Approximately Ninety Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airfields
A review has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving 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. Notably, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose 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 comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
