A YouTuber has gone viral after releasing a video of himself sneaking onto the infamous Epstein Island, where many of the billionaire's heinous crimes are said to have taken place.
Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein purchased the island in 1998 and owned it right up until his death in 2019.
Tyler Oliviera has now provided a unique insight into what the island looks like now, after filming himself attempting to access the highly secure piece of land by jet ski, after travelling to the US Virgin Islands by plane.

The island is still widely referred to as Epstein Island, or even 'Land of Sin', but its real name is Little Saint James, and it is now owned by a billionaire investor, called Stephen Deckoff.
Oliveria filmed his video last year, before it was announced that Deckoff had purchased the island.
As Oliviera's footage shows, the island was locked down with a high level of private security, both on land and in the water, making it near-impossible to access for trespassers.

However, this didn't stop the YouTuber and his friends from making it onto the actual island and capturing the entire process on video.
Oliveira and his accomplice circled the island on their jet skis to find the area with the least security, before hopping off their vehicles and swimming towards the land.
After climbing up the cliff's edge, the content creator finally made it onto land and made a run towards the famous temple building, which upon arrival was completely boarded up.

"This is the place were evil, evil things went down in this temple right here," he tells the camera. "This is where there used to be a giant sun compass that was removed apparently."
In the video, Oliviera notes that the temple looks completely different from Epstein's original design, having been painted completely white.

The original building was painted with blue and white stripes and donned an unusual gold dome, which is said to have blown off in a hurricane in 2017, though it remains unclear what the building was actually used for.
After making his way past the now-white temple, the YouTuber was quickly forced to give up his mission after a buggy filled with security guards started hurtling towards him.

However, Oliviera isn't the first person to have successfully made it onto the island.
Urban explorer Andy Brocco released footage of himself doing the same thing back in 2020.
Brocco claims he was forced to remove his videos from YouTube, but later reshared them as clips on TikTok.
