Epstein's real estate empire home to illicit activities

The Epstein document release started last week

Properties once owned by Jeffrey Epstein have received renewed attention as some have come up in documents related to the deceased financier that were unsealed this week. 

Three tranches of documents, resulting from legal action Virginia Giuffre took against Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, have become available to the public so far. The releases started Wednesday.

Maxwell received jail time in 2022 for her role in what the Department of Justice called a "scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls" with Epstein.

All properties that comprised Epstein’s holdings have since come under new ownership in the wake of his 2019 suicide in jail. At the time of his death, he was facing charges of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.

Victims and prosecutors have said illicit activities took place in his homes.

Here are pieces of real estate Epstein used to own:

Some have described Little St. James as "pedophile island." In addition to that 70-acre island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Epstein also had a second one just north of it, FOX Business previously reported.
