A review has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.

Aviation Records Show Trail of Travel

The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The review found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unnamed women were listed among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.

“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

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

In a related development, a US judge ruled 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 charges.
