Content warning: This story may be sensitive for some viewers, as it contains discussion of rape.

In a car with her older sister, her mother and her mother’s husband, Analea O’Leary still remembers a distinct sadness being driven up a gravel driveway toward "the house over the hill," which she now understands to be Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County.

“I was sad because I knew I wasn’t going to be with my sister,” O’Leary told 505OMATIC in an interview. “I would be by myself, and that I wouldn’t see them for the week that I was there.”

When O'Leary was growing up in New Mexico between the ages of four and 11, she remembers being taken to Zorro Ranch where she was raped, abused, and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and other people at the house. She saw other children being abused, some who were teenagers, others who were very young children.

As state lawmakers and law enforcement in New Mexico probe Jeffrey Epstein’s operations in the state, O’Leary has come forward in the hopes that more survivors like her will do the same by contacting the special investigative committee of the state House of Representatives called the Survivors Truth Commission.

When O’Leary was working as a firefighter at the Bonita Springs Fire Department in Florida, she took training on how to identify children who were being abused, and memories of her own abuse came rushing back “like a train.”

“The man that owned the house, with silver hair, I referred to him as my mom’s rich friend,” O’Leary said.

With help from a nonprofit organization Beyond Trafficking, O'Leary spoke with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in August or September 2023 in Abilene, Texas, and with the FBI in Florida in August 2024. She told them she was trafficked in New Mexico, Florida, New York, and Little St. James in the U.S. Virginia Islands.

The details of O’Leary’s account to 505OMATIC match with records the U.S. Department of Justice released in January 2026 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

505OMATIC sent detailed requests for comment to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. We asked if they have prosecuted anyone, or intend to prosecute anyone, based on the information investigators gleaned from interviews with O’Leary. They failed to respond before press time.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Mexico declined to comment.

Under the pen-name Analea Kaleo, in October 2024 she published a memoir called “My Father, Jeffrey Epstein.” She said she hasn’t always felt safe talking about her experiences, but added: “to stay silent is to enable it.”

“I felt that sharing my story was important just because it’s not only something that’s happening within this network of Epstein and his people, but also on a much more nationwide level,” O’Leary said. “There’s a lot more abuse that goes on in homes, and I think that a lot of people mistake trafficking as something that you see in the movies. I wanted to show the side of what it actually looks like inside a home and how that looks very different from what I think a lot of people imagine or believe trafficking to look like.”
