## Resource

Two women alleging abuse at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch have reached out to Solace Sexual Assault Services in Northern New Mexico, reigniting hopes for justice after years of silence and stalled investigations. Rachel Benavidez, a New Mexico native, testified before lawmakers about Epstein’s two-year assault campaign starting when she was 25, highlighting how survivors have been met with blame rather than support. Though many accusers were brought from out of state, New Mexico reopened its probe this year — alongside a legislative truth commission expected to release its findings by year’s end. In 2019, around 45 people contacted Solace after Epstein’s arrest, half alleging abuse at the ranch, but then-state investigations were halted without justice. Now, survivors are cautiously watching current probes, wondering why they’d endure the trauma again if no real change comes. The commission is directing them to the Justice Department to assess potential prosecutions — and they’re waiting for answers that could finally break the cycle of silence.
