Little Saint James is a private island in the Caribbean Sea. It is southeast of the neighbouring private island Great Saint James and is a part of the East End, Saint Thomas sub-district in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI).
The island, along with Great Saint James, are best known for being owned by sex offender Jeffery Epstein. The island is also known by the nicknames "Epstein Island" and "Pedophile Island". It was said in court documents that Epstein would fly young girls to the island and would have them perform sex acts on friends and himself there. After his death, police visited his island estate.
