To reach Little St. James island, Epstein arranged exclusive transport for his guests. His private jet, known as the “Lolita Express,” would land at a nearby airport, from where guests were flown to the island by helicopter.

This island was allegedly used for the sexual exploitation of underage girls. Powerful figures, including politicians, actors, and businessmen, are accused of being involved in these crimes.

According to Britannica, Jeffrey Epstein (born January 20, 1953, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.—died August 10, 2019, Manhattan) was an American financier and convicted sex offender who was accused of serial sex trafficking of women and girls. Through his successful financial career, Epstein became a multimillionaire and developed a social circle that included extremely wealthy individuals, prominent politicians, and even royalty. While jailed and awaiting a federal sex-trafficking trial, Epstein killed himself by hanging.

Epstein’s case continued to resonate in the media, prompting lawsuits from his victims and investigations into others involved in his alleged trafficking activities.

The release of thousands of previously sealed documents in early 2024 further fueled discussions about his extensive network and the implications of his actions.

His former associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was also implicated and later convicted of related charges, highlighting the ongoing impact of Epstein’s legacy in discussions of sexual abuse and accountability.

His Island, Little St. James was sold in May 2023 to billionaire Stephen Deckoff for $60 million. He plans to develop it into a luxury resort.
