A content creator who documented construction activity on Jeffrey Epstein’s former private island has issued an apology after claiming he is now being followed by black Escalade trucks outside his home.
The Caribbean island known as Little Saint James was sold to billionaire Stephen Deckoff following Epstein’s death whilst awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The businessman purchased both Great St. James and Little St. James through his firm SD Investments for $60 million, despite the properties being listed at $125 million, according to the New York Times.
Deckoff announced plans to transform the site into an adults-only resort, and American YouTuber Nico Grigg succeeded in reaching the island’s shore to film the ongoing development. His footage, posted to YouTube on 30 January, shows construction work visible from the coastline and has garnered over 3.1 million views.
Grigg travelled to the US Virgin Islands and made several unsuccessful attempts to access the island before finally landing on the beach during his final day in the territory. The video reveals people still appear to be present on the island, with Grigg claiming he spotted individuals in golf carts filming him as he jet skied around the property.
The influencer was unable to explore beyond the beach after stepping on several sea urchins upon arrival. His footage captured the transformation work underway at the location, which was the site of many illegal activities orchestrated by the convicted child sex offender, serial rapist and human trafficker.
Following the video’s publication in January, shortly before the latest batch of Epstein files were released by the Department of Justice, Grigg posted to TikTok claiming black Escalade trucks now wait outside his home each day. He stated he believes he is being stalked following his visit to the island.
In an apology video, Grigg said: “For all I know this could be Jeffrey Epstein’s friends. If I pissed anyone off, I apologise, and I want this all to be over.”

The FBI raided Little Saint James following Epstein’s death. Over three million documents forming part of the infamous Epstein files have since been released to the public, with recent releases including emails alleging that former business secretary Peter Mandelson shared briefings with Epstein.
The latest batch of files released by the Department of Justice included photographs showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling over a woman. A number of celebrity names have been implicated in the documents since their release, maintaining public interest in locations associated with Epstein’s criminal activities.
The island in the US Virgin Islands remains a focal point of attention as construction continues on Deckoff’s planned resort development. Grigg’s video documentation of the site has attracted millions of views from users interested in the current state of the property where Epstein conducted his trafficking operation.
The content creator’s expedition to the island occurred after two earlier unsuccessful attempts during his time in the territory. His third and final attempt allowed him to film evidence of ongoing activity and development work at the controversial location.
