"Multiple young men" were allegedly drugged and raped at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch, according to an explosive new report that detailed harrowing accusations from murder to babies snatched from mothers at the pedophile's New Mexico house of horrors. "A man actually claims that he met Jeffrey Epstein [and] was brought to the ranch, he was drugged," US Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) told "60 Minutes Australia" in a Sunday segment, the Sun reported. "He describes in detail a scene in which multiple young men were raped at the ranch in front of him after he was drugged," said Stansbury, a leading advocate for Epstein victims. It's unclear how Stansbury learned the excrutiating details of the alleged abuse, but her claims come as her state is in the thick of an extensive investigation into Zorro Ranch " the first probe of its kind since the millionaire financier killed himself in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell after being arrested on sex-trafficking charges. The probe was sparked in part by anonymous 2019 allegations that Epstein and Maxwell choked women to death during "rough fetish sex" and buried them on the ranch " accusations that resurfaced with the release earlier this year of the tranche of files from the FBI's investigation into the disgraced financier. Zorro Ranch was never fully searched after the federal government ordered New Mexico authorities to "stand down" in 2019 because there was no "probable cause" to search the ranch.
