Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.

Aviation Records Show Trail of Travel

The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights

Unidentified “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.

“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings

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

In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
