Jeffrey Epstein utilized his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James, purchased in the late 1990s for nearly $8 million, as a central hub for a vast network of human trafficking and sexual abuse involving dozens of young women and minors, many between the ages of 12 and 17. The island, nicknamed "Orgy Island" or "Pedophile Island," operated without police presence, where victims were allegedly recruited internationally and flown in via Epstein's jet, the "Lolita Express," under the guise of modeling opportunities. Emails revealed Epstein's direct involvement in selecting candidates, with some victims attempting escape. Employees were reportedly terrified and bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Over 200 individuals, including Prince Andrew, are reported to have visited the island, with names like Bill Clinton and Elon Musk also surfacing in connection with Epstein's activities. Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019, and his islands were later sold for approximately $60 million.
