A man identified as Benjamin Owen, 44, of Tennessee, says he was assaulted after entering a private island that had been owned by financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to reports, Owen claims he was hogtied, blindfolded, and thrown into a dungeon or dungeon-like area. The accounts describe the incident as occurring after he went onto property he did not have permission to enter. Media coverage focuses on Owen’s allegation and his description of what happened to him while on the island. The reports do not provide consistent, independently verified details beyond Owen’s claims, and they do not establish whether any specific individuals were responsible. No outlet in the provided material confirms the allegations through court records or other documentation. The reports frame the story around a trespassing allegation and Owen’s account of being restrained and confined, while the ownership history of the island is linked to Epstein. Additional information, such as the status of any investigation or legal proceedings, is not included in the excerpts provided.
