerge from the existing trove of documents.
