A review has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying British women who assert they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.

Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement

The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unidentified women were recorded among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

A bill to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.

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