Brothers of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre visit New Mexico ranch, demand unredacted documents

STANLEY, N.M., March 8 (Reuters) – Two brothers of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s leading accusers visited the sex offender’s former New Mexico ranch for the first time on Sunday to demand that the Trump administration release unredacted documents to reveal the identities of the men their late sister alleges sexually assaulted her at the property.

With Epstein’s hacienda-style mansion in the background, the siblings of Virginia Giuffre, who committed suicide in April, joined hundreds of protesters at a roadside rally to mark International Women’s Day near the gates of the farm, located 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of the state capital, Santa Fe.

Giuffre’s sister ⁠Sky Roberts, 37, called on the U.S. Department of Justice to release documents showing, among other things, the names of those who visited Epstein’s ⁠Zorro Ranch, where he and his acquaintances are accused of sexually abusing women and girls.

Roberts, who was with Giuffre’s older brother Daniel Wilson (47) and their families, said, “All these names are in the files and right now the government is hiding them.”

The release of millions of records related to Epstein revealed the financier’s social connections with the politicians, businessmen and scientists he invited to the farm.

The files have become a persistent political issue for US President Donald Trump, who was named in FBI records released on Thursday in which an unidentified woman made accusations against him alleging a sexual encounter.

In February, New Mexico became the first US state to establish a legal “truth commission” into how Epstein was able to operate in secrecy at Zorro Ranch for 26 years.

Sky Roberts’ wife, 37-year-old Amanda Roberts, said, “New Mexico is setting an example and we expect other states to follow,” referring to New York and Florida, where Epstein has residences where similar investigations need to be conducted.

Americans generally view the Epstein case as an example of how the rich and powerful are rarely held accountable and believe the U.S. government is still withholding information about Epstein’s clients, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
