New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez is calling on survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to come forward and help with the state's criminal investigation into Epstein's former New Mexico ranch.
Torrez shared an open letter Tuesday urging survivors to contact the New Mexico Department of Justice directly, saying their input is "essential" to the investigation into allegations of illegal activity at Epstein's Zorro Ranch before his death in 2019.
"For far too long, you were ignored," Torrez said. "Your abuse was systematically disregarded as investigations into Epstein's crimes were deliberately stalled, abandoned, or compromised by the power Epstein wielded. In New Mexico, we are determined to do better by survivors. I am committed to ensuring that Epstein's heinous crimes are thoroughly investigated. We will follow the facts wherever they lead without fear or favor."
"Your input is essential to conducting this investigation with the rigor, respect, and compassion it deserves," Torrez said. "That's why I want to hear directly from you."
