The Horrors of Jeffrey Epstein's Private Island

I could see him with my own eyes,” the employee (of the airfield Epstein ferried young girls in and out of his estates) says. “I compared it to seeing a serial killer in broad daylight. I called it the face of evil.”

Locals say Epstein was flying in underage girls long after his conviction for sex crimes—and authorities did nothing to stop him. “It was like he was flaunting it,” says an employee at the airstrip on St. Thomas. “But it was said that he always tipped really well, so everyone overlooked it.”

There is a reason Jeffrey Epstein was able to get away with his hideous crimes for so many decades and why Alex Acosta gave him the sweetheart deal of a lifetime. It's about more than just money.

I can't believe that there is no video of such a prominent area of the airport. And that is a tiny airport. One of the smallest I have ever been to that lands 737s.

And they imply that he was flying girls in from all over the world. Incredible he has gotten away with this much.

"girls from all over the world" would require some fairly complete documentation. Or not?

They claimed to have been disturbed by the comings and goings of Epstein and children, but they weren't disturbed enough to say anything to anyone. I hope those big tips help them sleep at night.
