An investigation has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Show Trail of Movement

These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel

Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.

“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

A bill to make public all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.

In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
