Nearly 200 people who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘pedo’ island left a trail of mobile device data which links them to homes and offices in the US around the world, a new analysis reveals.
The analysis exposes the movements of visitors to the island from 2016 to Epstein’s final arrest in 2019, years after his conviction in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution.
The location data was pinged from their mobile devices to platforms which facilitate targeted advertising. This information was then compiled by Near Intelligence, a controversial location data broker.
A report by Wired mapped the data from devices which visited Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St James, and traced them back to around 166 locations in the US which are believed to be the homes and business addresses of the device owners.
Some devices were also linked to addresses in Ukraine, the Cayman Islands and Australia, according to the report.

Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands, was a focal point of Epstein’s horrific child-sex-trafficking operation.
The troubling past of Little St James has been widely documented in photographs, victim testimony and court cases against Epstein and his associates.
Epstein – with help from 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 have been traced back 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 the 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 ads on the internet. The information can include location data which allows analysts to track the movements of devices.

The company has been accused of misusing data and in December it filed for bankruptcy.
Lisa Bloom, who represented 11 of Epstein’s alleged victims, told Wired: ‘Most of the clients who come to me, their number one concern is privacy and safety.
‘It’s deeply concerning to think that any sexual abuse victims’ location will be tracked and then stored and then sold to someone, who can presumably do whatever they want with it.’
Little St James was dubbed ‘Pedophile Island’ by residents of the US Virgin Islands during the blatant, wholesale abuse conducted by Epstein after he bought the isle in 1998 for $7.5 million. He bought Great St James, the larger island beside it, in 2016 for $22.5 million to protect his privacy.
Epstein died in August 2019, aged 66, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Photographs previously published by DailyMail.com show young girls posing on the paradise island, or giving massages to Epstein while makes telephone calls.

Maxwell is seen in other pictures being waited on by the legion of staff who Epstein recruited to manage the island.
Epstein is said to have imported 200 workers after his purchase of the island to build a stone mansion, two guest houses, a helipad and a bizarre gold-domed structure that resembles a temple.
The temple structure was built between 2009 and 2013 but it remains unclear what the building was for.

The islands were purchased for $60 million in May 2023 by billionaire Stephen Deckoff, who plans to transform them into a luxury resort.
