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

The main property on Little St James is surrounded by several other structures, including servants’ quarters and a huge square-shaped white building at one end of the island which some believe is a music room fitted with acoustic walls.
Epstein abused underage girls on the island with the help of his confidant Ghislaine Maxwell
Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands, was a focal point of Epstein’s horrific child sex trafficking operation.
Little St James’s disturbing past has been widely documented in photographs, victim testimonies and court cases against Epstein and his associates.
Epstein, with the help of his confidant and fixer Ghislaine Maxwell, trafficked many 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 abuse.
Some of the devices were linked to luxury properties in Michigan, Florida and Martha’s Vineyard. Others are said to date back to low-income areas where Epstein’s victims are known to have lived and attended school.
A device reportedly recorded coordinates from a sidewalk in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Near Intelligence obtained the data from advertising exchanges, which are online platforms that make it easy to buy and sell ads on the Internet. The information may include location data that allows analysts to track device movements.

The company has been accused of misuse of data and filed for bankruptcy in December.
Lisa Bloom, who represented 11 of Epstein’s alleged victims, told Wired: “The main concern of most clients who come to me is privacy and security.”
“It is deeply worrying to think that the location of any victim of sexual abuse will be tracked and then stored and then sold to someone, who can presumably do whatever they want with it.”
Little St James was nicknamed “Pedophile Island” by residents of the US Virgin Islands during the flagrant and widespread abuse perpetrated by Epstein after he purchased the island in 1998 for $7.5 million. He bought Great St James, the largest island next to it, in 2016 for $22.5 million to protect her privacy.
Epstein died in August 2019, at age 66, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Photographs previously published by DailyMail.com show young people posing on the island paradise or giving Epstein massages while he makes phone calls.
Epstein hosted parties for the rich and famous at Little St James, with celebrities from Prince Andrew to Stephen Hawking among his guests. Pictured: Jeffrey Epstein receives a massage from his assistant Sarah Kellen on his private island.

In other images, Maxwell is seen being cared for by the legion of staff Epstein recruited to run the island.
Epstein is said to have imported 200 workers after purchasing the island to build a stone mansion, two guest houses, a helipad and a strange structure with a golden dome that resembles a temple.
The temple structure was built between 2009 and 2013, but it is still unclear what the building was for.
