Fact check: What is the name of Jeffrey Epstein's island in the US Virgin Islands?

Checked on September 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The name of Jeffrey Epstein's island in the US Virgin Islands is Little St. James, also referred to as Little Saint James [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. This is confirmed by multiple sources, including news articles and geographical information [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Some sources also refer to the island as 'Epstein Island' or 'LSJ', which is believed to stand for Little St. James [3] [4]. The island has been the subject of various reports and investigations, including its sale and planned development into a resort [2].

  • Key points about the island include:
  • Its location in the US Virgin Islands [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
  • Its alternative names, such as Little Saint James and Epstein Island [3] [4]
  • Its planned development into a resort [2]
  • The various investigations and reports related to the island [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources do not explicitly mention the name of Jeffrey Epstein's island in the US Virgin Islands [6] [7] [8]. However, these sources still provide relevant information about Epstein's case and the island, such as the fact that he had a 'Caribbean island' [8]. It is also worth noting that the sources that do mention the name of the island provide additional context and details about its history, geography, and significance in the Epstein case [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

  • The fact that some sources do not mention the island's name [6] [7] [8]
  • The mention of Epstein having a 'Caribbean island' [8]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement asks for the name of Jeffrey Epstein's island in the US Virgin Islands, which is a straightforward question [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. However, the fact that some sources do not explicitly mention the name of the island could potentially lead to confusion or misinformation [6] [7] [8]. It is also possible that the focus on the island's name could distract from other important aspects of the Epstein case, such as the allegations of sex trafficking and abuse [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

  • The potential for confusion or misinformation due to sources not mentioning the island's name [6] [7] [8]
