Two brothers of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most high-profile accusers visited the sex offender’s former ranch in New Mexico for the first time on Sunday, to demand that the Trump administration make public unredacted documents revealing the identities of the men their late sister claimed sexually abused her on the property.
With Epstein’s hacienda-style mansion in the background, the brothers of Virginia Giuffre, who took her own life in April, joined hundreds of protesters at a roadside rally to mark International Women’s Day, near the gate of the ranch located 30 miles (48 km) south of the state capital, Santa Fe.
Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, 37, urged the US Justice Department to release documents showing, among other things, the names of visitors to Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, where he and his acquaintances are accused of sexually abusing women and girls.
“All those names are in the files and right now the government is covering them up,” Roberts said, flanked by Giuffre’s older brother, Daniel Wilson, 47, and their families.
The publication of millions of records on Epstein exposed the financier’s social ties to politicians, businessmen and scientists he invited to the ranch.
The files have become a persistent political problem for US President Donald Trump, cited in FBI reports released on Thursday, in which an unidentified woman made allegations against him relating to an alleged sexual encounter.
In February, New Mexico became the first US state to establish a legislative “truth commission” into how Epstein managed to operate in secret at Zorro Ranch for 26 years.
“New Mexico is leading by example, and we expect other states to follow the same path,” said Amanda Roberts, 37, wife of Sky Roberts, citing New York and Florida, where Epstein owned residences and where similar investigations should be launched.
Americans generally view the Epstein case as an example of how rich and powerful people are rarely held accountable for their actions, and believe the U.S. government is still withholding information about Epstein’s clients, according to Reuters/Ipsos polls.
