A review has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel

The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel

Unidentified women were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.

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

British Victims and Court Cases

Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.

Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
