Little Saint James is a private island located nearly two miles from St. Thomas, with no other residents, and can only be visited by private boat or helicopter EFTA00104216. According to public court documents, it was acquired by Jeffrey Epstein via a warranty deed dated April 27, 1998 EFTA00104216, and was used as a location for trafficking and sexually abusing young women and female children EFTA00104216. The island is described as a “perfect hideaway and haven” for these illegal activities due to its secluded nature and lack of public access EFTA00104216. Epstein’s company, Nautilus, Inc., holds title to the island, which is valued at $63.9 million EFTA00104216. The island’s remote location and Epstein’s control over it allowed him to avoid detection by law enforcement and prevent his victims from escaping EFTA00104216.
