Santa Fe, New Mexico

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has sued Jeffrey Epstein's longtime attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, accusing them of concealing Epstein's sex trafficking operation at his Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. The suit seeks to block the pair from receiving payments from Epstein's estate, valued at more than $100 million, arguing those funds should instead go to survivors. Torrez said the abuse "could [not] be done by just one man" and was facilitated by handlers, lawyers and accountants who have faced no real consequences.

Indyke and Kahn have told Congress they were unaware of the abuse, a claim Torrez disputes. Witnesses at Ghislaine Maxwell's trial alleged abuse occurred at the ranch, which Epstein bought in 1993 and later sold to the family of Texas Comptroller Don Huffines; probate proceedings continue in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A Denver man, Austin Breen, has filed a lawsuit against Denver Police Sgt. Lee Ingersoll, alleging he was "brutally tackled and wrongfully arrested" during an Oct. 18, 2025 "No Kings" protest. The suit targets Ingersoll individually rather than the police department.

According to the complaint, Breen was among roughly 70 peaceful protesters who were stopped by a police line near Santa Fe and 6th Avenue. Officers reportedly told the group to disperse, which they attempted to do, before officers allegedly charged and fired tear gas at the retreating crowd. Breen claims drone footage shows Ingersoll running through the police line and tackling him, causing hand and knee injuries and aggravating a prior ACL injury. He was arrested, jailed for several hours, and released early the next morning. All charges against Breen were dismissed in February 2026. The lawsuit also alleges Ingersoll has a history of wrongful arrests tied to First Amendment activity. Denver police declined to comment, citing pending litigation.
