Jeffrey Epstein island documents add new celebrity names
Jeffrey Epstein’s island still surfaces in new document dumps years after his death, and the names attached to Little St. James keep expanding. Recent releases from the Department of Justice and congressional files confirm visits that earlier reporting only hinted at, pulling in tech executives, political figures, and additional entertainers. Flight logs, emails, and victim statements now sketch a wider network that once helped keep Epstein’s operations shielded.
Alan Dershowitz
Dershowitz served as Epstein’s lead attorney during the 2007 plea deal and appears on multiple flight manifests to Little St. James. Virginia Giuffre and Sarah Ransome both named him in lawsuits alleging sexual encounters arranged by Epstein. In June 2026 the House Oversight Committee requested Dershowitz testify after Epstein assistant Lesley Groff provided new details to investigators. Dershowitz has denied every accusation and says he never visited the island for anything improper.
Lawrence Krauss
Krauss defended Epstein in public statements and accepted research funding routed through Arizona State University. Epstein also paid some of Krauss’s legal costs after 2017 sexual-harassment complaints surfaced at the university. Newly released emails show Krauss asked Epstein for strategy advice while those complaints were pending. Krauss has maintained that his island visits were limited to academic discussions.
Steven Pinker
Pinker’s name surfaces on Epstein-funded flight logs after Harvard accepted millions in donations from the financier. The linguist has stated he flew once for a conference discussion and never returned. University records list him among several faculty members who used Epstein’s plane during that period.
Woody Allen
Allen never appears on the Lolita Express manifests, yet he dined regularly with Epstein on the Upper East Side and attended events with Prince Andrew. Released correspondence from 2015 shows Epstein arranged a White House tour for Allen and Soon-Yi Previn. An earlier assistant has alleged an eight-year relationship with Allen that began when she was sixteen. Allen has denied wrongdoing in every public statement.
Larry Summers
Summers appears on island flight records and accepted a thirty-million-dollar gift from Epstein earmarked for Harvard’s biology program. Emails through 2019 show continued contact after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Harvard launched a fresh review of those ties in 2025; Summers announced his retirement from the faculty amid the inquiry.
Recent Document Releases and Expanded Visitor Insights
DOJ and House files unsealed between 2024 and 2026 added several previously unconfirmed guests. Victim statements place Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki on the island for a single day in 2007. Naomi Campbell stopped briefly while traveling to an F1 race. Peter Mandelson stayed one or two nights, and Ehud Barak visited for daytime hours with family and security. Howard Lutnick and his family shared lunch on Little St. James in December 2012, according to emails that list his wife, children, and nannies on the invitation.
The Island's Current Status and Future Development
Stephen Deckoff bought Little St. James and neighboring Great St. James in May 2023 for sixty million dollars. Plans filed with local authorities call for a twenty-five-room luxury resort aimed at high-end tourism. The transaction closed Epstein’s ownership chapter and shifted the physical property into private redevelopment.
Ongoing Investigations and Congressional Scrutiny
The House Oversight Committee continues to examine Epstein’s remaining associates. After Groff’s testimony, lawmakers scheduled additional hearings focused on Dershowitz and other frequent visitors. Survivors’ groups have pressed for broader document releases that could name more short-term guests.
Tech and Business Figures in New Files
Files released in early 2026 highlight connections beyond the original academic and entertainment circles. Lutnick’s family lunch is now documented in detail. Brin’s day visit appears in victim recollections. Separate emails reference discussions with Elon Musk about potential travel that never materialized. These entries widen the known roster without proving participation in criminal activity.
Each new tranche of records adds context to how Epstein maintained his circle. The island itself has moved into new hands, yet the questions attached to its former visitors continue through congressional review and fresh document disclosures.
