A content creator who found his way onto Jeffrey Epstein’s island was forced to release an apology message after documenting his trip.
YouTuber Nico Grigg took it upon himself to sneak onto the financier’s infamous island, known as Little Saint James. The island, which is said to be the site of many of the illegal activities orchestrated by Epstein, is located in the US Virgin Islands.
A video was uploaded to Grigg’s channel in January, shortly before the latest batch of Epstein files were released by the Department of Justice, with some snaps showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling over a woman.
While a number of celebrity names have been implicated in the files since, it didn’t stop the influencer from stepping foot on the island by any means necessary.

Grigg travelled to the US Virgin Islands, and after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, the American and his friends made one last attempt on their final day in the territory.
Being able to film it all, footage revealed that people still appear to be there.
He explained that in the years following Epstein’s death while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, the island was eventually sold to billionaire Stephen Deckoff, as reported by the New York Times. The businessman bought it under his firm SD Investments, announcing that he had purchased both Great St. James and Little St. James islands for $60 million, despite the listed price sitting at $125 million.
Grigg said that Deckoff planned to turn the island into an adults-only resort, and he succeeded in landing on the island’s shore, as seen in footage posted to YouTube on 30 January.
The video has since garnered over 3.1 million views, as the content creator pointed out that that he could see construction work taking place from the coast line. He further claimed that he could see people in golf carts filming him, as he jet skied around the island.
However, he wasn’t able to roam around on the island, only reaching the beach of Little Saint James after stepping on several sea urchins.
Grigg has since claimed on TikTok that he is being stalked by black Escalade trucks which wait outside his home each day.
He posted a video to apologise to anyone he might have offended with his stunt, stating: “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 island itself was raided by the FBI following the death of Epstein, who was a convicted child sex offender, serial rapist, and human trafficker.
Over three million documents, which are part of the infamous Epstein files, have since been released to the public, with a number of emails alleging that former business secretary Peter Mandelson shared briefings with Epstein.
