where was epstein island

Jeffrey Epstein's island, commonly known as "Epstein Island," is Little Saint James, a small private island in the United States Virgin Islands. It is located southeast of Saint Thomas and covers about 70 to 78 acres. Epstein owned the island from 1998 until his death in 2019, and it became notorious as a base for his criminal activities, including underage sex trafficking. The island is situated approximately two miles off the coast of St. Thomas in the Caribbean and had multiple villas, a helipad, and other facilities. It has been nicknamed "Pedophile Island" because of Epstein's crimes linked to that location.
