Little is known, but much has been said and written about exactly what which took place on the infamous island of Little St. James in the Caribbean Sea.
The tropical private island was bought by the abusive billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in 1998, and is located in the US Virgin Islands – a favorite tax haven.
Here, Epstein, who took his own life in a remand prison in New York in 2019, spent a lot of time. Here he received many famous guests. And here is Epstein, according to one lawsuits filed after his death, have committed a number of abuses against girls as young as eleven years old.

FBI action against the island
When Epstein was imprisoned in New York, he was accused of committing and arranging abuse of underage girls in the states of New York and Florida.
When the FBI took action against the island in 2019, it was to investigate whether his private island had also been used as a crime scene.
After the FBI’s action, the American Andy Bracco sat and waited. For more information about the island. In pictures from the island, not just photos of the island.
Bracco waited in vain.
– I wanted to know and see what the island was like. I waited and waited, but there were never any pictures from the island, and no one but the authorities visited it. Then I began to wonder: “Why does no one go and visit the island?”, Says Bracco, who conducts urban exploration, to Dagbladet.
– That was when I decided to do it myself, he adds.

Without a doubt: Illegal
And that is why Dagbladet contacts him.
The American video blogger is one of the few people who are neither affiliated with the US government nor Epstein’s circle, who have visited the island.
Or: “visited” is not entirely correct, because it means that Bracco was invited.
He was not.
Bracco makes no secret of the fact that what he did on two occasions in August 2020 was illegal.
– Exactly that was worrying. Technically, the US Virgin Islands is not part of the US, but a US territory, and there are slightly different laws and regulations there, including what to do with intruders, says Bracco about the anguish he had before sneaking on the island.

– Completely surreal
The locals in the area had warned him in advance about guards on the island. A couple of weeks before, he therefore studied the island by staring at satellite images. A few days before he snuck onto the island, he studied it from a boat.
– Then we found a good point on the island where we could add, says Bracco.
He and his friends decided to sneak onto the island before dawn on an August day in 2020. At that time, the chance of being caught was least, Bracco assumed.
– It was sick. It was completely surreal to walk on the island while we knew all the stories. It was horrible, but it did not sink in completely after a while, says the video blogger.
– What was your first impression?
– That it was much bigger than I had imagined. I knew the dimensions, but climbing the cliff on the island… I did not think it would be so high. At the highest point on the island we looked down towards the landing pad of the helicopter, and it was so far away. It would have taken us five minutes to reach the coastline.
