One of the territory’s wealthiest and most well-connected residents, billionaire Jeffrey E. Epstein, will be registering as a sex offender when he returns to the U.S. Virgin Island he calls “Little St. Jeff’s.”
The New York money-manager left Little St. James, the official name of his private island south east of St. Thomas, at the end of June for West Palm Beach, Florida, where he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from underage girls on July 1.
Epstein, a self-described investment banker who counts among his friends former President Bill Clinton, is reportedly building a 50,000 square foot house on the 78-acre island south west of St. John across Pillsbury Sound, according to one government official who asked not to be named.
