A man who infiltrated Jeffrey Epstein’s deserted island claims he was followed by “blacked-out cars.”
He also saw a group of mysterious people on the island.
Little Saint James, a private Caribbean island located in the United States Virgin Islands, was owned by the convicted sex offender from 1998 until his death in 2019.
The 75-acre island later earned the nicknames Epstein Island or the more sinister “Pedophile Island” following allegations that Epstein abused and assaulted underage girls at the Caribbean estate. Guests reportedly traveled to the island on Epstein’s private plane, also known as the “Lolita Express.”

The island has been uninhabited since the death of the disgraced financier in prison. Accessible only by plane or boat, Little Saint James features two guest houses, a swimming pool, a temple, a helipad, a sundial and panoramic views of the pristine waters.
Billionaire Steven Deckoff allegedly bought the island two years ago with plans to turn it into a luxury resort. But it is believed to be largely unchanged since Epstein’s ownership.
YouTuber Nico Grigg traveled to the Virgin Islands with the aim of infiltrating the island, despite claiming that the island was under 24-hour security surveillance. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach Little Saint James, Nico and his friends chose to try reaching the island by jet ski.
Their initial efforts were thwarted by security personnel, and the team claimed they were discovered by “people riding in golf carts.” They also reported observing construction crews on the property.
During a later effort, they successfully reached the shoreline of Little Saint James, but were forced to retreat after one of the members was injured by a sea urchin. “My fucking hands are bleeding,” Nico said to the camera.
During the days of filming the expedition, Nico claimed that “suspicious vehicles” were found near his home. He informed his listeners that he had contacted law enforcement regarding the 4by4s.
He said: “It’s been five days since I posted the video of me sneaking onto Jeffrey Epstein’s island, and every day blacked-out SUVs pull up outside my house. I don’t know who these people are or what they want.”
He showed photos of the vehicles and described the situation as “very strange.” Epstein Island was planned to host tourists as a destination last year.

However, in August, the US Virgin Islands confirmed that no development proposals had been submitted for Little Saint James or its neighbor Great Saint James, according to The Telegraph. A press release issued at the time of purchasing the island revealed that SD Investments plans to develop it into a 25-room resort.
“Mr. Deckoff plans to develop a state-of-the-art, five-star, premier 25-room luxury resort that will help support tourism, create jobs and stimulate economic development in the region, while respecting and protecting the islands’ important environment,” the statement reads.
Last week, the US Department of Justice made public millions of files linked to Epstein. On Friday, 3 million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were released to the public.
This statement came six weeks after the US President. Donald Trump He ordered that all documents related to Epstein be made available. The materials included the identities of well-known figures such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sir Richard Branson. However, its inclusion in the files does not mean any abuse.
