- Residence in the USVI: Epstein owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands called Little Saint James, which he frequently visited and where some of his alleged criminal activities occurred. He also owned a larger neighboring island, Great Saint James.
- Alleged Crimes: Epstein was first investigated and charged in 2008 in Florida for operating a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. He ultimately pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges in a controversial plea deal that allowed him to serve just 13 months in jail and avoid federal charges. The leniency of this deal sparked outrage.
- Reopened Case in New York: In 2019, new charges were brought against Epstein in New York, alleging sex trafficking and conspiracy. Epstein was arrested in July 2019 and died by apparent suicide in his jail cell a month later while awaiting trial.
- USVI Lawsuits and Investigation: In January 2020, the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands filed a civil lawsuit against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. The suit alleged that Epstein had sexually abused and trafficked dozens of young women and girls on his private islands in the USVI for nearly two decades. This lawsuit aimed to seize Epstein's assets in the USVI to compensate victims.
- Compensation for Victims: The U.S. Virgin Islands established a fund to compensate victims of Epstein's alleged abuse who came forward in the USVI case. This was a separate effort from the compensation fund established in New York for Epstein's victims.
- Ongoing Investigations: While Epstein died before facing a federal trial, investigations into his alleged sex trafficking network and those who may have aided or abetted him continued. Several individuals associated with Epstein faced legal scrutiny.
After years of avoiding the spotlight, the USVI and it's politicians find themselves directly under it when it comes to their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and now calls are beginning to grow louder for a special counsel to be appointed in the USVI to get to the bottom of all of it.
