Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling New Mexico Zorro Ranch is now part of the ongoing investigation into sex trafficking charges against him, according to the Associated Press.

The state has been under considerable scrutiny for not requiring Epstein to be listed on its state registry of sexual offenders after he negotiated a guilty plea to sex crimes in Florida a decade ago. “New Mexico continues to lag behind the rest of the country in strengthening outdated and weak laws that fail to protect our children from abuse,” Balderas told the Associated Press. “This is a huge black eye for our state.”
