Epstein survivor says it's not too late to expose what happened at his New Mexico ranch

Key Points:

• Virginia Giuffre Benavidez, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse at his New Mexico ranch, emphasizes the need for survivors to be heard and believed to achieve justice, following the release of millions of Justice Department documents in January.
• New investigations have been launched in New Mexico, including a criminal case by the state Department of Justice and a legislative "truth commission," prompted by allegations and newly disclosed claims related to Epstein’s activities at the ranch.
• New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has committed to thoroughly investigating Epstein’s crimes in the state, promising to prioritize victims' voices and pursue all leads, while seeking unredacted documents from the Justice Department.
• Epstein’s abuse at the New Mexico ranch dates back to the 1990s, but earlier investigations were hindered by lack of coordination with federal prosecutors, leading to missed opportunities for justice before Epstein’s death in 2019.
• Benavidez, who was abused by Epstein during her time working as a massage therapist at the ranch, has found support among other survivors and continues to advocate for accountability of others involved in enabling Epstein’s crimes.
