A new report reveals that about 200 people visited Jeffrey Epstein's island "Little St. James" from around the world, and left a trail of their mobile device data in the United States.

The report detailed the movements of visitors to the island from 2016 to Epstein's final arrest in 2019, years after his conviction in 2008 on charges of procuring a child for prostitution.

Location data was sent from visitors' mobile devices to platforms that facilitate targeted advertising. This information was then compiled by Near Intelligence, a controversial location data brokerage firm.

A report issued by Wired magazine mapped data taken from the devices that visited Epstein's island in the Caribbean Sea, and traced it to about 166 locations in the United States, which are believed to be the homes and work addresses of the devices' owners.

Some of the devices were also linked to addresses in Ukraine, the Cayman Islands and Australia, according to the report.

Little St. James, in the US Virgin Islands, was a focal point in Epstein's horrific child sex trafficking operation.

Little St. James' troubling past has been extensively documented in photographs, victim testimony and court cases against Epstein and his associates.

Epstein, with the help of his close friend and assistant Ghislaine Maxwell, trafficked several young girls to the island, where they were raped and abused.

The data analyzed by Wired magazine is believed to include visitors to the island and victims of abuse.

Some of the devices have been linked to luxury properties in Michigan, Florida and Martha's Vineyard. Others are said to have been returned to low-income areas where Epstein's victims lived and studied.

One device reportedly sent coordinates from a sidewalk across the street from Donald Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Near Intelligence obtained the data from ad exchanges, which are online platforms that facilitate the buying and selling of advertising online.

The information can include location data that allows analysts to track devices' movements. The company was accused of misusing data, and declared bankruptcy in December.

“Most clients who come to me, their first concern is privacy and safety,” Lisa Bloom, who represented 11 of Epstein's alleged victims, told Wired. “It's very troubling to think that the location of any sexual assault victim would be tracked and then stored and then sold to someone.” And he's supposed to do whatever he wants with it."

Little St. James was nicknamed "Pedophile Island" by residents of the US Virgin Islands during Epstein's rampant wholesale abuse after he bought the island in 1998 for $7.5 million.

He bought Great St. James Island, the larger neighboring island, in 2016 for $22.5 million to protect his privacy.

Epstein died in August 2019, at the age of 66, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
