Brothers of Virginia Giuffre rally at Zorro Ranch, demand unredacted DOJ files

Sky Roberts, 37, and his older brother Daniel Wilson, 47, traveled to Zorro Ranch on Sunday and joined hundreds of protesters at the gate to demand that the U.S. Department of Justice release unredacted records they say contain the names of men who visited the property. The rally, staged to coincide with International Women’s Day, focused on transparency and legal remedies for survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking.

“All those names are in the files and right now the government is covering those up,” Roberts told reporters at the roadside gathering near the San Rafael property formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein. Roberts attended with his wife, Amanda Roberts, and family members; Reuters reported the brothers were flanked by relatives as they addressed the crowd. A Reuters drone photo showed the hacienda-style mansion on the 30-mile stretch south of Santa Fe as protesters held signs and surrounded a newly installed memorial.

Organizers said the demonstrators came from across the region, describing the turnout as hundreds of people that included survivors, families and advocates who want full public disclosure of documents released in past years that they say remain heavily redacted. Reuters and other outlets have reported that millions of Epstein-related records have been made public in recent months, revealing social and professional ties among politicians, business people and scientists who visited Epstein properties; the family and supporters say portions of those records still conceal names that would identify alleged abusers.

The rally also doubled as a legislative push. Supporters highlighted “Virginia’s Law,” a proposal backed by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a Democrat from New Mexico, aimed at eliminating a 10-year statute of limitations for adult survivors who wish to bring civil suits. “Virginia’s law is key to allow survivors of all sexual abuse and trafficking to be able to sue their perpetrators, because justice should not have a deadline. It should not expire,” Leger Fernández said in remarks cited by local coverage.

Local reporting noted a recent dispute over memorials. KOB said a memorial placed on Feb. 28 had been removed and supporters set up a new display on Sunday; attendees described the visit as the family’s first to the ranch and spoke of grief and purpose. “It means the world to us to come out and see everybody here and to see the support that she had. Her survivor sisters have so bravely stepped up and fought on her behalf. She was trailblazing she paved the way,” Roberts said, according to KVIA. “I can feel her she’s here. She’s with us. She’s been with us every step of the way,” he added in local remarks.

Reports differ on the date of Virginia Giuffre’s death: Reuters said she “took her own life in April” without specifying a year; The Straits Times and a public biographical entry list April 25, 2025; KVIA reported 2024. Coverage and organizers have emphasized that the rally’s central demand is documentary transparency rather than reopening disputed timelines.

The protest underscores broader policy questions about how governments handle sensitive records in cases involving sexual exploitation and powerful figures, and how civil law can adapt to long-recognized barriers survivors face in seeking redress. Advocates at the ranch argued that releasing unredacted files would allow victims to name alleged abusers and pursue accountability in court, while proponents of legislative change say statutory limits currently deny many survivors access to civil remedies. The demonstration left a clear message to federal authorities: families and activists intend to keep pushing for disclosure and legal reforms that they say are essential to justice and public accountability.
