Newly released Department of Justice files reveal that Jeffrey Epstein used the Hamptons as a primary hub for his "grooming" operations. The documents allege that Epstein routinely flew young women to the exclusive enclave for "girls' weekends," using a network of wealthy local contacts and luxury parties to build trust and facilitate exploitation.
The documents include emails suggesting Epstein coordinated travel, parties and weekend stays in the Hamptons through well-connected acquaintances. An FBI document from 2020 cited in the files said a tipster claimed Epstein had close ties in the area who would “procure underage girls for him.”
