A review has found that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who allege they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.

Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel

The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights

Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.

In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be released.

In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
