To accompany the report, the House oversight committee has published new images and video of Jeffrey Epstein’s private islands in the US Virgin Islands. These new disclosures shed light on the alleged criminal enterprises that operated out of those spaces. Epstein owned two Caribbean islands. Locals infamously dubbed Little St James “pedophile island” amid the growing accusations of the financier’s underage sexual escapades.
In 2022, the attorney general of the US Virgin Islands reached a significant settlement with Epstein’s estate for over $100 million. This lawsuit alleges that Epstein was engaged in sex trafficking. Most importantly, it provides a glimpse into the depth of his crimes and their horrifying effect on countless victims. Epstein took his own life in prison in 2019, where he was awaiting a sex trafficking and conspiracy related trial.
The new images and footage are from 2020. Through their public release we hope to further encourage transparency of the Circuit Court and help support the ongoing pursuit into Epstein’s string of abuse. The photos of each location on Little St James, labeled with their coordinates, focus on Epstein’s house. Inside, there are converted bedrooms, a giant dental chair, and a chalkboard scrawled with the words “fin,” “intellectual,” “deception,” and “power.”
That last photograph is of special concern, because it shows a telephone with many names redacted, possibly indicating influential connections that deserve greater examination. The disconcerting quality of these photographs only serves to highlight the seriousness of the charges against Epstein and his estate.
As House oversight committee ranking member Robert Garcia said about these findings, “
“These new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island. We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein’s horrific crimes. We won’t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors.”
The US Virgin Islands attorney general’s office continues its investigation into Epstein’s crimes, seeking to hold accountable those involved in his alleged trafficking network. Unlike a few months ago, there’s data piling up almost daily. We see that Epstein’s machinations have ripple effects that go beyond dollars and cents, damaging communities and ruining millions of lives.
