Approximately Ninety Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred 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 operations in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
