Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The review uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
