The infamous Caribbean islands once owned by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be transformed into a luxury resort, according to a report.
The properties, known informally as “Paedophile Islands,” have been shrouded in controversy due to their association with Epstein’s sex parties. However, Deckoff, the founder of Black Diamond Capital Management, envisions a new chapter for these islands.
The islands were purchased by billionaire Stephen Deckoff in May 2023 for $60 million, as reported by Forbes.
The resort, slated to open its doors in 2025, will feature 25 rooms and span over 230 acres, including 70-plus acres on Little St. James and 160-plus acres on Great St. James, according to The Post.
The dark legacy of the islands began when Epstein acquired them in 1998 for $8 million. Following Epstein’s death, numerous women stepped forward to reveal that they had been trafficked and abused on the islands.
This week, a United States court disclosed numerous documents from a lawsuit related to the sex crimes of the billionaire fund manager.
These documents unveiled the names of influential individuals connected to the infamous sex offender. Former US Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, UK royal Prince Andrew, pop star Michael Jackson, and scientist Stephen Hawking were among the 200 names listed in the court document.
The documents, which have 1,000 pages of statements by victims, expose grim details about Jeffery Epstein and how he and his network sexually assaulted multiple underage girls.
