Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.

Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel

These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights

Unnamed “females” were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to make public 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 follow through. A vast number of files are expected to be made public.

In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
