US Virgin Islands: The latest reports from “Little St Jeff’s”, the notorious Caribbean hideaway of Jeffrey Epstein, are startling.

One recent visitor was allegedly hog-tied naked. Would-be interlopers on jet-skis have been chased away. Another, apparently, was bound with duct tape and assaulted in the presence of police officers.

Epstein has been dead for almost seven years, but this strange new drama is now playing out on what was once his private island – Little St James in the US Virgin Islands. The new owner, distressed-debt billionaire and Black Diamond founder Stephen Deckoff, has been besieged by curiosity-seekers and voyeurs.

Some of the visitors believe Epstein is still alive. Others are on a mission to fight “monsters”. They’re arriving on jet-skis, they’re deploying drones to shoot footage and they’re risking arrest. Deckoff’s staff, in response, have occasionally taken matters into their own hands, according to police reports.
