Jeffrey Epstein dubbed it Little St. Jeff’s. Locals have other names: Pedophile Island and Orgy Island

Jeffrey Epstein referred to Little St. James, his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, as Little St. Jeff's. Locals have other names for it: Pedophile Island and Orgy Island.

It’s quiet now on the island of Little St. James. Epstein dubbed it Little St. Jeff’s. Locals have other names for it: Pedophile Island and Orgy Island.now charged in New York with trafficking girls as young as 14Over the years, the 66-year-old crossed paths with former and future presidents, as well as a who’s who of wealthy business figures and celebrities. On St. Thomas, he has been a subject of lurid speculation for as long as anyone can remember.

The properties Epstein owns certainly suggest he knew his way around the world of big money. He has a second private island, Great St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, plus mansions in Palm Beach, Fla., and Manhattan, an apartment in Paris and a ranch in New Mexico that, according to an October 2009 deposition in a civil lawsuit, has its own 4,500-foot airstrip.

Among them are companies that hold his Gulfstream jets, Financial Trust Co. and Southern Trust Co., whose business is described as “DNA database and data mining” on a government website that lists Cecile deJongh as the office manager. DeJongh, the wife of a former governor of the territory, couldn’t be reached for comment.

Epstein’s move to the U.S. territory could have been for the privacy, or for the juicy tax benefits. Qualifying companies are eligible for a 90% reduction in corporate income tax and personal income tax if they meet certain conditions, including employing at least 10 residents and investing $100,000 in local industries. Southern Trust is listed at the Economic Development Authority as one of the beneficiaries of local tax incentives.

The crew of groundskeepers and other workers sported black or white polo shirts when the master was in residence — and darted away when they spied him. The former employee said they had to obey one ironclad rule: Epstein should never catch sight of them.
