Paradise Lost: Jeffrey Epstein’s Legacy Still Clouds the U.S. Virgin Islands
- In the late 1990s, Jeffrey Epstein acquired an island known as Little Saint James, located southeast of St. Thomas, where he is alleged to have sexually abused girls, some as young as eleven.
- Customs agents observed Epstein leaving his plane with girls aged 11 to 17, but no official checks on their safety occurred while Virgin Islands officials appeared to shield Epstein from scrutiny.
- Albert Bryan Jr., who formerly managed the agency responsible for awarding Epstein’s company close to $300 million in questionable tax credits, won the 2018 gubernatorial race with backing from Epstein and his associates.
- In late April 2025, Bryan revealed plans to distribute $22 million in back pay to public employees, a decision funded by proceeds from the Epstein settlement that has drawn criticism due to insufficient transparency regarding the use of these funds.
- Despite multiple lawsuits and senior officials charged with defrauding housing funds, significant Epstein-related secrecy remains, prompting calls for releasing unredacted files and deeper investigations into USVI leaders’ conduct.
