WEATHER.
TY RUSSELL, CBS 4 NEWS .
TONIGHT WE'RE GETTING A
CLOSE LOOK AT THE SECLUDED
ISLAND WHERE THE LATE JEFFREY
EPSTEIN IS ACCUSED OF
TRAFFICKING YOUNG GIRLS.
WE ALSO ARE HEARING A FIRST-
HAND ACCOUNT FROM ONE OF THOSE
VICTIMS.
LITTLE SAINT JAMES WAS OWNED BY
JEFFREY EPSTEIN UNTIL HIS
DEATH.
THE SECLUSION APPEARS TO BEEN
BY DESIGN, TAKING A HARD FOR
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO MONITOR
HIS BEHAVIOR.
ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS EVEN
HARDER FOR THE YOUNG GIRLS TO
ESCAPE.

GETAWAY BUT AUTHORITIES SAY

ISLAND TO HIDE HIS CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY .

PROTECTED OR GET AWAY WITH
THINGS.

REPTILE WHY PURSUE THESE
CHARGES NOW ?
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS, WHY
NOT NOW?
I CANNOT SPEAK FOR WHAT
HAPPENED IN THE PAST AT ALL.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT BECAUSE
OF HIS WEALTH AND POWER, HE WAS
ABLE TO CONCEAL A LOT OF
THINGS.

ISLAND IN 1998 AND A NEARBY

REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER IN THE
VIRGIN ISLANDS IN 2010 AFTER
SERVING TIME IN FLORIDA FOR
PROCURING AN UNDERAGE GIRL FOR
PROSTITUTION.
GEORGE SAYS MONITORING EPSTEIN
ON HIS ISLAND CAME WITH UNIQUE
CHALLENGES FOR AUTHORITIES
CHECKING UP ON HIM .
IT WAS STOPPED AT THE DOCK
AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS
AS FAR AS WE COULD GO BECAUSE
THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND
THEY WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO GO
IN .
COURT DOCUMENTS ALLEGE THAT
HE FLEW INTO THIS AIRPORT, THE
ONLY AIRPORT IN ST. THOMAS IN
THE SAME ONE WE FLEW INTO
EARLIER THIS WEEK.
THE AREA THAT THE PRIVATE
JETS FLY IN ARE SEPARATE AND

TO BREAK AWAY AND RUN DOWN THE
STREET TO THE NEAREST POLICE
