Ben Owen, the CEO of Once American and co-founder of We Fight Monsters, was recently arrested for trespassing on Jeffrey Epstein's private island, Little St. James. On The Shawn Ryan Show, host Shawn Ryan introduced him, saying, "Let me give you an intro, just for anybody that didn't see the first episode. Ben Owen," before addressing the high-profile arrest.
The trespass occurred during an excursion tied to the "Epstein Isn't Dead" campaign. Shawn Ryan welcomed co-conspirator Ryan Dalton to the show, noting that he was "one of the men alongside Ben Owen during the little J- little St. James excursion".
Though they remain united in their activism, Ryan Dalton did offer a slight correction regarding his own credentials, telling Shawn Ryan, "I gotta correct Ben on two things. I love Ben, but I am an actively barred lawyer", before clarifying that he is actually a barred lawyer with an inactive license.
With the legal fallout from their island excursion still unfolding, the group's controversial stunts are set to keep drawing intense scrutiny from both law enforcement and independent media.
