Benjamin Owen, a 44-year-old YouTuber from Memphis, recounted a harrowing experience after trespassing on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous Little St James Island in the Caribbean. Owen, along with friends, intended to raise awareness for his human trafficking non-profit, We Fight Monsters, and test a theory about Epstein's alleged survival. However, their exploration turned nightmarish when they were spotted near the island's temple. While his friends escaped, Owen was captured by island staff, who allegedly hogtied him and locked him in a concrete dungeon, where he feared for his life. He described the room as a suffocating, makeshift cell with no ventilation. Eventually, Virgin Islands police intervened, arresting him for trespassing. Following the incident, Owen discovered that Ann Rodriguez, who reportedly manages the property, was involved in his detention and has since been arrested for a separate incident involving another trespasser. The island's new owner, billionaire Stephen Deckoff, is reportedly planning to transform the site into a luxury resort, while the holding company has filed a lawsuit against Owen and his associates, branding them as reckless fame-seekers.
