Below the statue was a plaque that gave a brief background on Epstein and also read in part: He had a home in New Mexico, Zorro Ranch. He was also a rapist who died in prison. It then went on to list several court cases involving Epstein and his victims.

Some people who saw the statue early Wednesday said there appeared to be an “armed militia” person guarding the statue.
