Eerie Images Reveal the Interior of Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Island
Newly released photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein’s private island home offer what House Democrats call a “disturbing look” into the life and inner world of the disgraced financier. The House Oversight Committee obtained the materials after issuing a subpoena to the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Justice.
A Glimpse Inside Little St. James
The footage and images show never-before-seen details of Epstein’s 90-acre island mansion, Little St. James. Viewers get an eerie view of bedrooms, spa rooms, offices, and a swimming pool hidden behind manicured hedges.
Some rooms contained unsettling features. One photo shows a dentist’s chair in a sterile room with theatrical masks of older men hanging on the walls. Another captures a chalkboard scrawled with cryptic words like “power,” “deception,” “truth,” and “time,” connected in what appears to be a coded map.
A video walkthrough reveals neatly made four-poster beds, stocked toiletries, and villas with blue roofs. Other shots show a landline phone with speed-dial labels like “NY Office” and “Darren Cell” alongside a “No Trespassing” sign.
“These images give the public a disturbing look into Epstein’s world,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, top Democrat on the Oversight Committee. “We release them to ensure transparency and help piece together the full picture of his crimes.”

How Epstein Used the Islands
Little St. James and its larger sister, Great St. James, were privately owned by Epstein for over 25 years. Both islands lie southwest of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Former Attorney General Denise George said Epstein used them to hide criminal activity. Airport staff reported seeing girls who appeared to be preteens arriving by plane.
“Remember, he owns a whole island,” George said. “No child could just run to the nearest police station.” One alleged victim described being held captive with a firearm strapped to Epstein’s bedpost. The only way to leave was by helicopter or boat.
Public and Legal Reactions
The photo release comes amid mounting pressure on the federal government to declassify Epstein files. President Donald Trump signed a law on November 19 giving the Justice Department 30 days to release remaining materials in a searchable, downloadable format. The deadline expires December 19.
Trump initially dismissed calls for disclosure as a “Democrat-led hoax” but later said, “We have nothing to hide,” urging Republicans to support the release. The law allows delays if the files could affect ongoing investigations or violate victims’ privacy.
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former associate, plans to file a habeas petition from prison. Her lawyer argues releasing grand jury materials could prejudice her potential retrial.
Next Steps
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has requested a briefing from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi by December 5 to discuss the newly obtained materials. For now, the images provide a rare look behind the heavily guarded gates of Epstein’s Caribbean lair and the bizarre spaces where victims allege abuse occurred.
“These rooms are a chilling reminder of the crimes committed,” Rep. Garcia said. “We will continue pressing for transparency until justice is delivered.”
