Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.

Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel

These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The review found 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights

Unidentified “females” were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations 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 sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.

Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
