Nearly 200 people visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘pedo island’ AFTER his sex crime conviction are exposed by mobile data linking them to homes and offices across the US – including one ping on street opposite Trump Tower
Nearly 200 people who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘pedo’ island left behind a trail of mobile device data that connects them to US homes and offices around the world, a new analysis has found.
The analysis uncovers the movements of visitors to the island from 2016 until Epstein’s final arrest in 2019, years after his arrest. conviction in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution.
The location data was pinged from their mobile devices to platforms that enable targeted advertising. This information was then collected by Near Intelligence, a controversial location data broker.
A report from Wired mapped the data from devices that visited Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St James, and traced them back to approximately 166 locations in the US, believed to be the homes and business addresses of the device owners.
According to the report, some devices were also linked to addresses in Ukraine, the Cayman Islands and Australia.

The main house on Little St James is surrounded by several other buildings, including the maids’ quarters and a huge, square white building on one side of the island that some say is a music room, fitted with acoustic walls.

Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands, was a focal point of Epstein’s gruesome child sex trafficking operation.
Little St James’s disturbing past has been extensively documented in photographs, victim testimonies and lawsuits against Epstein and his associates.
Epstein – with the help of his confidante and fixer Ghislaine Maxwell – trafficked many young girls to the island, where they were raped and abused.
The data analyzed by Wired is believed to include both visitors to the island and victims of the abuse.
Some of the devices were linked to luxury properties in Michigan, Florida and Martha’s Vineyard. Others are said to be traced to low-income areas where Epstein’s victims are known to have lived and attended school.
One device reportedly pinged coordinates from a sidewalk across the street from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Near Intelligence obtained the data from advertising exchanges, which are online platforms that facilitate the buying and selling of advertisements on the Internet. The information may include location data that allows analysts to track device movements.

The company was accused of data misuse and filed for bankruptcy in December.
Lisa Bloom, who represented 11 of Epstein’s alleged victims, told Wired: “Most clients who come to me, their biggest concern is privacy and security.
“It is deeply concerning to think that the location of victims of sexual abuse is being tracked and then stored and then sold to someone who can presumably do with it whatever they want.”
Little St James was dubbed ‘Pedophile Island’ by residents of the US Virgin Islands during Epstein’s blatant, massive abuse after he bought the island for $7.5 million in 1998. He bought Great St James, the larger island next door, for $22.5 million in 2016 to protect his privacy.
Epstein died in August 2019 at the age of 66 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Epstein is said to have imported 200 workers after purchasing the island to build a stone mansion, two guest houses, a helipad and a bizarre gold-domed structure that resembles a temple.
The temple building was built between 2009 and 2013, but it remains unclear what purpose the building served.
